Description
HelloForm lets you easily build a quote request form directly from the WordPress admin area.
You can:
– Add, remove, and reorder fields with a simple drag & drop interface.
– Choose between multiple field types: text, email, tel, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, date, number, privacy, submit.
– Set required fields.
– Send notifications to multiple recipients (To, CC, BCC).
– Enable Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection.
– Customize field labels and placeholders.
The form is added to your pages via shortcode:
[helloform]
All messages, errors, and confirmations are translatable.
External Services
This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA (version v2 “I’m not a robot” checkbox) to protect the forms from spam and automated abuse. This feature is optional and disabled by default until configured by the user in the plugin settings.
What data is sent and when:
When a form protected by reCAPTCHA is submitted, the plugin executes a server-side verification using the WordPress function wp_remote_post. This process sends the following data to Google’s API:
* The reCAPTCHA response token (g-recaptcha-response) generated by the client browser.
* The user’s IP address ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) for verification purposes.
The service is used only if the user has enabled the reCAPTCHA option in the plugin settings and attempts to submit a form.
