This plugin allows you to add a Pardot/Salesforce Form Handler on a form by form basis. After the form has been successfully submitted, the values of the fields will be sent to your provided Pardot Form Handler URL.

The main advantage of this plugin is that the submission will be done directly from the browser of your visitor. This will retain all the tracking info and adds the form submission to the track record in Pardot. This will improve your insights about the visitor, even before the form submission took place.

I connected the form handler URL but submissions are not coming through, what’s wrong?

Please make sure you map the IDs of the form tags from ContactForm7 with the form handler in Pardot. Double-check you made no mistakes (case sensitive). Another common issue: please do not mark any fields as required in the form handler (besides the email address). If a field is marked as required and missing from the form or query, the submission will be ignored by Pardot. So better to miss 1 value instead of the whole submission.

I want to send a different value to Pardot then the one shown in the form, how do I do this?

ContactForm7 supports pipes to define a different value to be used in emails as on the front-end. This plugin extends on that feature and can use the raw value after the pipe character as the value for Pardot. Just add the attribute use-raw-values to your form tag. Please use with care: this will reveal the raw values to the public. These pipe values can be used for drop down menus, radio buttons and checkboxes.

The implementation is still not working, what can be the cause?

Please make sure to match the HTTP/HTTPS protocol of the form handler with your website. If your website uses a secure connection over HTTPS your form handler should use that too in order to work.

Why are some submissions not coming through?

This can be caused by an adblocker or tracking blocker used by the visitor of your website. To minify the chances of this to happen, please use a custom tracker domain for your Pardot links.

What is this Pardot you are talking about?
