<h4>Core Features</h4>
Drag & Drop Form Builder 
Build forms visually without writing a single line of code. Drag fields from the sidebar, reorder them, and configure each one instantly.
AJAX Form Submission 
Forms submit without a full page reload, giving visitors a smooth, fast experience.
Entries Management 
Every submission is stored in your WordPress database. View, filter, read, and delete entries from the BoldForm > Entries page. Mark entries as read, unread, or spam.
Email Notifications 
Automatically send an admin notification on every submission. Configure a custom “From” name, reply-to address, subject, and message body. Test email delivery directly from the settings panel.
Reports & Analytics 
A built-in reports dashboard shows total forms, total entries, and per-form performance stats using the browser’s native HTML5 Canvas chart — no external library required.
Export & Import 
Export all forms, a single form with its entries, or global settings as a JSON file. Import everything back with one click — great for moving between environments.
Multi-Step Forms 
Divide long forms into steps using the Section Break field. Display a progress bar, step indicators, or headings. Fully style the Next/Previous buttons and progress colors.
Conditional Logic 
Show or hide any field based on the visitor’s previous answers. Supports AND/OR logic rules per field.
Form Templates 
Start from a pre-built template instead of a blank form. Pick a template during form creation and customise from there.
Translation Ready 
All strings are internationalised using the <code>boldform-lite</code> text domain, ready for translation with any standard WordPress translation workflow.
Multisite Compatible 
Tables are created automatically for each new subsite when the plugin is network-activated.

<h3>Bundled Libraries</h3>
All JavaScript and CSS assets are bundled locally within the plugin directory. No scripts or styles are loaded from a CDN or any remote server except for the explicitly documented external services listed below.
Bundled third-party libraries:
<ul>
<li>Flatpickr (<code>assets/js/flatpickr.min.js</code>, <code>assets/css/flatpickr.min.css</code>) — MIT License — https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr 
Local copy used for the date and time picker fields. Not fetched from any CDN.</li>
</ul>
First-party scripts:
<ul>
<li><code>assets/js/sortable.js</code> — a small first-party drag-and-drop helper written for this plugin (used for field ordering in the builder). It is original BoldForm code, not the third-party SortableJS library, and is GPL-licensed with the rest of the plugin.</li>
</ul>
The submissions chart on the Reports page is rendered using the browser’s native HTML5 Canvas API. No external charting library is loaded.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin can optionally connect to the following third-party services. No data is transmitted to any external service unless you have explicitly enabled and configured that service in BoldForm settings.
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA</h4>
Protects forms from spam and bot submissions.
When a page containing a reCAPTCHA-enabled form is loaded, Google’s reCAPTCHA script is loaded from Google’s servers. On submission, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA token and the visitor’s IP address to Google’s verification API.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: reCAPTCHA response token, visitor IP address</li>
<li>When: Each form submission with reCAPTCHA enabled</li>
<li>Condition: Only when “Google reCAPTCHA” is selected in BoldForm > Settings > Captcha and valid keys are entered</li>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>hCaptcha</h4>
Privacy-friendly alternative for spam protection.
When a page with an hCaptcha-enabled form is loaded, the hCaptcha script is loaded from hCaptcha’s servers. On submission, the token and visitor IP are sent to hCaptcha’s verification API.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: hCaptcha response token, visitor IP address</li>
<li>When: Each form submission with hCaptcha enabled</li>
<li>Condition: Only when “hCaptcha” is selected in BoldForm > Settings > Captcha and valid keys are entered</li>
<li>Service provider: Intuition Machines, Inc.</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms</li>

<ul>
<li>Data sent: Email address, and optionally first name and last name (only fields you map)</li>
<li>When: Each submission of a form with an active Mailchimp integration</li>
<li>Condition: Only when a Mailchimp connection with a valid API key is configured under BoldForm > Settings > Integrations</li>
<li>Service provider: The Rocket Science Group LLC (Mailchimp)</li>
<li>Terms of Use: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
When a visitor submits a form, BoldForm Lite stores the submission in your site’s own database (no data is sent anywhere unless you have configured one of the external services listed above). Each stored entry includes:
<ul>
<li>The values the visitor entered in the form fields (which may include personal data such as name, email address, phone number, address, and any uploaded files).</li>
<li>The submitter’s IP address and browser user-agent string, recorded for spam-prevention and auditing.</li>
<li>The logged-in user ID, when the form is submitted by a logged-in user.</li>
</ul>
Entries are retained until you delete them. You can remove individual entries (or all of them) from BoldForm > Entries at any time. If you enable “Remove all data on uninstall” in the settings, all stored forms and entries are deleted when the plugin is uninstalled.
