Copper (formerly ProsperWorks) is a CRM built for Google Workspace users. It integrates deeply with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive.

Getting Contact Form 7 data into Copper does not require Zapier, webhooks, or custom PHP. Advanced Form Integration handles the connection natively, and this guide shows every step.

Why not just use Zapier?

For a single form-to-CRM connection on WordPress, a general automation cloud is more cost and more moving parts than you need. Advanced Form Integration runs on your own site, so there is no task meter, no monthly bill that grows with your traffic, and your data does not pass through an outside service.

What you will need

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

Connect Copper to AFI

  1. Log in to your Copper account.
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations → API and copy your API Key.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Copper CRM.
  4. Paste the API Key and email, then click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Give it a name that helps you identify it later, like Contact Form to Copper.

2. Choose your trigger

Select Contact Form 7 as the form provider. Pick the specific form you want to connect. AFI reads the form fields automatically.

3. Choose Copper as the action

Select Copper from the platform dropdown, then pick Add Contact. This creates a contact in Copper with name, email, and phone.

4. Map your fields

For each Copper field on the left, choose the matching Contact Form 7 field on the right. Map email to email, name to name, and so on. You can also add static text or dynamic tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Want to send only certain submissions? Add a conditional logic rule. For example, only create a contact when the form includes a valid email address, or route different form values to different Copper lists.

6. Save and test

Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check Copper to confirm the data arrived. If something is off, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version handles name, email, and phone with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks custom field mapping and tags. There are no per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Will this slow down my Contact Form 7 form?

No. AFI processes the data asynchronously after the form submission completes. The visitor sees the normal success message with no delay.

Can I connect multiple forms to Copper?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form. You can also send one form to multiple platforms by stacking integrations.

What happens if Copper is temporarily unavailable?

AFI queues the data in the background and retries. You can also manually resend from the log if needed.

Get started

Install Advanced Form Integration free from WordPress.org and connect Contact Form 7 to Copper in five minutes. No code, no Zapier, no per-task fees.
