How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Mailify
Mailify is a email and SMS marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Every The Events Calendar event record should flow into Mailify automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to email and SMS marketing. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A Mailify account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Mailify to AFI
- Log in to your Mailify account.
- Copy your Account Number and API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailify.
- Enter the credentials and click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Mailify.
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 Mailify as the destination
Choose Mailify from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Mailify.
4. Map fields
Match each Mailify 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 Mailify 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 phone to Mailify with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
