How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Google Drive

Google Drive is a file storage platform. Every Contact Form 7 submission should flow into Google Drive without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

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

Connect Google Drive to AFI

Google Drive uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Google Drive, 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 Google Drive.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Google Drive as the destination

Choose Google Drive and pick Upload File. This uploads a file to Google Drive.

4. Map fields

Match each Google Drive 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 Google Drive. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro

Free maps file content and filename with unlimited submissions. Pro adds folder selection. No per-submission fees.
