Manage submissions and form responses

Extensions For CF7 Pro adds tools for handling Contact Form 7 submissions and shaping how visitors complete a form. The Contact Form 7 Database capability saves submissions in the database for administrators to manage through the WordPress dashboard. Submission data can also be exported as a CSV file.

Conditional fields show or hide according to user input, so earlier selections can determine which questions appear. After a successful submission, redirection can send visitors to a selected page. Mailchimp integration connects Contact Form 7 with Mailchimp so submissions can be used to generate leads. The admin menu can display an unread emails count badge, and the email list shows read and unread status.

Choose fields and layouts

A column field makes multiple-column layouts. Other available fields include a range slider and a signature field. The Pro version adds a repeater for groups of repeated information and a telephone input with country code and flag settings.

Visitors can attach documents using drag-and-drop file upload. Autocomplete fields can assist with entry. IP Geo Fields can provide country, city, state, and ZIP information.

Pro messages, consent, and styling

The Pro edition can trigger a notice when a form has already been submitted. It can also display validation and success messages in a pop-up. A GDPR field lets a form request permission to save submitted data, and Form Styler tools let site owners adjust the form's presentation.

Set up a form

Install Contact Form 7 first, then install Extensions For CF7 and configure the extensions you need. Create or edit a Contact Form 7 form, add the relevant fields or functions, and set the database, conditional, redirect, Mailchimp, consent, upload, and styling options for that form.

Test the form after configuration. Check its submission behavior, displayed fields, redirects, notifications, and stored data before publishing it for visitors.
