How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Vtiger

Vtiger is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. 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 Vtiger.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting The Events Calendar to CRM, 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 Vtiger account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Vtiger to AFI

1. Get your Vtiger URL, username, and Access Key.
2. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Vtiger.
3. Enter the URL, username, and Access Key.
4. Click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Vtiger.

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 Vtiger as the destination

Choose Vtiger from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Vtiger.

4. Map fields

Match each Vtiger 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 Vtiger 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 name, email, and phone to Vtiger with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
