Alright, let’s get to the how-to part. I’ll number these out so you can follow along easily. This guide focuses on how to integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar using free tools.
First things first, head over to your WordPress dashboard. Click on Plugins, then Add New, and search for “Bit Integrations.” Install and activate it. Or you can download the Bit Integrations plugin directly from the WordPress plugin repository.
This is the free version we’re using here, so no worries about costs.
After activating Bit Integrations, navigate to the Bit Integrations dashboard and click on ‘Create Integration’. Search and select Contact Form 7 as your trigger, and select the desired form you want to integrate with Google Calendar. And click next.
💡You can choose your prepared form plugin as a trigger instead of Contact Form 7.
After choosing Contact Form 7 as the trigger, simply search for and select Google Calendar as the action.
Once you’ve selected Google Calendar as your action. Now you’ll need to provide your Google Calendar credentials, specifically your Google Client ID and Client Secret, and then authorize your Google account.
Rest assured, the authorization process runs on your own server. Bit Integrations does not collect, store, or access any of your personal information.
💡If you’re unsure where to find your Google Client ID and Client Secret, refer to the official documentation on Google Calendar integrations, which walks through the setup process step by step.
Start by selecting the Calendar List where events should be created and set the correct Time Zone to ensure accurate scheduling.
Next, move to the Field Map section and connect your Contact Form 7 fields with the corresponding Google Calendar fields. For example, map the form’s date field to both Start Date Time and End Date Time, and map the other necessary fields.
You can add or remove mappings as needed using the plus and delete icons. Finally, configure optional settings like Conditional logic, All-Day Event, Skip if Slot Not Free, or Reminders option lets you control how and when notifications are sent for the event created in Google Calendar.
After mapping all the required fields, click Save to complete the integration. Then submit a demo event or booking form, and you’ll see the event automatically added to your Google Calendar based on the submitted date.
Testing is key when you first integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar to confirm everything works as expected.
I have seen this setup help all sorts of people, from small business owners to volunteers. Here are a few stories to show how it plays out in the real world. These examples highlight practical ways to integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar.
Take a freelance photographer with a site using Contact Form 7 for session requests. Clients fill in their name, preferred date, time, and type of shoot, like family portraits or events. Once submitted, Bit Integrations pushes it straight to Google Calendar as an event, with the details in the description.
I talked to a studio owner who said this cut down on phone tag and stopped them from overbooking weekends. Now, they just glance at the calendar to see what’s coming up.
A non-profit organizing workshops or meetups needs a simple way to track registrations. Their form collects attendee names, contact details, and session preferences. Each time someone submits the form, the information is automatically added to Google Calendar as an event, with notes like group size or selected topics.
For a marketing consultant, the form is for initial chats about projects. People share their business goals, availability, and questions.
The integration adds it to the calendar with all that info attached, so the consultant preps without scrambling.
Sometimes things don’t go perfectly at first. If Google’s connection fails, try signing in again or checking your account permissions.
Date formats might not match up; make sure your form’s date field lines up with how Google expects it. Or if the form isn’t triggering anything, double-check that Bit Integrations is active and linked to the right form. Plugin updates can fix a lot of these, so keep things current.
Troubleshooting is common when you integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar, but these steps usually resolve most problems.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet frustration of managing bookings by hand, this integration is one of those small wins that actually changes your daily workflow. Connecting Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar using Bit Integrations removes the boring, error-prone steps that sit between a form submission and a confirmed schedule.
Once it’s set up, everything just clicks into place. New requests show up as calendar events. Details stay organized. You stop worrying about missed emails or double bookings.
Whether you’re running a service business, coordinating events, or handling client calls, this setup gives you clarity without adding cost or complexity. If you’re ready to integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar, the free approach with Bit Integrations is a solid choice.
The best part is that you’re doing all of this with free tools you already trust. No paid automation platforms. No extra subscriptions. Just a smarter way to use what WordPress and Google already offer.
If you haven’t tried automation like this before, this is a great place to start. Set it up once, test it, and let it quietly handle the background work while you focus on what actually matters.
You can integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar by using the free version of the Bit Integrations plugin. You just need to follow a simple step-by-step guide to automate form submissions directly into your calendar.
Yes. Using conditional logic in Bit Integrations, you can route submissions to different calendars or apply different event titles, descriptions, or reminders based on user choices like service type, meeting mode, or priority.
Yes. You can calculate event duration by mapping a start time from the form and either:
Setting a fixed end time offset, or using a second form field to define duration and map it to the end time dynamically.
This is useful for consultations, classes, or paid sessions.
Yes. You can configure Google Calendar reminders directly inside the integration, such as email or pop-up alerts, so both you and your team receive notifications before the event starts.
Because the integration runs directly on your WordPress site, there are no external task limits, delayed executions, or third-party outages. As long as your site and Google account are active, events are created instantly without queue delays.
Yes. You can connect shared or team Google Calendars and assign events there. This works well for agencies, clinics, or support teams where multiple staff members need visibility into bookings. For team setups, it’s easy to integrate Contact Form 7 with Google Calendar and share the results across your group.
Start Date Time and End Date Time are mandatory in Google Calendar for the events, and Bit Integrations enforces that requirement at the field-mapping level. You must map valid date (or date-time) values from the form to both fields.
