This addon integrates Newsletter with Contact Form 7, one of the leading free contact form plugins for WordPress.

Installing this Contact Form 7 Extensions for Newsletter, you can easily offer a newsletter subscription option to any forms and get the double action to be contacted and to start a subscription process.
