Let’s get started from backend wordpress.

Step 1: If you haven’t installed wordpress yet, then follow this link. https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/ Otherwise, just skip this step.

Step 2:

Go to : Plugins → Add New

Search Plugin → Contact form 7

Install it. Activate it.

Click contact form. You will see something like this.

Now, Click tab: Mail

Edit To: {with you email address}

That’s all.

Let’s move to API section.

I am using insomnia rest client to make post request to backend wordpress server. You can use any other like PostMan. Or you may use axios from frontend using React, Vue, Angular etc.

Method: POST

http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/358/feedback

Replace

• www.yourdomain.com →with your domain name
• 358 → This is contact form 7 id. for eg: [contact-form-7 id=”358" title=”Contact me”]. You will see this, once you install contact form 7 in your wordpress backend.

}

Conclusion:

Congratulation, You should now receive user emails to your email box.
