Connect FluentCRM and WordPress

FluentCRM already lives inside WordPress. FlowMattic connects its contacts to the rest of the site: tags can grant or remove roles, new contacts can get user accounts, new users and commenters can become tagged contacts, and a new post can start a newsletter draft. Everything runs on the same install, with no outside service.

1. TriggerNew Contact Created
2. ActionNew User

When FluentCRM fires New Contact Created, FlowMattic runs New User in WordPress with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

FluentCRM 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.

Create a WordPress user for each new FluentCRM contact

Contacts imported or added by forms get a site account with the same name and email, so they can log in to a members area or course straight away.

Give a member role when a paid tag is added

Payment tools often tag the contact. The workflow finds the matching user and adds the member role, so access follows the tag without editing users by hand.

Take the role away when the tag is removed

When a renewal fails and the tag is removed, the same user loses the member role, which closes access and keeps the CRM and the site telling the same story.

Add new site users to FluentCRM with a source tag

Every new registration becomes a contact, created or updated by email, and gets a tag for where they signed up, ready for a welcome sequence.

Draft a newsletter campaign for each new post

When you publish a post, FluentCRM gets a campaign draft with the title and excerpt, so the newsletter about it only needs a review and a send.

Log blog comments on the commenter's contact

An approved comment adds an event to the contact with the post it was on, so the CRM shows which readers take part, not just who opens emails.

Save the unsubscribe on the user's profile

When a contact unsubscribes, a user meta field is set on their account, so other plugins on the site, such as a membership plugin, can respect it.

Set up: a user account per new contact

At the end, each new FluentCRM contact gets a WordPress user with the same email.

  1. Trigger on New Contact Created

    Create a workflow with the FluentCRM New Contact Created trigger and add a test contact so its fields are captured. Neither app needs a connection.

  2. Check for an account

    Add WordPress Get User by Email and a Filter that continues only when no user was found, so existing users are left alone.

  3. Create the user

    Add WordPress New User and map the email, first and last name and the role new contacts should have.

  4. Test and switch on

    Test with a contact whose email has no account yet, check the new user in wp-admin 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

  • WordPress will not create two accounts with the same email. Look the email up with Get User by Email first, or the New User step fails for people who already have an account.
  • FluentCRM and WordPress steps run on the same site as FlowMattic, so neither needs a connection under Connects.
  • Contact Added to Tags fires for any tag. Add a Filter on the tag name so only your paid or member tag changes roles.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

FluentCRM and WordPress connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Everything stays in one install

Contacts, users and workflows all live in your WordPress database. No contact data leaves the site for these jobs.

Tags become access

A tag added by a form, a payment or a FluentCRM automation can give or take away a role, which suits memberships and courses.

Unlimited runs on your server

Imports that create thousands of contacts and users cost the same as a quiet day.

Common questions

Can a FluentCRM tag give someone access to members-only content?

Yes. Start from Contact Added to Tags, find the user with Get User by Email and use Add Role to User or Change User Role. Your membership plugin then treats them as a member.

Does FluentCRM need a connection in FlowMattic?

No. FluentCRM and WordPress run on the same site as FlowMattic, so their triggers and actions work without any API key or connection.

Can I keep tags from changing staff accounts?

Yes. Add a Filter after Get User by Email that stops the workflow when the user is an administrator or editor, so a tag added by mistake never changes a staff role.

Can a new post go out as a campaign by itself?

These workflows create the campaign with Create Campaign so you can check it first. Sending stays in your hands in FluentCRM.

Can I add my existing users to FluentCRM in one go?

Yes. From a Schedule, run Get All Users by Role, loop over the users with Iterator and save each one with Create or Update Contact. Switch the workflow off once the run is done.
