What you will need

• A WordPress site with Contact Form 7 installed and at least one form.

Zoho Desk uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Zoho Desk, 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. Name it CF7 to Zoho Desk.

Send only specific submissions based on conditional rules.
