Body: <p>I have a general question really.</p>
  
  <p>I am working with a client who is using CiviCRM. He has a membership joining page, donation pages, main donation and sub donations ie. £4, £6, £10 as well as a contact form. We have had problems using the CRM forms on the website so I am looking at using contact form 7. I understand that contact form 7 has an integration with the CiviCRM. </p>
  
  <p>Can I build the forms with contact form 7 which would include checkboxes, dropdowns, text fields and will all this data go to the CiviCRM, and will it still work if I make multiple forms, will they all send data to the CRM? </p>
