How to Send Contact Form 7 Submissions to Pushover
Pushover turns form submissions into instant push notifications on your phone or desktop. It is perfect for time-sensitive forms like support requests or lead alerts.
Contact Form 7 sends email, but it does not send data to Pushover. That gap is what Advanced Form Integration fills. Here is how to wire them together in about five minutes.
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 Pushover account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Pushover to AFI
- Sign up for a Pushover account.
- Create an application to get your API Token.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Pushover.
- Enter your User Key and API Token, 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 Pushover.
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 Pushover as the action
Select Pushover from the platform dropdown, then pick Send Notification. This sends a push notification to your devices.
4. Map your fields
For each Pushover 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 Pushover lists.
6. Save and test
Hit Save Integration. Submit a test entry on your Contact Form 7 form. Check Pushover 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 message title and body text with unlimited submissions. The Pro upgrade unlocks device selection and priority settings. 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 Pushover?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form. You can also send one form to multiple platforms by stacking integrations.
What happens if Pushover is temporarily unavailable?
AFI queues the data in the background and retries. You can also manually resend from the log if needed.
