How to Send The Events Calendar Data to SuiteDash
SuiteDash is a business management platform. The Events Calendar manages an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to SuiteDash.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-event fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
- A SuiteDash account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect SuiteDash to AFI
- In SuiteDash, go to Profile → Integrations → SECURE API.
- Copy your Public ID and generate a Secret Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → SuiteDash.
- Enter the Public ID and Secret Key, then click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to SuiteDash.
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 SuiteDash as the destination
Choose SuiteDash from the platform dropdown and pick Add Company and Contact. This creates a company and linked contact in SuiteDash.
4. Map fields
Match each SuiteDash 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 SuiteDash 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 company name, contact name, and email to SuiteDash with unlimited records. Pro adds full field mapping including address, phone, and role fields. No per-record fees on any plan.
