How to Send WP Job Manager Data to Resend
Resend is a email delivery platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. WP Job Manager manages a job listing is submitted, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Resend.
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-job fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WP Job Manager installed and configured.
- A Resend account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Resend to AFI
- Log in to your Resend account.
- Copy your API Key from settings.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Resend.
- Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Job Manager to Resend.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WP Job Manager as the form provider. AFI fires when a job listing is submitted, giving you access to company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL.
3. Select Resend as the destination
Choose Resend from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Resend.
4. Map fields
Match each Resend field on the left to the corresponding WP Job Manager field on the right. Common mappings include company name, job title, email, location, job type, and application URL. 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 WP Job Manager. Check Resend 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 and name to Resend with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
