Shape Software is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Fluent Forms is one of the fastest-growing form plugins for WordPress. Shape Software is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Fluent Forms to CRM, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

  • A WordPress site with Fluent Forms installed and at least one form.
  • A Shape Software account.
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Shape Software to AFI

  1. Log in to your Shape Software account.
  2. Copy your API Key from settings.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Shape Software.
  4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Fluent Forms to Shape Software.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Fluent Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select Shape Software as the destination

Choose Shape Software from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Shape Software.

4. Map fields

Match each Shape Software field on the left to the corresponding Fluent Forms 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 Fluent form and submit. Check Shape Software 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 Shape Software 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 confirmation message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple Fluent Forms?

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