6. Edit the Contact Form 7 Form
Create a new form using Contact Form 7.
You will see an HTML screen with the default basic form and information fields representing your form. Edit it as needed.
Title: Enter a name for your form to differentiate it from other forms.
Field Names: To change the field names, such as first name, phone number, email, etc., update the text next to the <label> code.
7. Map Form Fields
To link the fields in the form you created with the fields in your inwise account, go to the “inwise Fields Map” tab.
In this window, you will see all the fields in your inwise account (description and field type) along with their ID numbers.
To map the fields from your form to those in inwise, update the relevant field IDs.
For example, the ID for the “First Name” field in inwise is 1, so next to the class code, you should prefix with “inwisefield” and add the field number like this: “class:inwisefield1”.
For the email field, use “email_address”.
For the phone number field, use “mobile_number”.
You can also add any other relevant fields that exist in your inwise account, such as full name, address, date of birth, etc.
After creating the form, ensure that at least one of inwise’s key fields (email or phone) is present.
Finally, copy the shortcode for the form from your WordPress form list and embed it on your website.
Test the form to ensure the details filled in are properly updated in the relevant inwise contact group.
