How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Knack

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

Skip the automation middleman

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

What you will need

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

Connect Knack to AFI

1. Log in to your Knack account.
2. Copy your App ID and API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Knack.
4. Enter the credentials and click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it CF7 to Knack.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Knack as the destination

Choose Knack and pick Add Record. This creates a record in a Knack app.

4. Map fields

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

Free vs Pro

Free maps standard app fields with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees.
