How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Kartra

Kartra is an all-in-one marketing platform with pages, emails, memberships, and checkout in one tool.

Every time a visitor submits your Contact Form 7 form, that data should flow into Kartra automatically. No copy-paste, no manual export. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Why connect directly?

Third-party automation services add cost and complexity. AFI runs entirely on your server, with no task limits, no monthly fees, and every request logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect Kartra to AFI

1. Log in to your Kartra account.
2. Go to My Profile → API and copy your API Key and Password.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Kartra.
4. Enter the API Key and Password, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it something recognizable, like CF7 to Kartra.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 and choose the specific form. AFI reads the form fields automatically.

3. Select Kartra as the destination

Choose Kartra from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This adds a lead to your Kartra account.

4. Map fields

Match each Kartra field to the corresponding Contact Form 7 field. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Submit a test entry and confirm the data arrived in Kartra. Check AFI → Log if anything needs debugging.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email, first name, and last name to Kartra with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping and tag assignment. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to Kartra in the background after submission completes.

Can I connect multiple forms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
