How to Send LearnDash Enrollments to iContact
iContact is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting LearnDash enrollment data into iContact does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.
The direct approach
AFI delivers enrollment and course data straight from WordPress to iContact. 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 iContact account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect iContact to AFI
iContact uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → iContact, 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 LearnDash to iContact.
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 iContact as the destination
Choose iContact from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to iContact.
4. Map fields
Match each iContact 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 iContact 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 email and name to iContact with unlimited enrollments. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-enrollment fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions

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.
