How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to The Events Calendar

The Events Calendar is a event management platform. If you want Contact Form 7 submissions in The Events Calendar, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

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 The Events Calendar account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
