Description
This plugin sends each successful Contact Form 7 submission to a chat in MAX messenger using your own bot. Configure the bot access token and target chat id under Contact Form 7 Integration.
This plugin is an independent integration and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MAX messenger or Contact Form 7.
External services
This plugin connects to the MAX messenger Bot API (HTTPS host platform-api.max.ru), operated by MAX, to send Contact Form 7 submissions to a MAX chat that you configure in the integration settings.
When a site administrator saves or validates the integration settings in WordPress admin, the plugin sends HTTPS requests to MAX with the configured bot access token: GET /me (check the token) and GET /chats/{chat_id}/members/me (check that the bot is a member of the target chat). The chat id you saved is included in the request path.
When a visitor successfully submits a form (after Contact Form 7 validation and spam checks), the plugin sends HTTPS POST /messages to MAX. The request includes the bot access token, the target chat id (as a query argument), and a plain-text message body built from the form title (if any) and the submitted field names and values (unless filtered out by the form or by the mmfcfbs_message_text filter). Nothing is sent to MAX unless the integration is turned on and the token and chat id are configured.
