How can I integrate SendFox and WordPress?

Integrate SendFox and WordPress three ways: embed a SendFox signup form, install the WP SendFox plugin, or connect your existing WordPress forms to SendFox.

Pick the method that fits

• Embed a SendFox form — paste a snippet into any post or page. Works on every plan, including Free.
• WP SendFox plugin — the official plugin; adds your forms via a widget/shortcode. Connects with an API token, so it requires a paid plan.
• Advanced Form Integration — sends entries from Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, and other WordPress form plugins to SendFox via the API. Also requires a paid plan.

Option 1: Embed a SendFox form (all plans)

1. In SendFox, go to Growth → Forms and create a form (or use an existing one)—see how to create an embeddable HTML form.
2. Click Get Embeddable Code next to your form and copy the snippet.
3. In WordPress, paste the snippet into a Custom HTML block on the post or page where you want the signup form.

Option 2: The WP SendFox plugin (paid plans)

1. Install the WP SendFox plugin from the WordPress plugin directory.
2. In SendFox, create an API token under Settings → Connections → API tokens—see how to get access tokens.
3. Paste the token into the plugin's settings in WordPress, then add your forms with the plugin's widget or shortcode.

Free plan note: API tokens are a paid-plan feature—on the Free plan the API returns the error "API access requires a paid plan." Use Option 1 instead, or upgrade.

Option 3: Connect Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, and others (paid plans)

If you already collect signups with a WordPress form plugin, the third-party Advanced Form Integration plugin can forward new entries to your SendFox lists. It connects to SendFox through the API, so it also needs an API token from a paid plan.

Troubleshooting

The plugin asks for an API token I can't create

• API access (and token creation) is included with paid plans only. On the Free plan, the API tokens page shows an upgrade prompt—use the embedded-form method instead, or upgrade.

My embedded form doesn't show up

• Paste the snippet into a Custom HTML block (not a plain paragraph), and make sure your theme or page builder isn't stripping scripts. See formatting your SendFox HTML form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which method works on the Free plan?

Embedding a SendFox form (Option 1). The plugin and form-integration methods use the SendFox API, which requires a paid plan.

Will WordPress signups get a confirmation email?

Form signups go through the same confirmation process as any other new SendFox contact before they're marked subscribed.

Can I connect WordPress through Zapier instead?

Yes—if your WordPress setup has a Zapier integration, you can route signups through it. See SendFox's Zapier app (paid plans).
