How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a messaging platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Microsoft Teams using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Microsoft Teams. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
• A Microsoft Teams account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Microsoft Teams to AFI

Microsoft Teams uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams.

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 Microsoft Teams as the destination

Choose Microsoft Teams from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a message to a Microsoft Teams channel.

4. Map fields

Match each Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams 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 message text to Microsoft Teams with unlimited records. Pro adds channel selection via webhook. No per-record fees on any plan.
