How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Todoist

Todoist is a task management platform. Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin on WordPress, and Todoist is where that data needs to land. Here is how to connect the two without writing code.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Contact Form 7 to task management, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

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

Connect Todoist to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Todoist as the destination

Choose Todoist and pick Create Task. This creates a task in Todoist.

4. Map fields

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

Free vs Pro

Free maps title and description with unlimited submissions. Pro adds project selection. No per-submission fees.
