Description
Contact Form 7 is an incredible tool, but by default it does not store form submissions in the WordPress database. If an email delivery issue occurs, valuable leads and form submissions may be lost.
TimAddons – Submission Log & Automation for Contact Form 7 addresses this by automatically logging form submissions into a dedicated, secure custom MySQL database table. It also provides a modern WordPress admin dashboard using jQuery DataTables to search, sort, filter, and manage submitted data efficiently.
This plugin is an independent extension for Contact Form 7 and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Contact Form 7 project.
Free Features
- Automatic Database Logging: Captures Contact Form 7 submissions and stores them in a dedicated database table.
- Modern Admin Dashboard: View, search, filter, sort, and paginate submissions using an integrated jQuery DataTables interface.
- Lightweight Footprint: Uses a dedicated custom MySQL table instead of storing submission data in
wp_postmeta. - Developer Friendly: Built using native WordPress functions and hooks.
Premium Features (Upgrade Available)
- Asynchronous API Syncing: Offload external API synchronization to background queues using Action Scheduler so external API requests do not block form submissions.
- Google Sheets API Integration: Automatically synchronize form submission data with Google Sheets.
- OAuth Account Connection: Securely authenticate and authorize Google accounts from your WordPress dashboard.
- Automated Failure Recovery: Background workers can automatically retry failed API synchronization attempts when external services are temporarily unavailable.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?
-
Yes. TimAddons – Submission Log & Automation for Contact Form 7 requires the Contact Form 7 plugin to be installed and activated. This plugin extends Contact Form 7 by providing submission logging, management, and automation features.
-
Does this plugin slow down form submissions?
-
The free version stores submissions locally in a custom MySQL table without making external API requests. Premium integrations use background processing so external API synchronization can happen separately from the visitor’s form submission request.
-
Where can I find the saved form entries?
-
Once activated, a CF7 Submissions menu item will appear in your WordPress admin sidebar. From there, you can view and manage stored Contact Form 7 submissions.
-
Is this plugin compliant with GDPR/data privacy laws?
-
The free version stores submission data on your own WordPress website and does not transmit submission data to third-party services.
When premium integrations are enabled, submission data may be transmitted to connected third-party services such as Google Sheets or CRM platforms. Site owners are responsible for configuring these integrations appropriately and ensuring their use complies with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
