The Contact Form 7 plugin is widely used on WordPress to simplify the creation and organization of contact forms on a website. It offers a straightforward and adaptable solution for embedding contact forms onto any webpage or post. If you desire to combine your Contact Form 7 submissions with AWeber, an email marketing tool, you can utilize the Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps of configuring and utilizing the Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension to effortlessly connect your contact forms with your AWeber account.
Installing the Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension
The first step is to install and activate the Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension plugin. You can do this by navigating to the Plugins section in your WordPress dashboard and searching for “Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension”. Once you find the plugin, click on “Install Now” and then “Activate”.
Connecting Your AWeber Account
Once the plugin is activated, you will need to connect your AWeber account to the Contact Form 7 AWeber Extension. To do this, go to the Contact > AWeber section in your WordPress dashboard. You will see a form where you can enter your AWeber API credentials.

Integrating Contact Form 7 with AWeber
Now that your AWeber account is connected, you can start integrating Contact Form 7 with AWeber. Open the Contact Form 7 editor for the form you want to connect to AWeber. In the “Additional Settings” tab, add the following code:
aweber aweber-username="YOUR_AWEBER_USERNAME" aweber-list-id="YOUR_AWEBER_LIST_ID"
Replace “YOUR_AWEBER_USERNAME” with your AWeber username and “YOUR_AWEBER_LIST_ID” with the ID of the AWeber list you want to add subscribers to. Save your changes.
Now, whenever a user submits the Contact Form 7 form, their information will be automatically added to your AWeber list. This integration allows you to easily follow up with leads and subscribers through AWeber’s email marketing tools.
