Contact Form 7

Use the FormStatus companion plugin when monitoring Contact Form 7 on WordPress.

Set up a test

1. Install and activate the companion plugin.
2. Add the public form page and select the correct form.
3. Set valid test values for fields with special requirements.
4. Enable email testing if you want notification delivery checked, then run a manual test.

Contact Form 7 submission and email checks

The companion integration reports Contact Form 7 validation errors and its mail-sent or mail-failed result. If a test fails before email is sent, inspect the field validation errors first. If submission passes but the email check fails, investigate mail delivery separately.

Contact Form 7 normally submits with AJAX. Keep the form’s existing submission method when setting up monitoring; a test does not require you to change it.

CAPTCHA and add-ons

For recognized test requests, the integration includes handling for Contact Form 7 CAPTCHA validation and reCAPTCHA verification. Required-field errors still need valid test values. A third-party CAPTCHA or honeypot add-on can behave differently, so review the recording if a challenge remains.

Multi-page and conditional workflows added by other plugins need to be tested with those add-ons active. Use a recording of the complete path rather than assuming a basic Contact Form 7 test covers every additional step. Test data may still reach external entry-storage or automation add-ons.

For a complex workflow, make a recording and maintain its custom steps. Review the individual check results and available recording after each change.
