How to Send The Events Calendar Data to DocuSign
DocuSign is a document signing platform. The Events Calendar manages an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to DocuSign.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting The Events Calendar to document signing, 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 The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A DocuSign account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect DocuSign to AFI
DocuSign uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → DocuSign, 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 The Events Calendar to DocuSign.
2. Pick your trigger
Select The Events Calendar as the form provider. AFI fires when an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, giving you access to attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total.
3. Select DocuSign as the destination
Choose DocuSign from the platform dropdown and pick Send Envelope. This creates and sends an envelope in DocuSign.
4. Map fields
Match each DocuSign field on the left to the corresponding The Events Calendar field on the right. Common mappings include attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total. 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 The Events Calendar. Check DocuSign 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 recipient email and name to DocuSign with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and template selection. No per-record fees on any plan.
