It’s official, the CiviCRM add-on for Ninja Forms is finally here.
Last year, as we sunset Caldera Forms, CiviCRM users from across the globe started reaching out to our team. Each message highlighting the importance and need of the Caldera Form CiviCRM integration for their business.
If you are not familiar, CiviCRM is one of the most popular open-source CRM software tools in the market. More than 11,000 non-profits worldwide use CiviCRM to manage their donor base and membership.
I won’t lie; we had some pretty big shoes to fill. The Caldera Forms CiviCRM integration had an extensive array of features and the most devoted fan base, next to the Grateful Dead that we’ve ever seen. That is why we found it incredibly important not to rush this release. Sorry if it took longer than expected, but we wanted to make sure we did it right.
Now that our CiviCRM add-on is here, I can honestly say that it is just as good if not better than the Caldera Forms CiviCRM integration.
What features come with the CiviCRM add-on?
With the new CiviCRM add-on for Ninja Forms, you can connect and update your CiviCRM account from any WordPress form. Easily add or update Contacts and Activities. Guess what? You won’t have to write a single line of code to connect WordPress with CiviCRM either!
Create new CiviCRM Contacts from any WordPress form
Simply add a CiviCRM Contact action to any form. Easily configure the action to capture any additional field data that you need for the contact:
- Contact type / subtype
- Email address(es)
- Phone(s)
- IM(s)
- Website(s)
- Address(es)
You can additionally link the Contact to any Activity types and statuses, subscribe the Contact to a group, add/manage tags and notes for the contact, and register the Contact to an Event ID!
Allow your existing Contacts to update their information
Each Ninja Forms CiviCRM Contact action can be set to check and see if the person submitting the form already exists as a Contact in your account. You can tell the add-on to check for matches using either:
- Email address only
- Name + email address
- Name + physical address
If there’s a match, the form will update their existing information rather than adding a new contact!
Connect WordPress with CiviCRM automatically; no setup required!
The connection between the Ninja Forms and your CiviCRM account is automatic. There is literally zero setup required! Just install/activate the add-on, and you’re ready to go! Even better, check the status of your connection anytime with the built-in diagnostic panel. If you have questions about CiviCRM, add-on, check out the CiviCRM documentation, or reach out to our support team for help.
