How the Formidable Forms SendPulse integration works

The Formidable Forms SendPulse integration uses ClickSyncr for SendPulse to send each submission to a SendPulse address book. Its form action lets you connect the account, choose the destination, and map the answers collected by this form.

Prepare the form and account

You need an active Formidable Forms installation, a SendPulse account, and access to its API key. The plugin’s readme, checked on 10 November 2026, requires WordPress 6.7 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. Prepare an email field and the other answers you want to collect before opening the integration.

If the Formidable Forms form should collect a marketing choice, add a suitable consent input before mapping. Decide which SendPulse address book should receive the contact. This gives you a specific destination to check when testing, instead of looking only for a successful form confirmation.

Install the WordPress plugin

In WordPress, open Plugins > Add New. Find ClickSyncr for SendPulse – Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable & Forminator, then select Install Now and Activate. Keep Formidable Forms active too: ClickSyncr adds an integration to that builder’s form settings.

Open the Formidable Forms integration

Open your Formidable form’s settings and select Actions & Notifications. Add or edit ClickSyncr for SendPulse. The integration is a Formidable action, with the connection and mapping controls inside it. Its default event is entry creation.

Keep the ClickSyncr action attached to the form whose entries should reach the destination. Check its event settings as well as its field mappings. Test by creating a new entry through the public form; editing an existing entry is a different action event.

Connect the SendPulse account

In SendPulse, open Settings > API. Generate a key or copy an existing key, as described in the plugin’s setup instructions. Paste it into the form’s ClickSyncr for SendPulse configuration and select Connect. Choose the intended address book from the loaded destinations.

Confirm the SendPulse destination before mapping additional answers. If you change the account or select another address book, review the loaded fields again. Save the Formidable Forms configuration after the connection and mappings are complete.

Map the SendPulse fields

Map Email, then the variables loaded from the selected SendPulse address book. The variable names come from that address book, so there is no universal name-field list to copy. The mapping includes number and date types when the account declares them; other variables appear as text.

Match each SendPulse field to the Formidable Forms answer that contains the intended value. Check the source field’s label and type, especially when the form has similar names for several inputs. Use a test containing every mapped answer so missing values are visible during review.

Set consent and confirmation

Under Subscription and consent, select a Consent field if this Formidable Forms form should send only opted-in contacts. When selected, a checked answer allows delivery and an unchecked answer sends nothing to SendPulse. Without a selected field, the saved status choice controls delivery.

SendPulse offers immediate addition or Ask them to confirm by email (requires a verified sender). Confirmation uses the WordPress site administration email, which must be an activated sender in SendPulse. The confirmation message is sent in English. A selected consent field overrides the form’s status choice, so test that combination explicitly.

Test the published Formidable Forms form

Submit the public form with a contact you control and fill every mapped answer. In SendPulse, inspect the selected address book and compare the stored values. Check ClickSyncr’s recorded sync status too. If consent is configured, repeat with it unchecked and confirm that the contact was not sent.

Resolve the reported error

“Verify the site administration email as a SendPulse sender before asking contacts to confirm.” requires activating that sender in SendPulse. “SendPulse did not confirm that the contact was saved.” means the response did not confirm success. Inspect the address book before submitting another test.

The message “Nothing was sent. This form has no API key.” calls for checking the saved SendPulse connection on this form. Fix the reported issue before testing again. Do not assume a Formidable Forms success message means the destination accepted the contact.

The SendPulse overview covers the destination, while the Formidable Forms hub covers the builder. Review ClickSyncr Pro separately if you are comparing the available editions.

When a test entry reaches SendPulse with the right fields and consent, the Formidable Forms SendPulse integration is ready for real visitors.

Frequently asked questions

Which SendPulse address book variables can I map?

The plugin asks the selected address book for its variables and displays the returned names. Email has its own required mapping. Choose a matching form answer for each variable you need, and leave unrelated values unmapped. If you switch address books, inspect the choices again because the new book can have different variables. Verify the saved values with a test contact.

How does SendPulse newsletter consent work?

Choose a Consent field from the form’s supported inputs. When that field is configured, a checked answer allows the contact to be sent and an unchecked answer stops delivery. That choice overrides the form’s general subscriber status. Test an unchecked submission separately from a checked one. A confirmation-email status also needs the site administration email activated as a SendPulse sender.

What are the steps for a SendPulse WordPress form integration?

Install and activate ClickSyncr for SendPulse alongside your form builder. Open the form’s ClickSyncr configuration, connect the account key, choose an address book, and map Email plus the variables you collect. Review consent and subscriber status, then save. Finish with a public-form test and compare the contact’s address-book membership and values with the answers you submitted.
