Entries

The Entries app saves all Contact Form 7 form submissions directly to your WordPress database. With Entries enabled, every new form submission is stored securely in your database, allowing you to view, search, filter, and export your form data whenever you need it.

Before enabling the Entries app, make sure CF7 Apps is installed and activated on your WordPress website.

The Entries app works globally. Once enabled, it automatically stores submissions from all Contact Form 7 forms.

Getting Started

To enable Entries:

• Navigate to Contact → CF7 Apps → Dashboard.
• Locate the Entries app under General..

• Click the Settings (Gear) icon.
• Enable the Entries app.
• Click Save Changes.

Once enabled, all future Contact Form 7 submissions will automatically be saved to your WordPress database.

View Entries

To view saved form submissions:

1. Navigate to Contact → CF7 Apps → Dashboard → Entries.
2. The Entries page displays all saved submissions.
3. Use the Form Filter to display submissions from a specific Contact Form 7 form.
4. Use the Search box to quickly find entries.
5. Click View on any entry to see the complete submission details.

Entries are only saved after the Entries app has been enabled. Previous Contact Form 7 submissions cannot be recovered.

Entry Details

Each saved entry includes the following information:

• Submission date and time
• Contact Form 7 form name
• Submitted form field values

• The submission is automatically saved to the WordPress database.
• Contact Form 7 processes the configured email notification as usual.
• Administrators can:
  • View complete submission details.
  • Search and filter entries.
• Entries remain available until they are manually deleted.

To improve email delivery and ensure your Contact Form 7 notifications are sent reliably, we recommend using Post SMTP alongside the Entries app.

While Entries safely stores every form submission in your WordPress database, Post SMTP helps ensure that your notification emails are delivered successfully using trusted SMTP.
