TimAddons - Submission Log & Automation for Contact Form 7

Save and manage Contact Form 7 submissions directly in WordPress. Contact Form 7 is a powerful and popular WordPress form plugin, but it does not store submitted form entries in the WordPress database by default. If an email notification is delayed, filtered as spam, or fails to arrive, valuable leads and form submissions can be difficult to recover. Submission Log & Automation for Contact Form 7 automatically saves Contact Form 7 submissions to a dedicated custom MySQL database table, giving you a reliable submission history directly inside your WordPress dashboard. Search, filter, sort, view, export, and manage your Contact Form 7 submissions from an easy-to-use admin interface. The plugin uses efficient database queries and server-side pagination so you can manage your submissions without loading the entire database at once. Whether you receive a few submissions or manage a large number of Contact Form 7 entries, TimAddons provides a centralized place to store and manage your form submissions instead of relying only on email notifications. This plugin is an independent extension for Contact Form 7 and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Contact Form 7 project. Free Features
