How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Planhat
Planhat is a customer success platform. Every The Events Calendar event record should flow into Planhat automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
The direct approach
AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Planhat. 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 Planhat account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Planhat to AFI
- Log in to your Planhat account.
- Go to Settings → API and copy your API Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Planhat.
- Paste the API Token and click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Planhat.
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 Planhat as the destination
Choose Planhat from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Planhat.
4. Map fields
Match each Planhat 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 Planhat 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, name, and company to Planhat with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
