MailUp is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. If you want Contact Form 7 submissions in MailUp, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why not just use Zapier?

For connecting Contact Form 7 to email marketing, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.

What you will need

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