How to Send Formidable Forms Submissions to DrChrono
DrChrono is a healthcare platform. Formidable Forms lets you build complex forms with conditional logic and calculations, but sending data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to DrChrono.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting Formidable Forms to healthcare, 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 Formidable Forms installed and at least one form.
- A DrChrono account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect DrChrono to AFI
DrChrono uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → DrChrono, 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 Formidable to DrChrono.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Formidable Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select DrChrono as the destination
Choose DrChrono from the platform dropdown and pick Create Patient. This creates a patient in DrChrono.
4. Map fields
Match each DrChrono field on the left to the corresponding Formidable 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 Formidable form and submit. Check DrChrono 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 DrChrono 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 Formidable Forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
