WPForms collects the details; WordPress is where accounts, posts and roles live. FlowMattic turns each entry into the change it was meant for: a sign-up becomes a user, a guest article becomes a draft, a profile form updates user meta, a privacy form opens a data request. Made for membership sites, directories and blogs that take submissions.

1. TriggerNew Form Submission2. ActionNew UserWhen WPForms fires New Form Submission, 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
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.
Ready-made templateYour own styled form creates the account, with the role you choose and any extra fields saved as user meta, instead of the default WordPress registration screen.
New Form SubmissionNew User
View the template Ready-made templateWriters submit a title, body and category through WPForms. Each entry becomes a draft post in that category, so an editor reviews it in the normal editor before it goes live.
New Form SubmissionNew Post

An application form asks why the person wants to sell or write. A Filter passes the approved entries and Change User Role gives that existing account the new role.

A listing form takes a business name, description and logo. The workflow creates the post, adds the upload to the Media Library and sets it as the featured image.

Visitors ask for their data through a WPForms form. The workflow files a WordPress export request for their email, which WordPress confirms with them by email.

Attendees rate a workshop in WPForms, and their comment is added to the event's post so later visitors read real feedback without a separate reviews plugin.

When you finish, each entry on your WPForms registration form creates a WordPress account.
In WPForms, add fields for name, email and a username, plus anything you want stored on the profile.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the WPForms trigger and choose the form. WPForms runs on the same site, so no connection is needed. Submit it once to capture the fields.
Add WordPress New User, map email, username, first and last name, and pick the role new members should get.
Test with an email that has no account, check the new user under Users in wp-admin and turn the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
WPForms and WordPress connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
WPForms, FlowMattic and WordPress all run on the same site, so entries become users and posts without passing through any outside service.
Runs are unlimited, so a registration form that creates hundreds of accounts a day needs no larger plan.
Beyond users and posts, the workflow can set roles, write user meta, attach media, add comments and start privacy requests.
Yes. FlowMattic's WordPress New User action creates the account from any WPForms form. You choose the role and map the fields, and the form does not need a registration addon.
Add a password field to the form and map it in New User, or leave it out and add Send Password Reset after the user is created so WordPress emails them a link.
New Post lets you pick the post type, so listings, recipes or events can each go to their own type with the category or taxonomy the form chose.
Find the account with Get User by Email, then use Update User or Update User Meta with the form's answers. Add a Router if the same form should create new users too.
Yes. Map the visitor's email to GDPR Request Erase Personal Data. WordPress sends its usual confirmation email, and once confirmed you can run GDPR Execute Erase Personal Data.
