How to Send WPForms Submissions to The Events Calendar

The Events Calendar is a event management platform. Getting WPForms data into The Events Calendar does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to The Events Calendar. 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 The Events Calendar account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect The Events Calendar to AFI

The Events Calendar uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → The Events Calendar, 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 WPForms to The Events Calendar.

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 The Events Calendar as the destination

Choose The Events Calendar from the platform dropdown and pick Add Event. This creates an event in The Events Calendar.

4. Map fields

Match each The Events Calendar 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 The Events Calendar 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 The Events Calendar 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.
