Use this plugin when you need Contact Form 7 submissions to post directly to a Pardot Form Handler endpoint from WordPress. Each Contact Form 7 form can have its own Pardot endpoint URL, uploaded files are copied to a permanent public location so the URLs remain accessible long after the form is submitted. Features: * Send Contact Form 7 form data to a Pardot Form Handler endpoint * Configure a separate Pardot endpoint for each Contact Form 7 form * Add a custom `[multifile]` field for multiple file uploads * Convert uploaded files into permanent, accessible URLs for Pardot field mapping * Supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX uploads * Server-side MIME type and extension validation for every uploaded file * Upload directory protected against script execution via `.htaccess` * Lightweight and easy to use For support and documentation, visit https://darwindigital.com/contact/. ### Usage Add the custom multiple-file upload field to your CF7 form: ``` [multifile file-uploads limit:5 file_size:10] where file-uploads is the field name ``` Make the field multiple-file required by appending an asterisks `multifile*`: ``` [multifile* file-uploads limit:5 file_size:10] ``` Options: * `limit:N` — maximum number of files (default: 5) * `file_size:N` — maximum size per file in MB (default: 5) Accepted file types: JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX. Add the mail-tag `[file-uploads]` to the CF7 Mail tab body so file URLs appear in the notification email. Uploaded file URLs are also sent automatically to Pardot. ### External Services This plugin integrates with Salesforce Pardot (also known as Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) to process and store form submissions. * **Service Name:** Salesforce Pardot (Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) * **Purpose of Usage:** Submitting lead generation form data and uploaded files directly into Pardot Form Handlers. * **Data Transmitted:** The field values submitted through your Contact Form 7 form (such as name, email, etc.) and the publicly accessible URLs of any files uploaded via the `[multifile]` field. * **Privacy Policy:** https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/ * **Terms of Service:** https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/sfdc-website-terms- of-service/ * **Whether User Consent Is Required:** Yes.

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Edit any Contact Form 7 form 4. Open the **Pardot Settings** tab and paste your Pardot Form Handler endpoint URL 5. Map your CF7 field names to the matching External Field Names in Pardot ## FAQ ### Does the plugin upload files directly to Pardot? No. Files are saved to your WordPress media directory. The plugin sends the publicly accessible file URLs to Pardot so you can map them to a Pardot field. ### Can I rename the multifile field name? Yes. The name of the multifile tag (e.g., `file-uploads` in `[multifile file-uploads]`) is sent directly as the field key to Pardot. Change the field name in the shortcode( e.g. `[multifile attachments]`) and update your Pardot External Field Name to match. ### Which file types are allowed? JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX. Both the file extension and the actual MIME type are verified server-side. ### What happens if the Pardot endpoint is unreachable? The form submission still completes for the visitor. The Pardot API failure is caught and stored in a transient (cf7_pardot_submission_error, 24-hour TTL), and an admin notice surfaces it to users who can edit Contact Form 7 forms on their next visit to the admin area. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Darwin Form Handler for Pardot” is open source software.
