Auto Form Builder

A powerful WordPress plugin for building professional forms with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

This plugin is a Contact Form 7 addon. It lets you save each CF7 forms submissions into a WordPress “Messages” post. 
This way, you’ll never lose a contact : if your SMTP server is down, the message will still be stored in your WordPress database.

Contact Form 7 To WordPress Post

Latest version of CF7 and WordPress doesn't seem to work with this plugin. It did create a "Messages" menu but there doesn't seem to be any configuration options and sending a message with the form doesn't save anything. Looks to be abandoned.



Doesn't save messages

Extend Contact Form 7 and save form entries into WordPress posts.
