    Take a look here:

    https://contactform7.com/admin-screen/.

    In the contact 7 dashboard, look at the Mail tab. That is the part that makes form work.

    The part you have, is off. Click the link above.

    Not sure if you are still having issues with CF7. I used it for years on my sites but it has been buggy very recently. I switched to WP Contact Form (Easy Softonic). I don't know though if it will be helpful for your lead generation. I only use it on my contact pages.

    I get my wordpress site get built for me, so all these tools are built in so i dont really have this problem, my recommediation would be to contact word press directly, i have found with most companies now they will assign you a ticket and usually for the most part you will get a response quite quickly bear in mind if you are doing it today, then you might not get a response until after the weekend.

    What you could do also is just search on you tube, and as you say if its a technical issue just type that in also, and try what they suggest, and if it dosent work, it may be a issue at word press end, and i am sure they will give you a solution, thanks for sharing this question today it is a good one.

    If it's not working then I'd recommend using WPForms to create your contact page. But note you may have to set up SMTP to receive emails to your business email inbox. However they include a full tutorial and guide.

    Overall, it is straightforward. The form is based on front-end and back-end. Be sure that you have the same variables on both sides or you will get an empty email. Also be sure that the SMTP settings are set properly. Often WP tries to send email from default email or email that doesn't belong to the server.
