How to Send Elementor Pro Forms Submissions to CiviCRM

CiviCRM is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Elementor Pro Forms comes with powerful design tools but no built-in CRM or email integration. AFI bridges that gap to CiviCRM. Here is the full setup.

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-submission fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Elementor Pro installed and at least one Pro Form.
• A CiviCRM account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect CiviCRM to AFI

CiviCRM uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → CiviCRM, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Elementor to CiviCRM.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Elementor Pro Form as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select CiviCRM as the destination

Choose CiviCRM from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in CiviCRM.

4. Map fields

Match each CiviCRM field on the left to the corresponding Elementor form field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your Elementor form and submit. Check CiviCRM 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 name, email, and phone to CiviCRM with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal success message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple Elementor forms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
