How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Events Manager

Events Manager is a event management platform. Every Contact Form 7 submission should flow into Events Manager without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Events Manager. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

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

Connect Events Manager to AFI

Events Manager uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Events Manager, 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 Events Manager.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Events Manager as the destination

Choose Events Manager and pick Add Event. This creates an event in Events Manager.

4. Map fields

Match each Events Manager 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 Events Manager. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro

Free maps title, date, and description with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees.
