How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Mailcoach

Mailcoach is a self-hostable email marketing platform that integrates with Amazon SES and other SMTP providers.

Getting Contact Form 7 data into Mailcoach does not require Zapier or custom PHP. Advanced Form Integration handles the connection natively, and this guide covers every step.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than sending form data through Zapier or Make, AFI delivers it straight from WordPress to Mailcoach. 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 Mailcoach account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Mailcoach to AFI

1. Log in to your Mailcoach account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Token.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailcoach.
4. Paste the API Token and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it something like CF7 to Mailcoach.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Mailcoach as the destination

Choose Mailcoach from the dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to a Mailcoach list.

4. Map fields

Match each Mailcoach field to the corresponding Contact Form 7 field. Smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}} are also available.

5. Add conditions if needed

Set up conditional rules to send only specific submissions based on form field values.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Submit a test form and verify the data arrived in Mailcoach. Check AFI → Log to debug any issues.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email and name to Mailcoach with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
