How to Send Quill Forms Data to Cakemail

Cakemail is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Getting Quill Forms submission into Cakemail does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

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

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Quill Forms installed and configured.
• A Cakemail account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Cakemail to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

Select Quill Forms as the form provider. AFI fires when a conversational form is completed, giving you access to respondent name, email, phone, and any custom form answers.

3. Select Cakemail as the destination

Choose Cakemail from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to a Cakemail list.

4. Map fields

Match each Cakemail field on the left to the corresponding Quill Forms field on the right. Common mappings include respondent name, email, phone, and any custom form answers. 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 Quill Forms. Check Cakemail 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 Cakemail with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
