Constant Contact is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Contact Form 7 is everywhere on WordPress. Constant Contact is where your data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

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

Connect Constant Contact to AFI

Constant Contact uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Constant Contact, 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 Constant Contact.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 and choose your form. Fields are detected automatically.

3. Select Constant Contact as the destination

Choose Constant Contact and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Constant Contact.

4. Map fields

Match each Constant Contact field to the corresponding Contact Form 7 field. Smart tags like {{_submission_date}} are available.

5. Add conditions if needed

Send only specific submissions based on conditional rules.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Submit a test form and verify in Constant Contact. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro

Free maps email, first name, and last name with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees.
