How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Dynamics 365
Dynamics 365 is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Dynamics 365 using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to CRM. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A Dynamics 365 account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Dynamics 365 to AFI
Dynamics 365 uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Dynamics 365, 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 Dynamics 365.
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 Dynamics 365 as the destination
Choose Dynamics 365 from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Dynamics 365.
4. Map fields
Match each Dynamics 365 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 Dynamics 365 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 Dynamics 365 with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
