详情介绍:
Inbox AI adds a unified, searchable Contact Form 7 (CF7) inbox on top of your existing forms — without modifying Contact Form 7 itself. Every submission is stored, analyzed by your chosen AI provider, and turned into something your team can actually work from: a plain-language AI email summary, a suggested category and priority, a confidence score, and a ready-to-edit draft reply.
If you've ever dug through email notifications trying to figure out which contact form submissions actually need a reply, Inbox AI is built for exactly that problem. Think of it as a Contact Form 7 AI layer: a lightweight support inbox, contact form management tool, and lead management layer that turns what your forms already collect into a focused, triage-ready queue.
How it works
- A visitor submits one of your monitored Contact Form 7 forms.
- Inbox AI stores the submission locally in your WordPress database.
- Your connected AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) analyzes it in the background and returns a summary, category, priority, confidence score, and a suggested reply.
- You review everything in the AI Inbox screen and, when you're happy with it, send the reply yourself. Nothing is ever sent to a visitor automatically.
- Small businesses and agencies using Contact Form 7 who want a real support inbox instead of scattered email notifications.
- Support and sales teams that want an AI customer support layer for day-to-day customer inquiry management, triaging contact form submissions by priority and category automatically.
- Anyone already using Flamingo to store Contact Form 7 submissions who wants AI categorization and an AI-drafted reply on top of that same data.
- AI-generated summary for every submission, so you don't have to read the full message to know what it's about.
- AI prioritization and category suggestions (Urgent, High, Normal, Low), with a confidence score for each AI analysis.
- AI-drafted reply you can edit before sending — an AI email assistant for drafting replies, not an autoresponder.
- Bring your own API key: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google Gemini. You choose the provider and control the cost.
- Automatic retry for any submission whose AI analysis failed, with a clear failure state instead of a silent gap.
- A searchable, filterable AI inbox: filter by form, status, priority, category, AI confidence, and date range.
- Full-text search across sender name, email, subject, and message.
- A per-submission detail screen with the full AI analysis and an activity timeline (who did what, and when) — closer to a support ticket assistant than a plain message list.
- CSV export of the current filtered view, for reporting or import into another contact form database or CRM.
- Manual "Mark reviewed," "Archive," and "Delete" actions, each gated behind its own WordPress capability.
- Every sender automatically grouped into a single Contacts row — a lightweight contact form CRM view built directly from your existing submissions, no separate import needed.
- Search plus category and priority filters, matching the main inbox.
- One click from a contact straight to every message from that sender.
- CSV export and an archive-based delete, so removing a contact never destroys the underlying message history.
- Email and Slack notifications so your team knows when a new submission — or one flagged urgent by the AI — needs attention, keeping AI customer service response times fast.
- A guided import wizard for existing Flamingo submissions, so switching from Flamingo to Inbox AI doesn't mean losing your submission history.
- A CSV upload path for a Flamingo export, for sites that can't run the direct import wizard.
- Your AI provider API key is encrypted in the database and only ever shown masked (e.g.
sk-••••••7f2A) after saving. - Custom WordPress capabilities control who can view, edit, reply to, delete, or export messages — no blanket admin-only access.
- No data reaches any AI provider until you've connected one and explicitly turned on at least one monitored form.
- AI analysis runs as a background AI workflow via WP-Cron — a visitor's form submission is never delayed waiting on an AI response.
- Built to WordPress coding standards, with its own custom capabilities (filterable via
inboxai_capabilities) instead of overloading core roles. - Integrates with Contact Form 7 (wpcf7) exclusively through its own public hooks —
wpcf7_before_send_mail,wpcf7_mail_sent, andwpcf7_mail_failedfor capturing submissions, pluswpcf7_admin_misc_pub_section/wpcf7_after_savefor per-form AI categories — so Contact Form 7 core files and its own outgoing mail are never touched. - Lifecycle action hooks (e.g.
inboxai_loaded) for developers who want to extend the plugin.
安装:
- Install and activate Contact Form 7 (required — Inbox AI is a Contact Form 7 add-on, not a standalone form builder).
- Upload and activate Inbox AI.
- Go to Contact → Settings to connect an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) and choose which forms to monitor.
- Open Contact → AI Inbox to see submissions arrive, get analyzed, and become ready to review.

常见问题:
Does this work with Contact Form 7?
Yes — Contact Form 7 is a required dependency, and Inbox AI is built specifically as a contact form inbox layer for it. Submissions are captured through Contact Form 7's own public hooks; Inbox AI never modifies Contact Form 7 core files or its mail handling.
Can I import my existing Flamingo submissions?
Yes. Settings → Import & Migration includes a guided wizard for Flamingo's stored submissions, plus a CSV upload path for exports from Flamingo or another Contact Form 7 database/entries plugin.
Will replies ever be sent automatically?
No. The AI drafts a summary and a suggested reply; a human always reviews and explicitly clicks Send before anything reaches a visitor.
Which AI providers are supported?
OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Google Gemini. You choose one in Settings → AI Provider and supply your own API key.
Where is my API key stored, and is it secure?
Encrypted in your WordPress database. It's never exposed in any frontend page, script, or REST response — only a masked version is ever displayed after saving.
Does this plugin store my form submissions?
Yes. Every submission to a monitored form is stored locally in your own WordPress database (not sent to a third party for storage) — the same local-storage approach as a typical Contact Form 7 db/database add-on, with AI analysis layered on top.
Can I export my submissions or contacts?
Yes. Both the AI Inbox and the Contacts page support CSV export of the current filtered view.
Does this modify Contact Form 7 or its emails?
No. Inbox AI only reads from Contact Form 7's public hooks; it never edits Contact Form 7 core files or interferes with Contact Form 7's own outgoing mail.
Can I control who sees or replies to messages?
Yes. Inbox AI defines its own capabilities (view, edit, delete, reply, export, manage settings, view analytics) so you can grant a support agent narrower access than a full administrator.
Can I disable AI analysis?
Yes. AI analysis only runs for forms listed under Settings → General → Monitored Forms. Remove a form from that list (or leave it out to begin with) and Inbox AI stops sending its submissions to any AI provider — the submission is still stored locally, just without AI analysis.
How much does OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini cost?
That's set entirely by the provider, not by Inbox AI — see each provider's own published pricing (for example OpenAI's or Anthropic's API pricing pages) since rates vary by model and change over time. Inbox AI itself doesn't charge anything or mark up provider costs; you pay the provider directly for what your usage consumes, and the Usage & Billing tab tracks your estimated spend inside WordPress so there are no surprises.
Is this ready to use?
Yes. AI Inbox, Contacts, and Settings (AI Provider, General, Prompts, Usage & Billing, Notifications, Import & Migration) are built and working. An Overview dashboard, Analytics, and Campaigns (bulk email) are still in development.

- Fixed a translation string in the activity log that passed a variable to
__()instead of a literal string, which prevented translators from picking it up.

- Added a "Source category" field to the Submission Detail page.
- Added a native CSV import format, built for this plugin's own data, as an alternative to importing a Flamingo CSV export.
