FormVue — Lead Capture

FormVue lets you add lead capture widgets to any page on your WordPress site. There are four independent widgets — pick the one you need and configure only its options:

• Inline button — a button that transforms into a phone number input.
• Modal — a trigger button that opens the form in a popup.
• Contact — an embedded contact form rendered directly on the page.
• Content — a coupon-gated content flow.

After a visitor submits, they receive an SMS with a personalized link to your FormVue video form.

You need a free FormVue account at formvue.com to obtain a Form ID.

Features:

• Four independent widgets — inline button, modal, contact form, content (coupon) — each with only its relevant options
• Works with Gutenberg, Elementor, and any builder that accepts shortcodes (Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, etc.)
• Shortcodes: [fvlc_inline], [fvlc_modal], [fvlc_contact], [fvlc_content]
• Four native Gutenberg blocks, each with a live visual preview
• Four Elementor widgets with drag & drop
• Global default settings in WP Admin
• Customizable colors, sizes, variants, and borders
• Campaign / UTM attribution and query-param passthrough
• Mobile-friendly (renders as a link on mobile devices)
• The widget runtime is bundled inside the plugin — no external script loader

External services

This plugin connects to the FormVue service (operated by FormVue) to capture and process leads. This connection is required for the plugin’s core functionality — without it, submitted forms cannot be delivered.

What is sent, and when:

• When a widget is shown, an impression event and, on interaction, a click event are sent to https://formvue.com (proxied to FormVue’s API). Each event includes the configured Form ID, optional campaign/UTM attribution, the page URL, page title, referrer, and screen width.
• When a visitor submits the form (e.g. a phone number or contact fields), those values are sent to https://formvue.com to create a lead and trigger the SMS/email with the personalized form link.
• The widget logo image is loaded from https://api.formvue.com.

No data is sent until a widget actually renders on a page. The plugin itself loads no JavaScript from any third-party server — the widget runtime ships inside the plugin.

Third-party libraries

The widget runtime bundled in build/sdk/ is compiled from the open-source FormVue Embed SDK and includes the following libraries, all under the MIT license (GPL-compatible):

• Preact and @preact/signals — https://preactjs.com (MIT)
• @formisch/preact — https://github.com/fabian-hiller/formisch (MIT)
• valibot — https://valibot.dev (MIT)
• openapi-fetch — https://github.com/openapi-ts/openapi-typescript (MIT)
• Tailwind CSS — https://tailwindcss.com (MIT)

Source code

This plugin ships some minified JavaScript. The complete, un-minified source for every compiled file is included inside this plugin, and can be rebuilt with standard tools.

Gutenberg blocks — build/blocks/{inline,modal,contact,content}/index.js

• Source: the blocks/ folder (React/JSX, built with @wordpress/scripts).
• Rebuild, from the plugin folder: npm install then npm run build:blocks.

Widget runtime (SDK) — build/sdk/formvue-{inline,modal,contact,content}.js

• Source: the sdk-src/ folder (TypeScript + Preact + Tailwind CSS, built with Vite).
• Rebuild: cd sdk-src then npm install then
  FORMVUE_API_URL=https://api.formvue.com FORMVUE_SHARE_URL=https://formvue.com npm run build:cdn
  (without those variables the build targets localhost, which is the development default).
• The API type definitions in sdk-src/src/shared/api/v1.d.ts are generated from FormVue’s public OpenAPI schema with the openapi-typescript tool; they are type-only declarations and contain no runtime code.

The bundled libraries listed under “Third-party libraries” (Preact, @preact/signals, @formisch/preact, valibot, openapi-fetch, Tailwind CSS) are all MIT-licensed.
