The When new form submission is received in Contact Form 7, submit the form submission to Pabbly Connect workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Contact Form 7, Pabbly Connect — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

If your automations already live in Pabbly Connect, you still need a way to get Contact Form 7 submissions out of WordPress and into Pabbly. FlowMattic closes that gap. FlowMattic catches each submission on your site and forwards the fields to Pabbly Connect.

The Contact Form 7 trigger fires when a visitor submits a form. FlowMattic receives every field from that form and makes them available for mapping. The second step uses the Submit Data action of Pabbly Connect, which sends the values you map to a Pabbly Connect webhook as a POST request in JSON format.

From there, the workflow you build in Pabbly Connect decides what happens. Set up a Pabbly workflow with a webhook trigger first, so you have a URL to send to. Every submission runs once, and Task History in FlowMattic shows what was sent, which helps when you compare it with what Pabbly received.

Keeping existing Pabbly workflows

Your lead routing already runs in Pabbly Connect. Contact Form 7 enquiries now feed it without rebuilding those steps in another tool.

One Pabbly workflow for several sites

Each of your WordPress sites sends its Contact Form 7 entries to the same Pabbly webhook, so one Pabbly workflow handles them all.

Agency handing data to a client's Pabbly account

You build the site, and the client's team manages their own Pabbly Connect workflows. This template hands every form entry to them.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Make the email field required in the form with email* in its tag, so Pabbly Connect always receives an address with the submission.
Submit the form once after import, then check both Task History in FlowMattic and the webhook trigger in Pabbly Connect to confirm the data arrived.
Add a Filter after the trigger if only some submissions should go to Pabbly, for example ones where a chosen dropdown field equals a set value.

Questions about this workflow

Do I need a Pabbly Connect workflow ready before I import this?

Yes. The Submit Data step sends to a Pabbly Connect webhook URL, which you get by creating a Pabbly workflow with a webhook trigger.

Does Contact Form 7 still send its usual email?

Yes. FlowMattic only listens for the submission. Your Contact Form 7 mail settings work as before.

Which Contact Form 7 forms trigger the workflow?

Check the trigger step after import. If it applies to every form on your site and you only want one, add a Filter on a value that identifies that form.

Can I send Contact Form 7 data to Pabbly and another app at once?

Yes. Add more action steps after the Pabbly Connect step and map the same form fields into them.
