How to Send Easy Digital Downloads Orders to AddCalendar

AddCalendar is a calendar platform. Here is how to pipe Easy Digital Downloads order data straight into AddCalendar using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing order data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to calendar. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

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

Connect AddCalendar to AFI

1. Get your AddCalendar API Key from your account settings.
2. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → AddCalendar.
3. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

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

2. Pick your trigger

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.

3. Select AddCalendar as the destination

Choose AddCalendar from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in AddCalendar.

4. Map fields

Match each AddCalendar field on the left to the corresponding Easy Digital Downloads field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, product details, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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 AddCalendar to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps title, date, and description to AddCalendar with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
