Fluent Forms already sits in your WordPress admin, and FlowMattic lets its entries change the site itself. A registration form can create the account, a request form can change a role after you approve it, a guest post form can create a draft, and a payment form can grant access, with the visitor sent to the right page afterwards.

1. TriggerNew Form Submission
2. ActionGet User by Email
When Fluent Forms fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Get User by Email in WordPress with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Fluent Forms and WordPress workflows you can build
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Register an account and send the visitor to a welcome page
Get User by Email checks whether the address is taken. A Router creates the account for new people, and Redirect to Custom URL takes them to your welcome page.

Change a user's role only after you approve it
A role request form finds the member by email, a Human in the Loop step emails you for approval, and the role changes only when you say yes.
New Form Submission→Get User by Email→Filter→Human in the Loop→Change User Role
Writers submit a title, article and bio through the form. New Post creates a draft for the editor, and Set Custom Response tells the writer when to expect an answer.
New Form Submission→New Post→Set Custom Response
Save profile form answers to user meta
Directories and member sites collect extra details like company or job title. The workflow finds the user and stores each answer as user meta for templates to show.
New Form Submission→Get User by Email→Update User Meta
Give paying members a role after a payment form
Sell a simple membership through a Fluent Forms payment form. Once paid, the buyer's account gets the members role your protected pages check for.
New Payment Submission (Pro)→Get User by Email→Add Role to User
Add uploaded files to the media library
Contest entries, portfolio pieces or press photos sent through an upload field are added to the media library, where editors can use them in posts.
At the end, new visitors who fill in your form get an account and land on your welcome page.
1
Build the form
Create a Fluent Forms form with name, email and any other details you want on the account.
2
Start from the form
Create a workflow with Fluent Forms New Form Submission, choose the form and submit a test entry.
3
Check for an account
Add WordPress Get User by Email with the email field, then a Router with one path for new emails and one for existing users.
4
Create the user
On the new-email path, add WordPress New User and map the email, name and the role new members should get.
5
Redirect the visitor
Add Redirect to Custom URL with your welcome page, test with a new email and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
Set Custom Response and Redirect to Custom URL act on the submission in progress, so they only work in workflows that start from a Fluent Forms trigger.
Role and meta actions need an existing user. Run Get User by Email first, and stop with a Filter when nobody is found.
New Payment Submission (Pro) is a Fluent Forms Pro trigger and needs a payment form.
Role changes can give people more access than intended. Keep a Human in the Loop step on any form that grants or changes roles.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Fluent Forms and WordPress connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
It all happens on one site
The form, the users and the posts are in the same WordPress database, so these workflows run inside your site without sending data elsewhere.
Rules you can see and test
Each registration or role rule is a workflow you can test with a sample entry before it touches real accounts.
Busy forms cost nothing extra
There is no task limit, so a registration form with hundreds of sign-ups a day runs on the same plan.
Common questions
Can Fluent Forms create WordPress users?
Yes. With FlowMattic, the Fluent Forms New Form Submission trigger can run the WordPress New User action with the email, name and role you map. Check for an existing account with Get User by Email first so repeat sign-ups do not fail.
How is this different from a Fluent Forms WordPress add-on?
FlowMattic gives you a workflow you control step by step: check for an account, ask for approval, add a role, save meta, then decide what the visitor sees. You can add other apps to the same workflow later.
Can submissions become posts?
Yes. Map the title and content fields to the WordPress New Post action. Most sites create guest posts as drafts so an editor reviews them, and can add a category with Add Category to Post.
Can I approve requests before anything changes?
Yes. Put a Human in the Loop step before the WordPress action. You get an approval request by email, and the workflow continues only when you approve.
