<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>

<p>The plugin adds a new “Controls” tab for each Contact Form 7 form in the WordPress administration area.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<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>

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

Analytics, tracking, redirects and storage for Contact Form 7.

Pagemachine

<p>Pagemetrics for Matomo adds privacy-friendly, server-side analytics to WordPress by<br />
leveraging the <code>pagemachine/matomo-tracking</code> PHP library. When enabled, the<br />
plugin sends page view and optional download events from your WordPress site<br />
directly to a Matomo instance without loading Matomo’s JavaScript tracker.</p>
<p>Key benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Track page views on the server with full control over attributes such as title, URL and referrer.</li>
<li>Optional download tracking rewrites file links and records the click before redirecting visitors.</li>
<li>Multisite aware – network admins can define defaults, individual sites can override them.</li>
<li>Respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control headers through the underlying library.</li>
<li>Logs issues to the WordPress debug log when <code>WP_DEBUG</code> is enabled.</li>
</ul>
<p>Looking for expert help with Matomo or server-side tracking? <strong>Pagemachine</strong> offers<br />
consulting, implementation and ongoing support via our <strong>Pagemetrics</strong> solution.<br />
