How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Meta Conversions API

Meta Conversions API is a advertising platform. The Events Calendar handles an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted on your WordPress site. Meta Conversions API is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting The Events Calendar to advertising, 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 Meta Conversions API account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Meta Conversions API to AFI

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Meta Conversions API.

3. Select Meta Conversions API as the destination

Choose Meta Conversions API from the platform dropdown and pick Send Event. This sends an event via the Meta Conversions API.

4. Map fields

Match each Meta Conversions API 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 Meta Conversions API to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
