How to Send Easy Digital Downloads Orders to Acumbamail

Acumbamail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Easy Digital Downloads handles digital product sales beautifully, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Acumbamail.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-order fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Easy Digital Downloads installed and configured.
• A Acumbamail account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Digital Downloads to Acumbamail.

Select Easy Digital Downloads as the form provider. AFI fires when a purchase is completed, giving you access to customer details, product information, payment data, and download links.

Only want to send certain purchases? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync completed payments or specific products.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Place a test purchase in your Easy Digital Downloads store. Check Acumbamail to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
