How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to EngageBay

EngageBay is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Here is how to pipe Contact Form 7 submissions straight into EngageBay using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to EngageBay. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

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