How to Send weForms Data to Tawk.to
Tawk.to is a live chat platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. If you want weForms submission synced to Tawk.to, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting weForms to live chat, 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 weForms installed and configured.
- A Tawk.to account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Tawk.to to AFI
- Log in to your Tawk.to account.
- Copy your API Key and Property ID.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Tawk.to.
- Enter the credentials and click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it weForms to Tawk.to.
2. Pick your trigger
Select weForms as the form provider. AFI fires when a form is submitted, giving you access to submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields.
3. Select Tawk.to as the destination
Choose Tawk.to from the platform dropdown and pick Add Property. This adds a property in Tawk.to.
4. Map fields
Match each Tawk.to field on the left to the corresponding weForms field on the right. Common mappings include submitter name, email, phone, and any custom form fields. 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 weForms. Check Tawk.to 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 and email to Tawk.to with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
