Mautic is an open-source marketing automation platform you can self-host. It handles email campaigns, lead scoring, and landing pages.

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

Skip the automation middleman

You could route form data through an external automation service, paying per submission. Or you could send it directly. Advanced Form Integration processes everything on your server, with no task limits and a full audit log.

What you will need

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

Connect Mautic to AFI

  1. Log in to your Mautic instance.
  2. Go to Settings → API and enable the API.
  3. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Client ID and Client Secret).
  4. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mautic and enter the credentials.

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 Mautic.

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 Mautic as the action

Select Mautic from the platform dropdown, then pick Add Contact. This creates or updates a contact in Mautic.

4. Map your fields

For each Mautic 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 Mautic lists.

6. Save and test

Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check Mautic 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, first name, and last name with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks custom field mapping and segment assignment. 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 Mautic?

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

What happens if Mautic is temporarily unavailable?

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