How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Webhook

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

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 Webhook account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Webhook to AFI

Webhook uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Webhook, 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 Webhook.

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 Webhook as the destination

Choose Webhook from the platform dropdown and pick Send Webhook. This sends an HTTP POST to a webhook URL.

4. Map fields

Match each Webhook 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 Webhook 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 any JSON payload to Webhook with unlimited records. Pro adds custom headers and authentication. No per-record fees on any plan.
