How to Send WP User Frontend Data to Events Manager
Events Manager is a event management platform. Here is how to pipe WP User Frontend submission straight into Events Manager using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
The direct approach
AFI delivers submission data straight from WordPress to Events Manager. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with WP User Frontend installed and configured.
- A Events Manager account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Events Manager to AFI
Events Manager uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Events Manager, 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 WP User Frontend to Events Manager.
2. Pick your trigger
Select WP User Frontend as the form provider. AFI fires when a post is submitted or a form is completed, giving you access to author name, email, post title, post content, and custom field values.
3. Select Events Manager as the destination
Choose Events Manager from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in Events Manager.
4. Map fields
Match each Events Manager field on the left to the corresponding WP User Frontend field on the right. Common mappings include author name, email, post title, post content, and custom field values. 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 User Frontend. Check Events Manager 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 title, date, and description to Events Manager with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
