Contact Form 7 v5.3 introduces the Contact Form 7 Block (CF7 Block) for the WordPress Gutenberg/Block editor. You can now easily add a form into a Page or Post directly while writing it, instead of manually copying a shortcode from the Contact Forms page.
This article will show you how to add a form using the CF7 Block in the WordPress Gutenberg editor.
