How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Flamingo

Flamingo is a WordPress platform. Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin on WordPress, and Flamingo 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 Flamingo account.
