<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to one external service: <strong>fantasticforms.com</strong>, operated by Fantastic Forms.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Embedding forms (front-end iframe)</strong> — When a visitor loads a page that contains the Fantastic Forms block or <code>[fantastic_form id="…"]</code> shortcode, their browser loads <code>https://fantasticforms.com/f/<form_id></code> inside an iframe. The plugin itself does not transmit any data; the iframe behaves like any other embedded form. Submissions go directly from the visitor’s browser to fantasticforms.com and are governed by the form’s own settings.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Listing your forms in the block editor (optional, Pro only)</strong> — When you paste a Pro API key under <em>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Fantastic Forms</em> and the API key is non-empty, the plugin calls <code>GET https://fantasticforms.com/api/v1/forms</code> so the block editor’s dropdown can list your forms. The request is authenticated with the API key you provided and sends no data about your site, your visitors, or your WordPress installation. The response is cached for 5 minutes in a WordPress transient. If you do not save an API key, no external request is ever made by the plugin itself.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Use of the fantasticforms.com service is governed by Fantastic Forms’ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:</p>

Embed Fantastic Forms — typeforms, surveys, calculators, payment forms, schedulers — anywhere on your WordPress site with a block or shortcode.

<p><strong>FlowForms is a self-hosted conversational form builder for WordPress.</strong></p>
<p>Most contact form plugins give you a wall of fields. FlowForms gives your visitors a <em>conversation</em>. One question at a time, guided and focused — the result is higher completion rates, better responses, and a user experience that feels modern and intentional.</p>
<p>Whether you’re collecting leads, running surveys, gathering testimonials, or building customer feedback forms, FlowForms delivers an interactive form experience that lives on <em>your</em> server, under <em>your</em> control, with no monthly subscription.</p>

<h4>Conversational, Step-by-Step Forms</h4>
<p>Our conversational form plugin enables you to create engaging, Typeform-style interactive forms that guide users through a seamless question-by-question experience. This reduces overwhelm, keeps respondents focused, and improves form completion rates compared to traditional multi-field forms.</p>
<p>Every form flows through three stages:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Welcome Screen</strong> — customisable title, description, start button, and background image</li>
<li><strong>Questions</strong> — any combination of 8 field types, drag-to-reorder</li>
<li><strong>Thank You Screen</strong> — closing message with optional redirect URL, delay, and social share buttons</li>
</ul>
<h4>Drag & Drop Form Builder</h4>
<p>Build any form in minutes without touching a line of code. The intuitive React-powered drag-and-drop builder lets you add, reorder, and configure questions visually. What you build is exactly what your visitors see.</p>
<h4>8 Ready-to-Use Field Types</h4>
<p>FlowForms ships with all the essentials:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Short Text</strong> — single-line text input</li>
<li><strong>Long Text</strong> — multi-line paragraph / textarea</li>
<li><strong>Multiple Choice</strong> — single-select with optional “Other” answer</li>
<li><strong>Checkboxes</strong> — multi-select with min/max limits and optional “Other” answer</li>
<li><strong>Rating</strong> — star rating with configurable max stars and shape</li>
<li><strong>Yes / No</strong> — two-button question with customisable labels</li>
<li><strong>Email</strong> — with format validation and optional confirm-email mode</li>
<li><strong>Number</strong> — numeric input with optional min/max validation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Beautiful Design Customisation</h4>
<p>Every form is independently styled with a live design panel. Customise:</p>
<ul>
<li>Background colour</li>
<li>Title, description, answer, hint, field, and button colours</li>
<li>Button hover colour and text</li>
<li>Star rating colour</li>
<li>Layout alignment: left or centered</li>
<li>Border radius: angular, rounded, or full</li>
<li>Google Fonts</li>
<li>Font size: small, regular, or large</li>
</ul>
<p>Forms look great on every device — FlowForms is fully responsive and mobile-ready.</p>
<h4>Flexible Embed Options</h4>
<p>Embed your forms anywhere in WordPress using your preferred method:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shortcode:</strong> <code>[flowform id="123"]</code></li>
<li><strong>Gutenberg Block:</strong> native <code>FlowForm</code> block — drag it straight into the editor</li>
<li><strong>Full-Page URL:</strong> <code>/flowform/{id}</code> — share a direct link to a distraction-free form page</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pre-Built Form Templates</h4>
<p>Get started in seconds with 4 ready-to-use templates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form</li>
<li>Lead Generation Survey</li>
<li>Customer Feedback</li>
<li>Testimonial Form</li>
</ul>
<h4>Submission Management</h4>
<p>Every submission is stored securely in your WordPress database. The built-in entries dashboard gives you full control:</p>
<ul>
<li>Paginated list with search and sorting</li>
<li>Individual entry detail view</li>
<li>Bulk actions: mark read/unread, star, trash, delete permanently</li>
<li>Status filters: All, Starred, Spam, Trash</li>
<li>Unread count badge in the admin menu</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Notifications</h4>
<p>Get notified the moment someone submits your form. Configure the recipient, subject, sender name, reply-to address, and message body — all with smart tag support.</p>
<p><strong>Available smart tags:</strong> <code>{admin_email}</code>, <code>{site_name}</code>, <code>{form_name}</code>, <code>{all_fields}</code></p>
<h4>Built-In Spam Protection</h4>
<p>Three layers of anti-spam run automatically on every submission — no CAPTCHA plugins required:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Honeypot field</strong> — invisible to humans, catches bots</li>
<li><strong>Rotating server-side token</strong> — tied to each form, refreshed daily</li>
<li><strong>Akismet integration</strong> — if Akismet is active, submissions are checked automatically; spam entries are flagged and saved for review</li>
</ol>
<h4>Multilingual Ready</h4>
<p>Every user-facing string — button labels, validation messages, placeholders, error messages — is customisable from the Global Settings panel. No translation plugin needed to adapt FlowForms for any language.</p>
<h4>FlowForms Pro (Coming Soon)</h4>
<p>We are actively researching the features users most want. The Pro version will be a self-hosted annual licence that extends the free plugin without replacing it.</p>
<p>Candidate Pro features under research:</p>
<ul>
<li>Conditional logic (show/hide questions based on answers)</li>
