Deputy is a workforce management platform. Getting Contact Form 7 data into Deputy does not require external tools. Advanced Form Integration handles it natively, and this guide covers every step.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Deputy. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, 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 Deputy account.
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Deputy to AFI

Deputy uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Deputy, 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 Deputy.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Deputy as the destination

Choose Deputy and pick Add Employee. This creates an employee in Deputy.

4. Map fields

Match each Deputy 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 Deputy. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro

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