• My CF7 webhook to Zapier was working perfectly.

    I don’t know what happened after spending quite some time testing the add-on.
    Now, when a form is submitted via CF7, I get the red message:
    “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”

    I don’t know how to fix this because even though the error message appears, the data is still correctly sent to the webhook. I also receive the CF7 notification email, and Flamingo correctly saves the message.

    I have changed my SMTP mail.

    The only way I’ve found to fix this issue is to disable the webhook via your add-on.
    When I do that, the error message disappears.

    Have you ever encountered this issue?

  • I’m also having this issue. Haven’t changed anything other than normal core updates.

    Hi there 👋

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. From what you described, this behavior is usually not caused by the webhook itself.

    I tested this here with everything fully updated (WordPress, Contact Form 7 and my plugin) and could not reproduce the issue. The webhook worked correctly and no error message appeared.

    Since the error disappears when you disable the webhook, but the data is still sent correctly, this usually means something else in the submission process is returning a failure status but not necessarily the webhook itself.

    • Do you have Mail (2) enabled in Contact Form 7?
    • Did you checked SMTP Logs?
    • Did you checked webhook? Maybe webhook.site ?

    Let’s try debug mode?

    Please temporarily enable WordPress debug mode so we can see what is happening behind the scenes.

    In your wp-config.php, add or update:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
    define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
    define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

    Then:

    • Submit the form again
    • Check the file: /wp-content/debug.log

    See if any errors are recorded at the time of submission.

    Conflict Test

    Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Contact Form 7 and the my plugin, and switch to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four).

    Then test the form again.

    If the error disappears, it means there is a conflict with another plugin or your theme.

    Let me know the results.

    @mariovalney thank you for the tip.

    After checking my wp smtp logs, I figured out that leadmailbox had blocked my server’s IP address, I changed my server’s IP address and was able to POST again.

    I looked into the chain of events about why this happened.

    Google has retired recaptcha and I was spamming leadmailbox on accident.

    I then had a handshake issue with Cloudflare.

    Down and dirty way to get access back to leadmailbox was to change my server’s IP because their support was too slow to unban my IP. @korozif

    Thanks again @mariovalney for creating an awesome plugin. Just a heads up I have CF7 to Webhook working with leadmailbox all webhook fields.

    Best,
    Curtis Droppelman
