How to use these Contact Form 7 templates

These are copy-and-paste starters for the core Contact Form 7 plugin. You do not need a paid addon to use the fields. Keep a copy of any existing form before replacing its markup.

  1. Open a new contact form

    Keep Contact Form 7 installed and active. In WordPress, open Contact and add a new contact form. Give it a clear name such as "Quote request".

  2. Paste the Form code

    Replace the new form's default markup with one complete Form tab block above. Paste the code itself, without code fences. CF7 supplies the outer form element.

  3. Adapt the questions

    Edit visible labels and select options for your business. An asterisk in a form-tag, such as text*, makes that field required. Keep field names unique within each form.

  4. Connect the notification

    Use the matching Message body snippet. Set your recipient, sender, subject and reply header using the settings below. Update mail-tags if you rename or remove fields.

  5. Save and embed

    Resolve configuration warnings and save. Copy the shortcode generated for this saved form. In Bricks, paste it into a Shortcode element on the destination page, then save the page.

  6. Check the live result

    Load the shared sizing CSS below if needed. Test the actual page on desktop and mobile, then check validation and receipt of a test notification before using the form publicly.

Keep the three editing locations separate. Form markup goes in the CF7 Form tab. Notification values go in the Mail tab. The saved form's shortcode goes on your WordPress page. Adding form-tags directly to an ordinary page will not create the saved CF7 form.

Shared sizing CSS for the three starters

These single-column examples inherit your theme's appearance. If fields are too wide or too close together, add these small containment rules to Bricks page Custom CSS or a stylesheet loaded on the form's page. Paste as plain CSS, outside the Form tab.

Shared sizing / CSS
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template,
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template * { box-sizing: border-box; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template { width: 100%; min-width: 0; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template p { margin: 0 0 18px; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template label,
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template .wpcf7-form-control-wrap { display: block; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template :is(
  input[type="text"], input[type="email"],
  input[type="url"], select, textarea
) {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
  min-width: 0;
  font-size: 16px;
}
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template textarea { resize: vertical; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template .wpcf7-submit { max-width: 100%; }
.wpcf7 .cf7tb-template .wpcf7-not-valid-tip { overflow-wrap: anywhere; }

The rules apply only inside .cf7tb-template. They keep the starters readable in a narrow container. For colors, borders and broader appearance changes, use the Contact Form 7 CSS style guide.

Connect the fields

Finish the notification settings

Use the values below with the message-body block for your chosen form. Replace both example email addresses with addresses configured for your own website.

Mail tab settings shared by all three examples
ToYour receiving inbox, for example inquiries@your-domain.com.
FromA sender on your website's domain, for example Website Forms <forms@your-domain.com>. Use an address supported by your mail configuration.
SubjectUse the subject shown with your chosen template's notification fields.
Additional headersReply-To: [your-email]
Message bodyPaste the matching snippet from your chosen template. Keep "Use HTML content type" off for these plain-text bodies.

All three forms use the required email field your-email, so the same reply header works. If you change that field name, change the header too. An email-format check does not verify ownership of the address. For full mail configuration guidance, see Contact Form 7: setting up mail.

Before you put the form to work

  • Submit with a required field missing and confirm that the field error is readable.
  • Leave optional fields empty and confirm that the request can still be submitted.
  • Send a test request on your own site. Check the received notification for every field, including select values and longer messages.
  • Check that replying to the notification addresses the test visitor. A success message alone does not confirm inbox delivery.
  • Review phone widths, keyboard focus and error messages on the actual page. Add any privacy notice or consent controls your use case requires.
A few practical details

Questions about using the templates

Can I import these templates with one click?

No import file or one-click importer is included here. Copy the Form code into Contact Form 7, configure the Mail tab, then embed the saved form's shortcode.

Will the template look exactly like the illustration?

The illustration shows the field structure. The copied markup uses your theme and page styles. Use the shared sizing rules for a simple single-column starting point, then follow the styling guide if you want to change the appearance.

Can I change labels without breaking the notification?

Yes. Visible labels can change while field names stay the same. Renaming your-name inside a form-tag also requires updating its matching mail-tag. Remove unused mail-tags when you remove fields.

Can I place fields side by side?

Yes. Start with the questions you need, then use the Contact Form 7 columns guide for the layout. Keep the same field names when moving fields, and recheck the form on mobile.

Does the support example upload files or create tickets?

It collects a text-based support request and sends the configured notification. File uploads, ticket numbers and helpdesk integration require their own setup. None is added by this starter.

Why is a field missing from the email?

Check that the Message body contains the exact mail-tag for that field. For example, project-details in the quote form needs [project-details] in its message body. Save the correction and send another test request.
