Mailjet is a collaborative email marketing platform with template editing, A/B testing, and real-time analytics.

If you are running Contact Form 7 and want to push submissions into Mailjet, you could use a third-party automation tool. Or you could do it directly from WordPress for free. This guide covers the direct route.

Why not just use Zapier?

For a single form-to-email marketing 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 Mailjet account.
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Mailjet to AFI

  1. Log in to your Mailjet account.
  2. Go to Account → API and copy your API Key and Secret Key.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailjet.
  4. Enter the API Key and Secret, 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 Mailjet.

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 Mailjet as the action

Select Mailjet from the platform dropdown, then pick Add Contact. This adds the contact to a chosen Mailjet list.

4. Map your fields

For each Mailjet 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 Mailjet lists.

6. Save and test

Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check Mailjet 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 name with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks custom field mapping. 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 Mailjet?

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

What happens if Mailjet 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 Mailjet in five minutes. No code, no Zapier, no per-task fees.
