How to integrate WPForms in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your WPForms connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect WPForms
When prompted, authorize access to WPForms in WEXTL once. WPForms credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your WPForms account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with WPForms yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect WPForms to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How WPForms connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever WPForms app is called in workflows. That allows your marketing automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that WPForms supports.
The following table illustrates what fields WPForms integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
WordPress - Site URLRequired | url | Log into your WordPress admin and copy your site URL from your browser tab, e.g https://your-wordpress-site.com |
WordPress - UsernameRequired | text | — |
WordPress - PasswordRequired | password | Log in to your WordPress admin, go to Users → Profile → Application Passwords, create a new application password, and copy it |
Connect WPForms to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with WPForms below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with WPForms. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with WPForms integration
Select Watch a Form Entries trigger from WPForms - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in WPForms, workflow will start [7] from Watch a Form Entries node.
Search for Add a Form Field, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch a Form Entries and Add a Form Field, so only important data pass from Watch a Form Entries to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of WPForms automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
WPForms on WEXTL has 11 modules for combining marketing automations. Explore WPForms documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating WPForms in your workflows.
WPForms has 2 triggers, including "Watch a Form Entries" and "Watch Forms". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 9 actions, including "List Form Summary", "List Forms", and "Retrieve a Form", and more. Refer to our WPForms Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The WPForms integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by WPForms official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where WPForms provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever WPForms or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for WPForms inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with WPForms modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
