Softr is a no-code apps platform. If you want Contact Form 7 submissions in Softr, 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 no-code apps, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
