How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Google Calendar

Google Calendar is a natural destination for booking and appointment forms. Each submission becomes a calendar event automatically.

Every time someone fills out your form, that data should land in your Google Calendar account without anyone copying and pasting. This guide walks through setting that up with Contact Form 7 and Advanced Form Integration, no code required.

Why connect directly?

Third-party automation tools charge per task and route your data through their servers. Advanced Form Integration runs entirely on your WordPress site. No per-task fees, no external dependencies, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Contact Form 7 installed and at least one form.
• A Google Calendar account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Google Calendar to AFI

Google Calendar uses OAuth 2.0. In AFI → Settings → Google Calendar, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Give it a name that helps you identify it later, like Contact Form to Google Calendar.

2. Choose your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 as the form provider. Pick the specific form you want to connect. AFI reads the form fields automatically.

3. Choose Google Calendar as the action

Select Google Calendar from the platform dropdown, then pick Create Event. This creates an event on your Google Calendar.

4. Map your fields

For each Google Calendar field on the left, choose the matching Contact Form 7 field on the right. Map email to email, name to name, and so on. You can also add static text or dynamic tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Want to send only certain submissions? Add a conditional logic rule. For example, only create a contact when the form includes a valid email address, or route different form values to different Google Calendar lists.

6. Save and test

Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check Google Calendar to confirm the data arrived. If something is off, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version handles event title, date, time, and description with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks attendee management and reminder settings. There are no per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Will this slow down my Contact Form 7 form?

No. AFI processes the data asynchronously after the form submission completes. The visitor sees the normal success message with no delay.

Can I connect multiple forms to Google Calendar?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form. You can also send one form to multiple platforms by stacking integrations.

What happens if Google Calendar is temporarily unavailable?

AFI queues the data in the background and retries. You can also manually resend from the log if needed.
