How to Send Easy Digital Downloads Orders to MailRelay

MailRelay is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting Easy Digital Downloads order data into MailRelay does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

Skip the automation middleman

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

What you will need

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

Connect MailRelay to AFI

1. Log in to your MailRelay account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → MailRelay.
4. Paste the API Key and your account name, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

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

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 MailRelay as the destination

Choose MailRelay from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to a MailRelay list.

4. Map fields

Match each MailRelay 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 MailRelay 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 email and name to MailRelay with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
