# How the Plugin Works

* **Centous Integration for Contact Form 7 and Zoho** works by automatically sending Contact Form 7 submissions to **Zoho CRM** or **Zoho Bigin** using a secure, feed-based integration system.
* Instead of manually entering leads or contacts into Zoho, the plugin connects your WordPress site to Zoho using OAuth authentication and transfers form data in real time when a visitor submits a form.
* The plugin uses a secure OAuth connection and a feed-based system to control how and when data is sent.

#### Setup & Workflow 

1. Connect your Zoho CRM or Zoho Bigin account using OAuth
2. Test the Zoho connection
3. Create a new feed
4. Select a Contact Form 7 form
5. Choose the Zoho service and module
6. Map Contact Form 7 fields to Zoho fields
7. Enable the feed and save it
8. Submit the form to automatically send data to Zoho

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.centousplugins.com/cf7-zoho-integration/how-the-plugin-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
