How to Send Paid Memberships Pro Data to Close CRM

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Paid Memberships Pro installed and configured.

• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Close CRM to AFI

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Paid Memberships Pro to Close CRM.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Paid Memberships Pro as the form provider. AFI fires when a member checks out or a membership level changes, giving you access to member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID.

3. Select Close CRM as the destination

Choose Close CRM from the platform dropdown and pick Create Lead. This creates a lead in Close CRM.

4. Map fields

Match each Close CRM field on the left to the corresponding Paid Memberships Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and order ID. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

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

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Paid Memberships Pro. Check Close CRM 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 Close CRM with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
