Style Contact Form 7. Add multi-step forms, conditional logic and a submissions database. 100% free.
CF7 Mate is a free add-on for Contact Form 7. It makes your forms look good and do more.

All features are free on unlimited sites. No Pro version. No license key.

🤖 Build forms with ChatGPT or Claude
Saddle is a free plugin. It connects ChatGPT, Claude and other AI apps to your site. Then you can build forms just by asking.
- Install Saddle and connect your AI app.
- In Saddle, turn on the CF7 Mate integration. Give the app Edit content access.
- Ask for a form. For example: “Create a quote form with name, email, budget and project details.”
Good to know:
- The app can find, read, create and edit forms.
- It cannot see responses or AI keys, and it never sends test submissions.
- Check each form and its Mail tab before you use it.
- It needs WordPress 6.9 or later.
- CF7 Mate never installs or connects Saddle for you. The AI app uses its own account, not your CF7 Mate AI key.

⚙️ Settings
Turn features on or off in Contact > CF7 Mate. Add AI keys and webhook URLs under Tools.
On new sites, Form responses, Analytics, Webhooks and Save and continue start turned off. Sites updated from Pro keep their settings. Updates never delete your data.
Analytics only counts submissions saved by Form responses, so treat its numbers as estimates.
🔒 Privacy
CF7 Mate does not check a license. It sends no usage data to PlugPress. Updates come from WordPress.org.
- Form responses are saved in your database. Each one stores the form fields, the visitor’s IP address and browser details.
- Save and continue keeps progress for seven days in WordPress transients. The visitor’s browser keeps a random key in local storage.
- Webhooks send each submission as JSON to the URLs you add. This includes the form ID and title, time, fields, IP address and browser details. Nothing is sent until you turn on webhooks and add a URL. The Test button sends sample data from your browser.
- Images in a form load from where they are hosted. Use images from your own site to avoid outside requests.
You decide the privacy notice, consent and data retention for your site.
🔌 AI providers
The AI form generator only contacts a provider after an admin adds a key and asks for a form. It sends your prompt, the chosen model, any attached image and your key. Keep personal data out of prompts. Your provider may charge for each request.