BoldForm Lite integrates with WordPress’s built-in privacy tools: under Tools > Export Personal Data and Tools > Erase Personal Data, an administrator can export or erase the form entries associated with a given email address to help fulfil data-subject requests.
BoldForm – Drag & Drop Form Builder uses <a href="https://appsero.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Appsero</a> SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.
Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.
Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.

Auto Form Builder is a powerful, fully free WordPress form plugin that gives you everything you need to create professional forms — without touching a single line of code.
Whether you’re building a simple contact form, a multi-step feedback form, a file upload form, or a complex form with conditional logic, Auto Form Builder handles it all from an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Every feature listed below is included in the free plugin. No upsells hidden behind core functionality.
<h4>Why Auto Form Builder?</h4>
Most form plugins lock their best features behind expensive subscriptions. Auto Form Builder gives you conditional logic, form analytics, spam protection, submission management, webhooks, import/export, and full visual customization — all completely free.
<h4>Drag & Drop Form Builder</h4>
Building a form takes minutes. Open the builder, drag your fields onto the canvas, and you’re done. The builder supports undo/redo, a live preview with desktop, tablet, and mobile views, and instant shortcode generation so you can embed your form anywhere on your site.
<h4>10+ Field Types</h4>
Every common field type is included:
<ul>
<li>Text Input</li>
<li>Textarea</li>
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Number</li>
<li>Date & Time</li>
<li>Checkbox</li>
<li>Radio Buttons</li>
<li>Dropdown</li>
<li>Name Field</li>
<li>Address</li>
<li>File Upload</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pre-Built Templates</h4>
Start faster with ready-to-use form templates including Contact Form, Feedback Form, Support Request, Newsletter Signup, Event Registration, and more. Every template is fully customizable after creation.
<h4>Conditional Logic</h4>
Show or hide any field based on what a user has already entered. Set multiple conditions per field using AND or OR logic. Build smart, dynamic forms that adapt to each visitor — all without any code.
<h4>Full Visual Customization</h4>
Make your forms match your brand perfectly. The Customize tab gives you control over:
<ul>
<li>Theme presets — Corporate, Minimal, Modern, Eco, Friendly, Luxury, Neutral, Creative, Feminine, Fresh, and more</li>
<li>Header image / banner per form</li>
<li>Background, colors, fonts, layout</li>
<li>Field styling and button design</li>
<li>Visual effects</li>
</ul>
Every change is previewed live across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
<h4>Submission Management</h4>
All your form submissions are organized in a clean inbox-style interface with Unread, Starred, Read, Spam, and Trash tabs. Search submissions by any field value — name, email, phone, or any custom field. Filter by form or date range, sort by newest or oldest, and print submissions directly from the dashboard.
<h4>Email Notifications</h4>
Get notified instantly when a form is submitted. Admin notification emails and user confirmation emails are both supported and fully configurable per form.
<h4>Form Analytics (Built-In Add-On)</h4>
Track exactly how your forms are performing. The analytics dashboard shows total views, total submissions, average conversion rate, and per-form breakdowns — all with a 30-day activity chart. Sync historical submissions, and reset data anytime. Form analytics is included free and activatable from the Add-Ons page.
<h4>Spam Protection (Built-In Add-Ons)</h4>
Two spam protection options are included free:
<ul>
<li>Google reCAPTCHA — industry-standard bot protection</li>
<li>Cloudflare Turnstile — a privacy-first, user-friendly CAPTCHA alternative with a better experience for real visitors</li>
</ul>
Both are activatable from the Add-Ons page. Use one or both on any form.
