WP Smart Consent adds a GDPR-compliant opt-in checkbox to Contact Form 7. When a customer ticks it and submits a form, their details are automatically forwarded to SureContact in real time.

The connection explained
WP Smart Consent adds a GDPR-compliant opt-in checkbox to your form. It is unchecked by default, so the visitor must actively tick it to subscribe. When they do and submits a form, WP Smart Consent immediately captures the consent with a timestamp and stores it in your WordPress database, giving you a complete audit trail without any third-party dependency. In the same request, it calls the SureContact API and creates or updates a contact with their name, email address, and any custom fields you have mapped in the WP Smart Consent dashboard. Your automations in SureContact fire instantly, just as if the subscriber had come through a native SureContact form. No cron delays. No code.
