How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Tidio

Tidio is a live chat platform. Form submissions can trigger instant notifications. Every Contact Form 7 submission should flow into Tidio without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Tidio. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

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

Connect Tidio to AFI

1. Log in to your Tidio account.
2. Copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Tidio.
