How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to SendFox
Contact Form 7 is the most-installed form plugin on WordPress, and SendFox is one of the most popular email marketing tools. The problem is that Contact Form 7 has no built-in way to send submissions to external platforms. The usual fix is Zapier, but that means a monthly subscription, a per-task meter, and your data routed through a third-party cloud.
This guide shows you how to connect Contact Form 7 to SendFox directly from WordPress, with no code and no per-task fees. Every form submission is sent automatically.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Contact Form 7 installed and at least one form created.
- A SendFox account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin installed and activated.
Connect your SendFox account
- Sign in to your SendFox account.
- Go to Account → OAuth and create a Personal Access Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → SendFox.
- Click Add Account, paste the access token, and save.
Step-by-step: Contact Form 7 to SendFox
Step 1: Install Advanced Form Integration
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New, search for “Advanced Form Integration,” install it, and activate it.
Step 2: Connect SendFox
Open Advanced Form Integration in the admin menu and go to Settings to connect your SendFox account. Follow the steps above to save your credentials. This is a one-time step.
Step 3: Create a new integration
Click Add New Integration. You will choose a trigger (your form) and an action (SendFox).
Step 4: Choose Contact Form 7 as the trigger
Select “Contact Form 7” as the form provider, then pick the specific form you want to connect, such as your “Contact Us” form. The plugin reads that form’s fields automatically.
Step 5: Choose SendFox as the action
Select SendFox as the destination and choose the “Subscribe To List” action. This subscribes the contact to your SendFox account.
Step 6: Map your fields
Match each Contact Form 7 field to the corresponding SendFox field. You can also mix in static text and dynamic tags such as the submission date or a UTM campaign value.
Step 7: Add conditional logic (optional)
If you only want to send certain submissions, add a rule. For example, only send data when a specific field matches a value, so your email marketing stays clean.
Step 8: Save and test
Save the integration and submit a test entry on your form. The data appears in SendFox in real time. Every call is recorded in the activity log, so if a submission ever fails you can see exactly why.
Free vs Pro
The free version sends email, first name, and last name to SendFox with no limit on the number of submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping and create-or-update contact logic (dedup by email). Submissions stay unlimited on every plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to touch any code?
No. The whole setup is point and click, including the field mapping.
Will it slow down my forms?
No. The data is sent to SendFox in the background after submission, so the form itself stays fast.
Can I connect more than one form?
Yes. You can create as many integrations as you like, from different forms to different actions, all from one dashboard.
