How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Front

Front is a customer operations platform. Contact Form 7 is everywhere on WordPress. Front is where your data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or 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 Front account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Front to AFI

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

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Front as the destination

Choose Front and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Front.

4. Map fields

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

Free vs Pro

Free maps name and email with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees.
