What’s new in CF7 Autoresponder Addon 2.5

What it does
Contact Form 7 sends inquiry emails when someone submits a form, and the data stops there. If you run an email list, you then have to copy each contact into your marketing service by hand. This addon closes that gap. It connects your existing forms to autoresponder and email marketing platforms such as AWeber, Mailchimp, GetResponse, iContact, Constant Contact, Vertical Response and Campaign Monitor, so new contacts go straight into your campaigns and receive your follow-up emails.
It also keeps every submission inside the WordPress admin, which gives you a central record of inquiries and a backup if something goes wrong elsewhere. You can export that lead data in Excel format for offline work or reporting. Since it works with the forms you already built, there is no need to start over. For sites without Contact Form 7 forms in place, four drag-and-drop widgets let you add simple lead capture forms.
Best for
- Small businesses growing an email list from contact forms
- Sites using Contact Form 7 with Mailchimp or AWeber
- Freelancers setting up lead capture for client sites
