Description
The Caldera Forms addon connects your Caldera Forms forms to AutomatorWP, turning every form submission into a trigger that can fire automated actions across WordPress. Built for anyone who already creates forms in Caldera and wants to cut out repetitive post-submission work, this component links field entries to workflows like registering users, awarding points, sending emails, creating records, and syncing with other plugins in the AutomatorWP ecosystem.
Key Features
- Form submission trigger: fires automations whenever a visitor submits a Caldera Forms form.
- Field mapping: uses the values entered in form fields as dynamic tags inside the actions you configure.
- Recipe builder integration: adds Caldera Forms to the AutomatorWP trigger selector alongside every other installed integration.
- Filter by specific form: lets you choose which Caldera form fires each recipe, keeping workflows separated by context.
- Chaining with other addons: combines a form submission with actions from different AutomatorWP-supported plugins in a single recipe.
Caldera Forms Benefits
- Post-submission automation: removes the manual tasks that usually follow an incoming form entry.
- Reuse existing forms: connects forms already published on your site without rebuilding them.
- Centralized workflows: keeps every form automation organized inside the AutomatorWP dashboard.
- Scalability across plugins: links form submissions to dozens of other integrations available in AutomatorWP.
Who Is It For?
- WordPress sites already using Caldera Forms as their form builder.
- Marketers who need to automate workflows based on captured leads.
- Membership, LMS, and community administrators who collect data through forms and want to trigger user actions.
Ideal for anyone using Caldera Forms on WordPress who wants to turn every submission into the starting point for automations orchestrated by AutomatorWP.
