Instead of searching through different forms or dealing with raw database records, you can view your **Contact Form 7 forms first**, select a form, and then view the submissions belonging to that specific form. ### Features * 📋 **List all Contact Form 7 forms** * 📥 **View submissions by form** * 📄 **Export all entries for a form or one individual entry as CSV** * 🔢 **Submission count for each form** * 🗃️ **Store submissions in a dedicated database table** * 🆔 **Associate submissions with the Contact Form 7 form ID** * 🕒 **Record submission date and time** * 🎨 **Clean and modern WordPress admin interface** * 📱 **Responsive admin layout** * 🔒 **WordPress capability-based admin access** * ⚡ **Lightweight and simple** * 🧩 **Works with existing Contact Form 7 forms** * 🛠️ **No complicated configuration required** ### How It Works = 1.
