How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Agile CRM
Contact Form 7 is the most-installed form plugin on WordPress, and Agile CRM is a popular CRM tool. The problem is that Contact Form 7 has no built-in way to send submissions anywhere. The usual fix is Zapier, but that means a monthly subscription, a per-task meter, and your data routed through a third-party cloud.
This guide shows you how to connect Contact Form 7 to Agile CRM directly from WordPress, with no code and no per-task fees. Every form submission is sent automatically.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Contact Form 7 installed and at least one form created.
- A Agile CRM account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin installed and activated.
Connect your Agile CRM account
- Log in to your Agile CRM account.
- Go to Admin → API and copy your API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Agile CRM.
- Enter your domain and API Key, then click Save Changes.
Step-by-step: Contact Form 7 to Agile CRM
Step 1: Install Advanced Form Integration
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New, search for “Advanced Form Integration,” install it, and activate it.
Step 2: Connect Agile CRM
Open Advanced Form Integration in the admin menu and go to Settings to connect your Agile CRM account. Follow the steps above to save your credentials. This is a one-time step.
Step 3: Create a new integration
Click Add New Integration. You will choose a trigger (your form) and an action.
Step 4: Choose Contact Form 7 as the trigger
Select “Contact Form 7” as the form provider, then pick the specific form you want to connect. The plugin reads that form’s fields automatically.
Step 5: Choose Agile CRM as the action
Select Agile CRM as the destination and choose the “Add Contact” action. This creates a contact in Agile CRM.
Step 6: Map your fields
Match each Contact Form 7 field to the corresponding Agile CRM field. You can also mix in static text and dynamic tags such as the submission date or a UTM campaign value.
Step 7: Add conditional logic (optional)
If you only want to send certain submissions, add a rule. For example, only send data when a specific field matches a value.
Step 8: Save and test
Save the integration and submit a test entry on your form. The data appears in Agile CRM in real time. Every call is recorded in the activity log, so if a submission ever fails you can see exactly why.
Free vs Pro
The free version sends email, first name, and last name to Agile CRM with no limit on the number of submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping and tags. Submissions stay unlimited on every plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to touch any code?
No. The whole setup is point and click, including the field mapping.
Will it slow down my forms?
No. The data is sent to Agile CRM in the background after submission, so the form itself stays fast.
Can I connect more than one form?
Yes. You can create as many integrations as you like, from different forms to different actions, all from one dashboard.
