How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Sendy

Sendy is a self-hosted email newsletter application that uses Amazon SES for low-cost delivery.

Every Contact Form 7 submission should flow into Sendy without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers form data straight from WordPress to Sendy. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect Sendy to AFI

1. Log in to your Sendy installation.
2. Copy your API Key from the settings.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Sendy.

Setting up the integration

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

Send only specific submissions based on conditional rules.
