How to Send WPForms Submissions to Knack

Knack is a database platform. Here is how to pipe WPForms submissions straight into Knack using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Knack. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with WPForms installed and at least one form.
• A Knack account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Knack to AFI

1. Log in to your Knack account.
2. Copy your App ID and API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Knack.
4. Enter the credentials and click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WPForms to Knack.

2. Pick your trigger

Select WPForms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select Knack as the destination

Choose Knack from the platform dropdown and pick Add Record. This creates a record in a Knack app.

4. Map fields

Match each Knack field on the left to the corresponding WPForms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your WPForms form and submit. Check Knack 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 standard app fields to Knack with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple WPForms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
