How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to Attentive

Attentive is a SMS marketing platform. Every LearnDash enrollment should flow into Attentive automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers enrollment and course data straight from WordPress to Attentive. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with LearnDash installed and at least one course.
• A Attentive account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Attentive to AFI

1. Log in to your Attentive account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Attentive.
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 LearnDash to Attentive.

2. Pick your trigger

Select LearnDash as the form provider. AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson, giving you access to student details, course information, and enrollment data.

3. Select Attentive as the destination

Choose Attentive from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This subscribes a contact in Attentive.

4. Map fields

Match each Attentive field on the left to the corresponding LearnDash field on the right. Common mappings include student name, email, course title, and enrollment date. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Complete a test enrollment in LearnDash. Check Attentive 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 phone number to Attentive with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which LearnDash events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when a student enrolls in a course or completes a lesson. This covers new enrollments, course completions, and student registrations.

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the enrollment event completes. Your students are not affected.

Can I send enrollments to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every enrollment flows to all of them simultaneously.
