Adding Script to Your Contact 7 Form in Wordpress

Chad Allard
  • Updated

Using Contact 7 forms in Wordpress is quite easy and can be done with one script.

The reason we use a custom script for this implementation is because Contact 7 does validation of the form fields (eg, confirming the email address is valid), and we want this to happen before Chili Piper shows a calendar. 

Add this script to your Contact 7 page

Contact 7 provides several other DOM event messages, in case you want to trigger Chili Piper at a different time. For more information on this, check out their article here. 

In the code below, we are using "wpcf7mailsent" because this means that the form submitted successfully, and an email was sent successfully. 

<script src="https://js.chilipiper.com/marketing.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var wpcf7Elm = document.querySelector('.wpcf7');
wpcf7Elm.addEventListener('wpcf7mailsent', function(e){
   ChiliPiper.submit("account_domain", "router_name", { map:true })
}, false); 
</script>

Using the above code, be sure to replace "account_domain" and "router_name" with their respective values from the Inbound Router's embed section, but remember we are otherwise replacing this code!

Troubleshooting

Should the Chili Piper code not run and throw an error in the console:

Then trying the example code below may help resolve this issue

<script src="https://js.chilipiper.com/marketing.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var wpcf7Elm = document.querySelector('.wpcf7-form');
wpcf7Elm.addEventListener('wpcf7mailsent', function(e){
   ChiliPiper.submit("account_domain", "router_name", { map:true })
}, false); 
</script>
