Redirection for CF7 PRO

Coordinate actions after a Contact Form 7 submission

Redirection for CF7 PRO adds actions for handling what follows a form submission. Choose actions in the form's Action tab to direct users, store entries, send notifications or connect form data to other services. Each form can use actions suited to its follow-up process.

Redirects, entries and data requests

• Redirect visitors: Send people to a page or URL, open the destination in a new tab, and pass submitted fields as URL query parameters.
• Store entries: Save submissions in the WordPress database for later reference.
• Send email notifications: Add email notifications to a form's submission actions.
• Reduce spam: Use honeypot protection without asking visitors to complete an extra challenge.
• Handle personal data requests: Create requests to export or erase personal data for GDPR-related workflows.

Conditional actions and integrations

Conditional logic uses If/Or rules based on submitted information, so actions can follow various paths according to a user's answers. JavaScript can run after a successful submission for tasks such as conversion tracking and analytics.

Webhook actions connect forms to third-party applications using POST, GET, DELETE or PATCH methods. They support PARAMS, JSON and XML formats. Form fields can also be used to generate and send PDFs, and frontend publishing lets visitors publish posts from the site. A thank-you popup can appear after submission.

Connected services

• Register submitted forms with Mailchimp lists.
• Redirect visitors to PayPal or Stripe for payments.
• Send submissions to HubSpot CRM or Salesforce CRM.
• Use Twilio to send SMS messages to customers or notifications to your team.

These actions can support workflows such as sending donors to thank-you pages based on their responses, directing real estate inquiries to relevant pages, managing support follow-up in a CRM, or creating PDFs from submitted details.

Setup

Install and activate the extension, open the required form's options, select the Action tab and add the actions for that workflow. Contact Form 7 version 4.8 or later is required. Configure each action, then test the submission path, including redirects, notifications, connected services and generated documents.
