What this workflow does
Mailbluster is where your email campaigns go out, but the people who fill in your Contact Form 7 forms don't get there on their own. Exporting submissions and importing them in batches leaves gaps. This workflow passes each submitter to Mailbluster as a lead.
The Contact Form 7 trigger fires when a visitor submits the form you choose on your WordPress site. FlowMattic then runs Create a New Lead in Mailbluster. You map the email field from the form into the lead, along with any name fields you ask for.
Each submission makes one call to Mailbluster. Check how Mailbluster treats an address it already has by sending a test with an existing lead, and look at the response in Task History. That log also shows every submission the workflow passed on.

Product waitlist
Visitors join a waitlist through a short form. Mailbluster holds the list so you can email everyone when the product opens.

- Mailbluster AccountAccount
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.
- Require the email field in Contact Form 7 with the email* tag so every lead sent to Mailbluster has an address.
- If the form has a newsletter checkbox, add a Filter after the trigger so only people who ticked it become Mailbluster leads.
- Clone the workflow for each extra Contact Form 7 form you want feeding Mailbluster, and pick that form in the copy's trigger.
Questions about this workflow
What if the email is already a lead in Mailbluster?
That depends on how Mailbluster handles an existing address for Create a New Lead. Test with an address you already have and check the response in Task History.
Do I need anything besides Contact Form 7 and Mailbluster?
Contact Form 7 on the same WordPress site as FlowMattic, and a Mailbluster account to connect in the second step.
Are past Contact Form 7 entries sent to Mailbluster?
No. Contact Form 7 does not store submissions by default, and the trigger only reacts to new ones made after the workflow is on.
