Managing submissions in Contact Form 7 can be a challenge, especially when important e-mail notifications go missing or get deleted. With the Contact Form 7 Storage plugin, all contact form entries are safely stored in your WordPress backend. This ensures that every inquiry and business lead is available, even if e-mail delivery fails. The data, including attachments, is saved in the database (DB), making retrieval easy. Additionally, GDPR compliance features allow users to manage user meta data, control browser information, and choose disabling options for storing user IP address details.

For better organization, the form export option lets you extract data as CSV or Excel files. You can apply filters, select specific fields, and download exported CSV files with structured columns. Each record includes entry attachments, input field values, and meta information, such as time, e-mail address, and subject line of the sent message. Additionally, the post or page URL where the form was submitted, along with the referer, device information, and user-agent, is stored. The configuration page offers quick access to manage and customize these settings, ensuring seamless data handling.
