Introduction
If you’re using Contact Form 7 on your WordPress website and Systeme CRM to manage leads, manually copying every enquiry into your CRM quickly becomes inefficient. It wastes time, increases the risk of missing valuable prospects, and slows down your sales follow-up.
By integrating Contact Form 7 with Systeme CRM, every form submission is automatically sent to your CRM the moment a visitor completes your form. Your sales or marketing team can immediately view new contacts, start follow-up campaigns, assign leads, and keep customer information organized without any manual data entry.
Using the Contact Form to Any API plugin, you can connect Contact Form 7 to Systeme CRM without writing custom code. The plugin lets you authenticate with the Systeme API, map form fields to CRM fields, and send submissions securely through a direct API connection.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete setup process.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Systeme CRM Account
Log in to your Systeme CRM account using your credentials.
Keep this dashboard open, as you’ll need to generate an API key during the setup process.
Step 2: Open Your WordPress Dashboard
Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
Navigate to:
Contact Form to Any API → Add New Integration
This is where you’ll configure the connection between Contact Form 7 and Systeme CRM.
Step 3: Create a New Integration
Enter a name for your integration.
Example:
Systeme CRM Integration
Giving each integration a descriptive name makes it easier to manage multiple API connections later.
Step 4: Enter the Systeme CRM API Endpoint
In the API Endpoint URL field, enter the following endpoint:
https://api.systeme.io/api/contacts
This endpoint tells the plugin where to send new contact data.
Step 5: Generate Your Systeme CRM API Key
Now switch back to your Systeme CRM dashboard.
Go to Systeme CRM Dashboard -> Click on setting
Settings → MCP & API Keys
Then:
- Click Create Public Key
- Enter a name for the key
- Save the key
Copy the generated API token
You’ll use this token to authenticate requests from WordPress.
Step 6: Add the API Key to Request Headers
Go back to WordPress, Request Header -> Paste the copied URL in the “Request Headers” field
Once complete, click Next.
Step 7: Choose Systeme CRM as the Contact Form
Then select the specific Contact Form 7 form you want to connect with Systeme CRM.
Step 8: Map Contact Form Fields
In the JSON Payload section, map each Contact Form 7 field to its corresponding Systeme CRM field.
For example:
{
“FIRST_NAME”: “[your-name]”,
“LAST_NAME”: “[last-name]”,
“EMAIL_ADDRESS”: “[your-email]”,
“PHONE”: “[your-phone]”,
“ORGANISATION_NAME”: “[company]”,
“BACKGROUND”: “[your-message]”
}
Step 9: Test the Integration
Submit a test form from your website.
Then return to WordPress and review the API Logs inside the Contact Form to Any API plugin.
Verify that:
- The request was sent successfully
- The API returned a successful response
- The contact appears in your Systeme CRM account
If everything looks correct, your integration is ready to use.
