Integrating Contact Form 7 and AI Sensi for Automated Messaging

To start automating WhatsApp messages, we first need to integrate AI Sensi with Contact Form 7. This integration will allow us to send personalized messages automatically upon receiving a new form submission. The goal is to enhance customer communication by sending instant responses to leads who fill out the contact form.

Using P Connect Now, we can set up this automation without any coding skills. The process involves creating a workflow that links these two applications, ensuring that every new form submission triggers the sending of a WhatsApp message through AI Sensi.

Setting Up P Connect Now for Workflow Creation

To create a workflow, open your browser and navigate to the P Connect Now website. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. New users receive 100 free tasks each month, making it easy to test the automation process.

• Sign in to your account.
• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start a new automation.
• Name your workflow based on its purpose, such as ‘Send WhatsApp Message on Contact Form 7 Submission’.

After naming your workflow, select the appropriate folder for organization. This initial setup is crucial for ensuring that your automation runs smoothly and efficiently.

Configuring Trigger and Action for the Workflow

The next step involves configuring the trigger and action for your workflow. The trigger will be a new form submission from Contact Form 7, while the action will be sending a WhatsApp message via AI Sensi. Start by searching for and selecting Contact Form 7 as your trigger application.

Once selected, set the trigger event to ‘New Form Submission’. This step is essential as it defines when the automation will be activated. After that, you will need to connect your Contact Form 7 with P Connect Now using a webhook URL, which acts as a bridge for data transfer.

• Install and activate the Contact Form 7 plugin in your WordPress account.
• Go to your form settings and enable the webhook option.
• Paste the webhook URL from P Connect into your Contact Form 7 settings.

After pasting the webhook URL, save the changes in Contact Form 7. This connection allows P Connect Now to receive data whenever a new lead submits the form.

Testing and Verifying the Integration

With the webhook set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Contact Form 7 and fill out the lead generation form with sample data. For instance, use the name ‘Michael Caris’ and a valid WhatsApp number to simulate a new lead submission.

After submitting the form, check your P Connect Now dashboard. You should see the response from the new form submission, confirming that the data has been successfully transmitted. This step is crucial for ensuring that the integration works as intended.

Verify that all fields from the form submission are displayed correctly in P Connect. Check for any errors or missing data in the response.

Once confirmed, proceed to set up the action to send a WhatsApp message using AI Sensi. This will complete the automation process, allowing you to send personalized messages to your leads instantly.

Sending Personalized Messages with AI Sensi

Now, to send personalized WhatsApp messages, you need to configure AI Sensi in your workflow. Start by selecting AI Sensi as the action application and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. This allows you to send predefined messages to your leads based on the data received from Contact Form 7.

To connect AI Sensi with P Connect Now, you will need an API key from your AI Sensi account. Navigate to the API Key section in your AI Sensi account to generate or retrieve this key. Once you have the API key, paste it into the connection settings in P Connect.

Create a new template message in AI Sensi that includes placeholders for lead details. Ensure the template is approved before using it in your campaign.

After setting up the template, map the lead details from the form submission to the message template. This ensures that each lead receives a personalized message with their name and relevant information.
