How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Zapier

Zapier is a automation platform. Here is how to pipe Contact Form 7 submissions straight into Zapier using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Zapier. 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 Zapier account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Zapier to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Zapier as the destination

Choose Zapier and pick Send Webhook. This triggers a Zapier webhook.

4. Map fields

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

Free vs Pro

Free maps any JSON payload with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees.
