How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to SharpSpring

SharpSpring (now Constant Contact) is a marketing automation platform with email, CRM, and analytics.

If you want Contact Form 7 submissions in SharpSpring, 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?
