Connect Contact Form 7 and FluentCRM

Contact Form 7 sends an email and forgets the submission. FlowMattic keeps it: each enquiry becomes a FluentCRM contact on the same WordPress site, with the message saved as a note, the right tags and lists, and a sequence started if you want one. It is for site owners who use Contact Form 7 for enquiries and FluentCRM for follow-up email.

Contact Form 7 and FluentCRM workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Create or update a FluentCRM contact for every submission

Name and email from each form go into FluentCRM. Someone who writes twice keeps one contact record instead of two.

Keep the enquiry text as a note on the contact

The subject and message are added as a contact note, so whoever replies later sees what the person first asked without searching an inbox.

Put contacts on a list based on the topic they picked

A Router reads the form's subject dropdown and adds the contact to a Sales, Support or Partnerships list, so each team works its own segment.

Start a follow-up sequence for quote requests

Contacts from your quote form are tagged and enrolled in a short email sequence that explains pricing and next steps while you prepare the quote.

Send a branded auto-reply from a FluentCRM template

Instead of Contact Form 7's plain mail, Send Email by Template sends your designed FluentCRM email, which looks like the rest of your newsletters.

Link business enquiries to a company record

For B2B forms with a company field, FlowMattic creates or updates the company and assigns the contact to it, so several people from one firm sit together.

Handle an unsubscribe form on your site

A simple Contact Form 7 form asks for an email. FlowMattic finds the contact and sets them to unsubscribed, which helps people who lost the link in your emails.

Set up: a contact for every submission

At the end, each Contact Form 7 submission creates or updates a contact in FluentCRM.

  1. Choose New Form Submission

    Start a workflow with the Contact Form 7 New Form Submission trigger and pick your form. Both plugins run on your WordPress site, so neither needs an account.

  2. Capture a test entry

    Submit the form once on your site so FlowMattic captures its fields, named after the form's mail tags.

  3. Add Create or Update Contact

    Add a FluentCRM step with Create or Update Contact and map the name and email fields.

  4. Pick lists, tags and status

    Choose any list or tag to apply and the contact status, then test the step and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Contact Form 7 does not save submissions in WordPress on its own, so the FluentCRM contact and note become your record of the enquiry.
  • The field names above are the default form's mail tags. Rename them in the mapping if your form uses its own tags.
  • The workflows on this page run from the form into FluentCRM, so FluentCRM triggers do not send anything back to a form. They work with other apps instead.
  • Only mark contacts as subscribed when the form asked for consent, for example with an acceptance checkbox.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Contact Form 7 and FluentCRM connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Both plugins, one site

Form data moves between two plugins on the same WordPress install. Nothing passes through an outside service.

Unlimited contacts, unlimited runs

FlowMattic does not count tasks, so a busy contact page costs the same as a quiet one.

More than a new contact

With over 50 FluentCRM actions, one submission can add a note, a company, a sequence or a status change in the same workflow.

Common questions

Can different Contact Form 7 forms go to different FluentCRM lists?

Yes. Build one workflow per form and choose the list and tags in each Create or Update Contact step, so the newsletter form, the quote form and the support form each feed their own segment.

Will a second submission create a duplicate contact?

Not with Create or Update Contact. It matches by email, so the existing contact is updated and any new tags or notes are added to the same record.

Can I split a single name field into first and last name?

Yes. Add a Text Formatter step before FluentCRM to split the your-name field at the first space, then map the two parts separately.

Can I also keep a copy of submissions in a spreadsheet?

Yes. The library has a template for this pair that creates the FluentCRM contact and adds a Google Sheets row in the same workflow.
