How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Dynamics 365
Dynamics 365 is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin on WordPress, and Dynamics 365 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 Dynamics 365 account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
