How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Microsoft Dataverse
Microsoft Dataverse is a database platform. Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin on WordPress, and Microsoft Dataverse is where that data needs to land. Here is how to connect the two without writing 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 Microsoft Dataverse account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Microsoft Dataverse to AFI
Microsoft Dataverse uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Microsoft Dataverse, 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 Microsoft Dataverse.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Contact Form 7 and choose your form. Fields are detected automatically.
3. Select Microsoft Dataverse as the destination
Choose Microsoft Dataverse and pick Add Row. This creates a row in a Dataverse table.
4. Map fields
Match each Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse. Check AFI → Log if needed.
Free vs Pro
Free maps standard table fields with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping for all columns. No per-submission fees.
