Description
Leadflow Connector connects your WordPress site to your company in Leadflow, the CRM that follows each contact from the first request to the appointment and the signed contract.
Every 5 minutes Leadflow reads the messages that Flamingo saved from your Contact Form 7 forms and turns them into new leads, ready in the call queue:
- first name, last name, email, phone, province, course and message are read from the form fields;
- the lead source is chosen in Leadflow, even a different one for contacts coming from Google Ads;
- no duplicates: a contact already in Leadflow only gets the new request in its history;
- spam marked by Flamingo is never shared;
- nothing runs on your site: no WordPress cron and nothing sent by the site on its own. Leadflow asks for the new messages with signed requests.
You need a Leadflow account (the administrator of your company creates the connection key) and the free Flamingo plugin, which saves the Contact Form 7 messages in the database.
The plugin interface is available in English and Italian.
External services
This plugin connects to Leadflow (https://leadflow.deskpilotapp.cloud/), an external CRM service, to turn your form messages into leads. Nothing is sent or read before an administrator pastes the connection key created in Leadflow and clicks “Connect”.
- When you connect the site (Settings › Leadflow › Connect), the plugin sends to Leadflow the site address, the REST address of the plugin, the versions of WordPress, PHP, Leadflow Connector, Flamingo and Contact Form 7, and the ID of the last Flamingo message (when you choose “New ones only”).
- Every 5 minutes, after the connection, Leadflow calls the REST route
leadflow/v1/messaggiof your site with a signed request (HMAC-SHA256) and receives the Flamingo messages saved after the last one it read: date, subject, sender name and email, page address and the form fields. Messages marked as spam are never returned. - When you disconnect the site, the plugin tells Leadflow that the connection has been removed.

Installation
- Install and activate Flamingo (and Contact Form 7, if it is not already on the site).
- Install Leadflow Connector from Plugins › Add New, searching for “Leadflow Connector”, and activate it.
- In Leadflow open Utility › Connettori › WordPress, click “Collega un sito” (Connect a site), choose the lead source and copy the connection key. The key is shown only once.
- In WordPress open Settings › Leadflow, paste the key, choose “New ones only” or “All” and click “Connect”.
Within 5 minutes Leadflow starts reading the messages. The settings page shows the company, the last check by Leadflow and how many messages are still to be read.
FAQ
-
Do I need a Leadflow account?
-
Yes. The connection key is created by the administrator of your company in Leadflow, under Utility › Connettori › WordPress.
-
Does it work without Flamingo?
-
No. Contact Form 7 does not save the messages: Flamingo does, and Leadflow reads them from Flamingo.
-
Are the old messages imported too?
-
Only if you choose “All” when you connect the site. With “New ones only” Leadflow reads the messages arriving from that moment on.
-
Will the same person become two leads?
-
No. A contact already in Leadflow (same phone or email) only gets the new request in its history.
-
Does the plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin does not schedule anything and does not send anything by itself: Leadflow asks for the new messages every 5 minutes through a signed REST request.
-
What happens when I disconnect or uninstall the plugin?
-
New messages no longer reach Leadflow. Leads already received stay in Leadflow and the messages stay in Flamingo. Uninstalling the plugin removes its settings.