<h4>Import & Export</h4>
Export your forms and entries for backup or migration. Import forms onto any WordPress site in seconds. Perfect for agencies managing multiple client sites.
<h4>Webhooks</h4>
Connect your forms to any external service or automation platform using built-in webhook support. Send submission data to Zapier, Make, or any custom endpoint the moment a form is submitted.
<h4>Extend with Paid Add-Ons</h4>
The free plugin is complete and fully functional on its own. For teams and agencies that want to go further, <a href="https://autoformbuilder.com/addons/" rel="nofollow ugc">premium add-ons are available</a> to extend specific functionality.
<h4>Auto Form CRM Integration</h4>
Auto Form Builder integrates natively with Auto Form CRM, a dedicated <a href="https://autoformcrm.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress CRM</a> plugin built for managing leads and form submissions in one place.
<h4>Try It Before You Install</h4>

</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
Auto Form Builder is privacy-first. By default the plugin does not contact any external service. The following optional services are off by default and only ever run after you actively opt in:
Anonymous Deactivation Feedback (opt-in, one-time)
<ul>
<li>Service: Auto Form Builder feedback endpoint</li>
<li>Endpoint: https://autoformbuilder.com/afb-deactivation-feedback.php</li>
<li>Provider: Auto Form Builder (https://autoformbuilder.com/)</li>
<li>When it is contacted: Only when an administrator clicks the “Submit & Deactivate” button inside the optional feedback dialog that appears when deactivating the plugin from the WordPress plugins screen. Clicking “Skip & Deactivate”, closing the dialog, pressing Escape, or not deactivating the plugin sends nothing at all.</li>
<li>Data that is sent: the reason you selected, your optional short free-text explanation (capped at 1000 characters), your WordPress version, your PHP version, the Auto Form Builder plugin version, and your site locale.</li>
<li>Data that is NOT sent: site URL, administrator name or email, user ID, IP address, or any form / submission data. The User-Agent of the request is overridden to a neutral string so the request does not embed the site URL.</li>
<li>Purpose: To help us understand why users deactivate the plugin and prioritise improvements accordingly.</li>
<li>Transparency: The exact JSON payload that will be sent is shown inside the feedback dialog (via the “See exactly what we send” toggle) before any data leaves your server.</li>
<li>Provider terms / privacy policy: https://autoformbuilder.com/</li>
</ul>
Anonymous Usage Data (opt-in, off by default)
<ul>
<li>Service: Auto Form Builder telemetry endpoint</li>
<li>Endpoint: https://autoformbuilder.com/afb-telemetry.php</li>
<li>Provider: Auto Form Builder (https://autoformbuilder.com/)</li>
<li>When it is contacted: Only if you enable “Help improve Auto Form Builder by sending anonymous usage data” in the onboarding screen or under Settings → General. While enabled, the plugin sends a one-time “install” event when you opt in and an “uninstall” event when the plugin is deleted. If you never opt in, nothing is ever sent. You can turn it off again at any time in Settings, which stops all further requests.</li>
<li>Data that is sent: a randomly generated anonymous site ID (created locally, not derived from your URL), the plugin / WordPress / PHP / MySQL versions, the plugin version present at install, your site locale, whether the site is multisite, the number of days since install, the approximate number of forms and submissions expressed as ranges (never exact counts), which Auto Form Builder add-ons are active, and whether onboarding was completed.</li>
<li>Data that is NOT sent: site URL, administrator name or email, user ID, IP address, or any form / submission content.</li>
<li>Purpose: To measure how many installations are removed over time (the uninstall rate) and understand which environments and usage levels correlate with users leaving, so we can prioritise improvements.</li>
<li>Transparency: The full list of what is and is not collected is shown next to the opt-in checkbox (“What we collect”) before you enable it.</li>
<li>Provider terms / privacy policy: https://autoformbuilder.com/privacy/</li>
