The Easiest Way to Integrate Contact Form 7 with HubSpot or Salesforce

If you use Contact Form 7 on your WordPress site and want to send leads directly to HubSpot or Salesforce, you're not alone. Many businesses rely on these CRMs to manage customer relationships, and integrating your website forms with them can save time, reduce manual data entry, and ensure no lead slips through the cracks.
However, the default Contact Form 7 plugin doesn’t offer native integration with CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce. So how do you make it work — without spending hours on development or third-party automation tools?
The Solution: Use ContactFormToAPI.com
ContactFormToAPI offers the simplest no-code solution to connect Contact Form 7 with HubSpot or Salesforce — securely and in minutes.
Why Integrate Contact Form 7 with HubSpot or Salesforce?
Before diving into the “how,” let’s explore why this integration matters:
- Real-time lead capture – Send form data instantly to your CRM.
- Automation-ready – Trigger workflows, auto-responders, or sales pipelines.

- Plugin-free (no extra bloat on your WordPress site)
- No-code (perfect for marketers or non-developers)
- Fast (set up in under 5 minutes)

Step-by-Step: Integrate Contact Form 7 with HubSpot or Salesforce
Here’s how you can connect Contact Form 7 to either CRM using ContactFormToAPI:
Step 1: Install Contact Form 7
Make sure you have the plugin installed and a form created. Note down the form field names (e.g., your-name, your-email).
Step 2: Create Your API Endpoint
- For HubSpot, generate a Form Submission API.
- For Salesforce, use the Web-to-Lead endpoint or REST API with authentication.
Step 3: Set Up ContactFormToAPI
- Go to ContactFormToAPI.com
- Create a free account.
- Add a new form integration and paste your form's API endpoint.
- Map your Contact Form 7 field names to the CRM field names.
- Choose a delivery method (JSON, URL-encoded, etc.)
Step 4: Add the Webhook URL to Your WordPress Site
In your Contact Form 7 settings, add the ContactFormToAPI-provided URL to the additional settings tab:
on_sent_ok: "location.replace('https://yourwebhook.contactformtoapi.com/...');"
- Or use the ContactFormToAPI WordPress integration script if preferred.
Step 5: Test and Go Live
Submit a test form and check your HubSpot or Salesforce dashboard. If everything's mapped correctly, your data should appear instantly!
Why Not Just Use Zapier?
Tools like Zapier work — but they come with monthly subscription fees, rate limits, and less control over data formats. Plus, many free tiers don’t support advanced CRM integration.
ContactFormToAPI, by contrast, gives you:
- Unlimited flexibility.
- One-time setup.
- Direct form-to-CRM connection — no middleman.
Use Cases
- Marketing Teams – Capture leads and route them into workflows.
- Sales Teams – Assign leads instantly to team members.
- Support Teams – Create cases or tickets directly from website forms.
This approach scales well with agency websites, SaaS platforms, or small businesses looking for a cost-effective automation strategy.
