Description
Most form plugins email you a submission and forget about it. Plynto stores every submission in your own database and turns it into something you can actually read: how many leads came in today, this month, and in total; which form produced them; and which page or project they came from.
Everything renders as lightweight server-side SVG — no charting library, no external requests, no data leaving your site.
What you get
- Dashboard with total / this month / today / unread counters
- Leads-by-channel donut chart — Google Ads, Facebook / Instagram, organic search, referral, direct and more
- Lead pipeline: move every lead through New Contacted Qualified Won / Lost
- Private notes on each lead — calls, site visits, follow-ups — with author and time
- Leads-by-form donut chart with clickable legend
- 30-day trend graph
- Leads-by-page (source) donut chart
- Form x Page breakdown matrix — every cell links to that filtered view
- Lead inbox with search, form, page, stage and channel filters, date range, and pagination
- Single lead view with all submitted fields, file attachments, page URL, IP, browser and traffic source
- Bulk mark-as-read, bulk move-to-stage and bulk delete
- CSV export that respects your current filters, including stage, channel and UTM columns
- Unread badge in the admin menu
Source tracking
Leads are tagged with the page they were submitted from — including forms inside popups, modals and shortcodes, where the referring page is normally lost. That makes it possible to see which landing page or project is actually producing enquiries.
Ad and campaign tracking
A small first-party script remembers how each visitor arrived — UTM tags (source, medium, campaign, keyword, content), Google, Facebook and Microsoft click IDs, the referring website and the landing page — and attaches it to the lead when a form is submitted, even if that happens pages later. Each lead is then assigned a channel, so you can see at a glance whether Google Ads or Facebook is actually producing enquiries. Both the first visit and the visit that led to the enquiry are kept.
This uses one cookie, plynto_attr, for 90 days. It can be switched off under Leads Settings, or controlled by a consent plugin through the plynto_attribution_enabled filter.
Form plugin support
This free version supports Contact Form 7. The optional paid add-on adds WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Forms and Fluent Forms capture, instant email alerts, outgoing webhooks, scheduled summaries, and an inbound endpoint that receives leads from Google Ads lead forms, or from Facebook Lead Ads through Zapier, Make or Pabbly, into the same inbox.
Your data stays yours
Leads, notes and traffic-source data are stored in tables in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to any external service. Uploaded files are copied into your own uploads folder before Contact Form 7 deletes its temporary copies.
A note on the name
“Plynto” is a coined word invented by the author for this plugin. It is not a company, an organisation or a registered brand, and the plugin does not declare or claim any domain or website. This is a personal project by Mayur Patil.
This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor or Fluent Forms. Those names appear only to describe which form plugins submissions can be read from, and all trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/, or install it from Plugins Add New. - Activate the plugin.
- Go to Leads Settings and confirm Contact Form 7 is ticked.
- Submissions received from that point on appear under Leads.
FAQ
-
Does it import my old submissions?
-
No. Leads are captured from the moment the plugin is active. Existing submissions stored by another plugin are not read.
-
Does deactivating the plugin delete my leads?
-
No. Deactivating changes nothing. Even deleting the plugin keeps your data unless you tick “Delete all stored leads” in Leads Settings first.
-
Does it work with forms inside popups or shortcodes?
-
Yes. A hidden field records the page the form was rendered on, so the source page is still correct when the referring URL is not.
-
Where are uploaded files stored?
-
In
wp-content/uploads/plynto-leads/YYYY/MM/. Contact Form 7 deletes its own temporary uploads after sending, so the plugin copies them first. -
Does the plugin send anything to an external server?
-
No. The free version makes no outbound requests at all.
-
How is a lead’s channel decided?
-
From the visit that led to the enquiry: a Google click ID or a paid Google UTM means Google Ads; a Facebook click ID, a Facebook / Instagram UTM or referrer means Facebook / Instagram; a search engine referrer means organic search; any other website means referral; and no campaign or referrer means direct. Leads captured before version 0.4.0, or with tracking switched off, show as “Not tracked”.
-
Yes, one first-party cookie called
plynto_attr, kept for 90 days, holding only campaign parameters, the referring site and the landing page — no name, email or other form data. Suggested wording for your privacy policy is added to Settings Privacy Policy Guide. If your visitors must opt in to marketing cookies, switch tracking off in Leads Settings or connect it to your consent plugin with theplynto_attribution_enabledfilter. -
What is the difference between “Unread” and the “New” stage?
-
Unread only means nobody has opened the lead yet. The stage is your sales progress: a lead stays at New until you mark it Contacted, Qualified, Won or Lost.
