Workable is a recruiting platform. If you want Contact Form 7 submissions in Workable, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

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

Connect Workable to AFI

Workable uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Workable, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

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

2. Pick your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 and choose your form. Fields are detected automatically.

3. Select Workable as the destination

Choose Workable and pick Add Candidate. This adds a candidate in Workable.

4. Map fields

Match each Workable field to the corresponding Contact Form 7 field. Smart tags like {{_submission_date}} are available.

5. Add conditions if needed

Send only specific submissions based on conditional rules.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Submit a test form and verify in Workable. Check AFI → Log if needed.

Free vs Pro
