What it does

Form entries often need to go somewhere else: a CRM, a mailing list, a team chat or a spreadsheet. Copying that data by hand takes time and invites mistakes. This addon passes WPForms data to n8n automatically, so each submission can start a workflow that runs across the many apps n8n works with. You build the automation logic in n8n and never have to write code on the WordPress side.

Setup happens in the WPForms Form Builder. You create a connection, pick the event that should trigger it, and map individual form fields to the values your n8n workflow expects. Data goes to n8n through a webhook URL, and the addon works with self-hosted or local n8n instances as well. You can add custom values to the field mapping, mark sensitive ones as secure so they are redacted in the delivery log, and test the connection before going live.

Best for

WPForms users who already run workflows in n8n
Marketers automating lead follow-ups and CRM updates
Agencies running self-hosted n8n for client sites

Features

Event-based workflow triggers

Choose which WPForms event starts a workflow, such as a form being submitted or a payment being completed, so automations run at the right moment.

Field mapping table

Map individual form fields to variables in your n8n workflow, giving you control over exactly which data is sent and how it is labeled.

Secure custom values

Add custom values to a connection's field mapping and mark them as secure with a padlock toggle, so they are redacted in the delivery log.

Self-hosted n8n support

Send submissions to a self-hosted or local n8n instance using its webhook URL, with an option to enable local delivery.

Connection testing

Test the connection to your n8n instance from the form settings to confirm that data will reach your workflow before real entries arrive.

Delivery logging

Successful deliveries to n8n are logged, which gives you a record to check when you want to confirm that submissions went through.

No-code automation

Build multi-step workflows across email marketing tools, CRMs, project management apps and team chat through n8n without programming on your site.

Questions about WPForms n8n

Which form events can start an n8n workflow?

You decide which WPForms event triggers each connection. Examples include a form being submitted and a payment being completed. When that event happens, the mapped form data is sent to your n8n workflow through its webhook URL.

Does it work with a self-hosted n8n instance?

Yes. You can point a connection at the webhook URL of a self-hosted or local n8n instance. Local delivery can be enabled for local setups, and you can test the connection to confirm that submissions will arrive.

Can I keep sensitive values out of the logs?

You can add custom values to the field mapping and mark them as secure using the padlock toggle. Values marked as secure are redacted in the delivery log instead of being stored in plain text.

Do I need to write code to set up automations?

No. You map form fields and choose trigger events in the WPForms Form Builder, then build the workflow steps in n8n's visual editor. That covers tasks like sending follow-up emails, notifying a team or updating a CRM.
