Contact Form 7 Integration

Overview #

The Contact Form 7 integration allows you to trigger workflows when a Contact Form 7 form is submitted. The trigger works by hooking into Contact Form 7’s form submission process and capturing the submitted data.

Setup Instructions #

1. Create a Contact Form 7 form in the usual way through the WordPress admin panel
2. In your workflow, add a Trigger node
3. Select “Contact Form 7 Trigger” from the trigger type dropdown
4. Select your form from the dropdown list
5. Choose which form fields you want to access in your workflow
6. Fields will be available to subsequent nodes using the syntax: [[field_label] from cf7-node-id]

Technical Details #

• The integration uses the wpcf7_before_send_mail hook to capture form submissions
• Form IDs are in the format contact-form-{id}
• All field types are supported including:
  • Text fields
  • Email fields
  • Textareas
  • Checkboxes (values are comma-separated)
  • Radio buttons

Error Handling #
