Use Cases and Who It Is For

This plugin is designed for site owners, marketers, and developers who want to eliminate manual data entry and repetitive administrative tasks. If you find yourself manually moving data from a contact form into a spreadsheet, a CRM, or a user profile, this integration is the solution you have been waiting for.

For eCommerce store owners, it is perfect for automatically assigning customers to specific membership levels or granting access to digital downloads immediately after a purchase inquiry form is submitted. For content creators and course instructors, it can automatically enroll users into a course or update their user profile based on a survey or application form. Essentially, if you use Ninja Forms to collect information, this plugin ensures that information works for you, rather than just sitting in your database.

Setup and How It Works

Setting up your first automation is straightforward and follows the intuitive AutomatorWP workflow structure:

1. Install and Activate: Ensure both the AutomatorWP core plugin and the Ninja Forms plugin are installed and active on your WordPress site.
2. Create an Automation: Navigate to the AutomatorWP menu in your dashboard and create a new automation.
3. Select Your Trigger: Choose the Ninja Forms integration and select the specific trigger, such as “A user submits a form.” You can then select the specific form you wish to monitor.
4. Define Your Actions: Choose the actions you want to occur once that form is submitted. This could be anything from sending an email, adding a tag to a user, or updating a field in another integrated plugin.
5. Activate: Save your automation and set it to “Live.” Your site will now handle these tasks automatically in the background every time a form submission meets your criteria.
