How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to lemlist

lemlist is a cold email outreach platform known for its personalization features and high deliverability rates.

Contact Form 7 sends email, but it does not send data to lemlist. That gap is what Advanced Form Integration fills. Here is how to wire them together in about five minutes.

Why connect directly?

Third-party automation tools charge per task and route your data through their servers. Advanced Form Integration runs entirely on your WordPress site. No per-task fees, no external dependencies, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

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

Connect lemlist to AFI

1. Log in to your lemlist account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → lemlist.
4. Paste the API Key and 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 lemlist.

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 lemlist as the action

Select lemlist from the platform dropdown, then pick Add Lead. This adds a lead to your lemlist campaign.

4. Map your fields

For each lemlist 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 lemlist lists.

6. Save and test

Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check lemlist 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 email and first name with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks custom field mapping and campaign selection. 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 lemlist?

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

What happens if lemlist is temporarily unavailable?

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