Neutrope Lead Desk for Contact Form 7

Neutrope Lead Desk for Contact Form 7 captures every Contact Form 7 submission into a dedicated database table and provides a simple WordPress admin interface for managing those submissions as leads.

The free version is intentionally focused: it saves submissions reliably, gives you an admin list/detail UI, lets you change status, add internal notes, and export to CSV. It does this without pulling in external services, trackers, or upsell banners on unrelated screens.

Key features

• Automatic capture of every Contact Form 7 submission into a dedicated table ({prefix}nldcf7_entries)
• The full submission payload is always stored as JSON, so nothing you asked users to type is lost
• Mapped columns for name, email, phone, and company are extracted automatically using a configurable candidate list
• Admin list screen with filtering by keyword, status, form, and date range, plus bulk actions (status change, trash, mark spam)
• Detail screen with all submitted fields, submission metadata, status management, and internal team notes
• CSV export (UTF-8 with BOM, CRLF) with date/status/form/spam filters — streamed in chunks for large datasets
• Attachment metadata capture (file name, MIME type, size). The files themselves remain with Contact Form 7’s default handling
• Privacy-friendly defaults: IP capture is OFF by default
• Opt-in data deletion on uninstall (off by default so accidental deletes don’t nuke your leads)
• Extensibility via action/filter hooks: nldcf7_after_entry_saved, nldcf7_after_note_added, nldcf7_after_status_changed, nldcf7_entry_data_before_insert, nldcf7_export_columns, nldcf7_export_row, nldcf7_statuses, nldcf7_required_capability

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or later
• PHP 7.4 or later
• Contact Form 7 plugin installed and active

Does NOT include (outside the scope of the free version)

• Sending external notifications (Slack, Chatwork, email digests)
• Assignee / team routing
• Auto-follow-up reminders
• Analytics dashboards and reports beyond simple counters
• Storing actual uploaded file contents (only metadata is captured)

These may be considered for a future Pro release. The free plugin is designed to be fully useful on its own.
