How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Nimble

Nimble is a social CRM that pulls contact details from social networks and email into one place.

Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin on WordPress, and Nimble is where that data needs to land. Here is how to connect the two without writing code.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI runs entirely on your WordPress site, with no task limits, no monthly fees, and every request logged.

What you will need

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

Connect Nimble to AFI

1. Log in to your Nimble account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Token.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Nimble.
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 Nimble.

2. Pick your trigger

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

3. Select Nimble as the destination

Choose Nimble from the dropdown and pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Nimble.

4. Map fields

Match each Nimble 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 Nimble. Check AFI → Log to debug any issues.

Free vs Pro

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

Frequently asked questions
