Would you like requests submitted via the contact or quote form on your website to automatically arrive in MICE Operations? By connecting forms on your (WordPress) website, requests are automatically converted into a new event. This saves time and prevents manual data entry.
In this article, we explain how to configure this easily.
Email integration: The easiest way to receive requests
The simplest method to automatically receive form submissions in MICE Operations is to use the email functionality of MICE. Every MICE account features a unique email address through which incoming messages are converted directly into a new event in the requests inbox.
How does it work?
Place a form on your (WordPress) website. This can be any arbitrary form, such as Contact Form 7, Elementor Forms, or FluentForms.
In the settings of your form, configure the notification email (the message sent as soon as someone completes the form) to be sent directly to your unique MICE email address.
As soon as the form is completed, MICE receives the email and a new event is created automatically containing the information from the request.
Tip! Ensure that the fields in your form are structured clearly (such as name, email address, date, and number of guests), so that the data can be processed in MICE as effectively as possible.
Advanced integration via n8n
If you require greater control over how the data from your web form arrives in MICE, or if you use a form that requires additional logic, you can utilise the integration platform n8n.
Using n8n, you can configure an intelligent intermediate step between your website form and MICE Operations.
When should you choose n8n?
If you wish to validate or transform data prior to sending it to MICE.
If you wish to merge information from multiple forms.
If your website module or form cannot send an email directly in the desired format.
How does it work?
n8n is an automation tool that connects applications to perform tasks automatically. The tool operates using a visual editor in which you connect triggers and actions.
In n8n, you capture the submission from your website form, after which the platform processes this data and subsequently forwards the information to MICE, where the event is created automatically.
