Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Digital Downloads to Nimble.
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 Nimble as the destination
Choose Nimble from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Nimble.
4. Map fields
Match each Nimble 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 Nimble to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
