Visit the WordPress Plugin Page for third-party plugins that integrate your contact form.

*Note: These integrations were created by third-parties, so If you need support regarding their Wordpress plugins, please contact the plugin creators!

 

UPDATE: You don't necessarily need a plugin to sync up the Wordpress contact form. You can use the Leads via Email method of integration. This video will show you how to integrate Wordpress' native contact form via this method.

    If you want any customization and a form that integrates seamlessly with your WordPress site, I highly recommend using the Gravity Forms ShootQ Add-on plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-shootq-add-on/). You have to purchase Gravity Forms (http://beauti.us/GForms), but it's well worth the price.

    P.S. You only need the personal version of Gravity Forms unless you have multiple sites or wish to use their other add-ons.

    Hi,

    How do I link our shootq enquiry form on our website to actually generate a lead direct in shoot q for that customer when they enquire for the first time?

    At the moment it just spits to our studio email not into shootq

    We have a wordpress site.

    I have my shootq contact form active and running however the only browser displaying the form properly is Firefox which has the form in a single column which fits properly in my wordpress contact page. IE and Chrome are displaying the contact form in 2 columns and the right hand column is cut off. Site is http://blog.vaughnbarry.com/contact-vaughn/  - Any words of wisdom?

    I have the WORST time getting ShootQ integrated... How hard would it be just to have a plug in for wordpress FROM Shootq that ALL you had to do was plug in your API and such and it worked!

    I don't have gravity forms.

    The Contact Form 7 with add on seems a bit confusing, Still trying to figure out where I add my API.

    The ShootQ Integration plugin didn't size right for widgets. And suddenly my normal contact form isn't working.

    I tried just using the lead email and I'm not getting email on the test contact forms...

    You wouldn't think it would be sooo difficult!

    I went ahead and picked up Gravity forms last night. Installed the Shootq plug in. Did the form in the proper order, etc. Filled out the info and while it sends me an email to show me what I got, all info is there. NOT all the info is going to Shootq. It will tell me there is no name, no phone number and no date, even though those are REQUIRED fields.

     

    There really has to be an easier way!

    Christy, did you map the fields in the plugin settings? Go to http://www.pussycatintimates.com/gravity-forms-shootq-add-on-wordpress-plugin/ and follow the instructions there. If you are still having problems, leave a comment on that page or send an email to development@pussycatintimates.com

    Anyone have an idea of how to integrate the correct format that works best with Shootq into ProPhoto4? Without being able to change the fields, I know I can add custom ones but that doesn't help relay that info correctly to Shootq causing a mess, I am at a brick wall.

    I installed the WordPress Plugin and used the API keys and I'm successfully generating leads.  That being said however I get First Name Last Name and Other for my clients names.  Like Luke Black Other.  Other represents the TYPE of session that the client is trying to book.  What form can we use in Gravity Forms to map to the specific type of session that we want to populate into our fields?

    I'm trying to integrate ShootQ with a Flothemes Wordpress page.  Flothemes supports this but when I add in the ShootQ info the entire page shows up within the Wordpress page.  i.e. 2 logos, 2 navigation menus, and you can't see the entire contact form.  I've tried a work around with Contact Form 7, but the information doesn't populate to ShootQ correctly!  (every test I've run has come in as an event date of January 1, 1970 rather than what I entered).  Help please!

    Is there anyone from Australia who has managed to overcome the "backwards date" issue? We use the format ddmmyy and shoot q keeps changing this to mmddyy. Worst still, it's not consistent for all dates, so if the "Australian day" is greater than the 12th ShootQ realises it must be a month and keeps the original date. Havoc!

    Do you use a date picker or have your clients manually type the date?

    Does anyone know how to integrate ShootQ with Contact From 7? We were using a Plugin called ShootQ for Contact From 7, but since we upgraded to WordPress 4.0 it has stopped working. 

    Any suggestions on how to fix this plug in would be awesome.

    Thanks

    I have the ProPhoto 5 theme and have been attempting to utilize its built-in contact form (long story, but basically the contact form for my Big Folio website is apparently nonfunctional for quite some time now). I tried using the ShootQ Integration plug-in mentioned near the beginning of this thread. However, it is incompatible with the ProPhoto 5 theme.

    Does anyone here have any suggestions or ideas as to how I could successfully integrate this ProPhoto 5 theme while also automating my leads into ShootQ.

    Thanks!

    Our form successfully works with our new site -- but it was integrated so that I could maintain the branding of the new website.  We've noticed though that our "thank you" automated response no longer gets sent.  Is there a way to do this still?

    Hi CheyAnne,

    You can set up an auto-responder in ShootQ by creating an email that is automatically sent when a lead is assigned your default lead status. For example, when the client fills out your contact form, a lead will be generated in ShootQ and they will automatically be assigned your "New Inquiry" status. You can add an auto-response email to this "New Inquiry" status (under Settings > Workflows > Lead Tracking) that will then automatically be sent to the client. Here's a link to a knowledge base article that explains more: http://help.shootq.com/entries/44912464-How-do-I-create-an-auto-responder-for-my-contact-form-

    I hope that helps. If you have any other questions just let us know.

    I cannot get this to work. Does someone mind posting their code that Contact Form 7 generated?

    Hi Gene, First, you're going to want to grab the ShootQ Lead Email within your ShootQ. Go to Settings, Contact Form, Integrate Website, and the Lead From Email address will be towards the bottom of the page. Then, in your Contact Form Settings in WordPress, you'll want to generate an email that goes to this address when your contact form is completed. When I used this pluton, I had one email go directly to my email address and then mail2 go to this ShootQ lead email. I recommend setting up thie ShootQ email to be very basic, such as this: Name: [name] Date: [date] Email: [email] Phone: [phone] Message: [message] When this email goers to ShootQ, the application will do it's best to read the information and generate a lead. That's why it's important to keep the layout clean. Note that when I used this method, my leads were not categorized automatically. Theyball came in as "Other" and I had to give them a shoot type. Hope that helps! Leeann SQUAD Consultant
