How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Maropost
Maropost is a marketing automation platform. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Maropost 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 marketing automation. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A Maropost account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Maropost to AFI
- Log in to your Maropost account.
- Copy your Account ID and API Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Maropost.
- 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 Maropost.
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 Maropost as the destination
Choose Maropost from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Maropost.
4. Map fields
Match each Maropost 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 Maropost 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, first name, and last name to Maropost with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
