## Description

The Zoho Leads integration for Contact Form 7 plugin allows existing CF7 users to

automatically create Zoho Leads entries on form submission. When a user enters their
information into a CF7 form and hits submit, this plugin will forward their information
to Zoho Leads as well as let CF7 continue its form submission process. Note – This
plugin is developed, maintained, and supported by an independent developer. The 
developer has no affiliation with Contact Form 7 or Zoho.

#### Zoho Leads integration

This plugin interacts with the third-party Zoho CRM API (Application Programming
Interface)
 in order to create new Leads. This is a public web service provided 
by Zoho and additional information can be found [here](https://www.zoho.com/crm/help/api/).

### Features

 * Easy CF7 to Zoho Leads field mapping
 * Convenient, intuitive shortcode
 * Lead Source is the title of the CF7 form
 * Seamless integration and no change to contact form flow

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin and unzip to your wp-content/plugins directory
 2. Alternatively, just upload the zip file via the WordPress plugins UI
 3. Activate plugin via WordPress admin
 4. Include the following shortcode on your page or post

#### Shortcode usage

    ```
    [cf7lead cf7_id="[CF7_Form_ID]"]
    ```

Replace _[CF7\_Form\_ID]_ with the ID of your CF7 form.

If you’re having issues with the plugin, please set the
 shortcode “debug” option
to “true”. This will allow the plugin to show debug / error messages to the page(
do not use on production systems as the messages will be public).

    ```
    [cf7lead cf7_id="[CF7_Form_ID]" debug="true"]
    ```

#### CF7 to Zoho Leads mapping

By default, the current field mapping looks like this –

 * _CF7 -> Zoho Leads_
 * company -> Company
 * first-name -> First Name
 * last-name -> Last Name
 * email -> Email
 * phone -> Phone
 * title -> Title

For a list of Zoho Leads fields, please check out the [Zoho Leads docs](https://www.zoho.com/crm/help/api/insertrecords.html#Insert_records_into_Zoho_CRM_from_third-party_applications)
for more info.

To change the field name mapping, use the shortcode’s “fields” attribute.
 This 
is a ‘|’ (pipe) separated list of ‘=’ (equal) separated strings. For instance, _fields
=”Company=company|First Name=first-name|Last Name=”_ is a valid fields string to
use. It says to map the Zoho Leads field “Company” to the CF7 field “company” (everything
here is case sensitive), the Zoho Leads field “First Name” to “first-name”, and 
to not map “Last Name” to anything (which means that the Zoho Lead field “Last Name”
will have no value).

 [abiruth](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abiruth1980/) December 22, 2017

I'm guessing zoho has changed as the plugin now acts to stop all contact form 7 
submissions across the site.

 [Augusto](https://profiles.wordpress.org/guto182/) December 6, 2017

This plugin works perfectly integrating with Zoho Leads. It's important to configure
it correctly to get it working once, there are some fields in Zoho Leads that are
mandatory.

 [latro666](https://profiles.wordpress.org/latro666/) October 17, 2017

Followed the authors steps, the shortcode renders the form but submission spins 
and spins worse normal contact form 7 forms experienced the same thing – effecly
breaking every form on the site. Issue only resolved after completely deleting this
plugin. Suggest its avoided in current state of development.

 [maxcorbeau](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maxcorbeau/) August 1, 2017

Don't forget to edit the plugin files and replace zoho.com with zoho.eu for all 
zoho API Urls if your account is in the EU region.
