<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/" rel="ugc">Contact Form 7</a> version 4.3 or later for features related to submission tracking and redirects.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
The plugin adds a new “Controls” tab for each Contact Form 7 form in the WordPress administration area.
<h4>Form Submission Storage</h4>
Setup the official companion plugin <a href="https://preseto.com/go/cf7-storage?utm_source=wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">Storage for Contact Form 7 plugin</a> for capturing the form submissions safely in the WordPres database.
Alternatively, there is also a basic integration with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/" rel="ugc">TablePress plugin</a>. Select the TablePress table where to store the form submissions. The plugin will add any missing columns for each form field, and append the form entries as rows to the table. Additionally, fields <code>cf7_time</code> (submission time as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601" rel="nofollow ugc">ISO 8601</a>) and <code>cf7_url</code> (URL where the form was submitted) are stored along with the form data.

The plugin automatically triggers analytics events for the following services:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/topic/14088998" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Analytics (GA4)</a> using <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/9442095" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Tag Manager</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/gtagjs" rel="nofollow ugc">Global Tag (gtag.js)</a> with <code>ga()</code>, <code>_gaq.push()</code> and <code>dataLayer.push()</code> implementations,</li>

<li><a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-pixel/implementation/conversion-tracking" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook Pixel Conversion Tracking</a>.</li>
</ul>
It passes the following data with the event:
<ul>
<li>“Contact Form” as the event category,</li>
<li>“Submit”, “Sent”, “Error” or “Spam” as the event action, and</li>
<li>the form title as the event title.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Facebook Pixel</h4>
The <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-pixel/implementation/conversion-tracking#standard-events" rel="nofollow ugc">standard Contact event</a> is used for Facebook Pixel with <code>content_category</code> property set to the event type (Submit, Sent, Error, Spam) and <code>content_name</code> set to the form title.

Controls for Contact Form 7 (Redirects, Analytics & Tracking)

Works Great!!! Having issues with the Contact 7 Form sample code. Found this plugin which creates easy functionality. Thanks for making our lives easier!! 

Works Great!!

Very useful plugin!
I would love to see an Autocomplete Option to turn Autocomplete OFF for ALL forms. By default fields have Autocomplete ON. Although it's possible to change it by field attribute, I'd found it easier to have a global settings to disable Autocomplete for all forms.

Love to see Autocomplete Setting
