## Description

BragDeal Lead Manager stores a normalized copy of new lead submissions in dedicated
database tables. It is intentionally focused on lead display and management. It 
contains no spam scoring, spam logs, CAPTCHA controls, CRM integrations, outbound
messaging, or marketing automation.

Supported providers:
 * Contact Form 7 * MetForm * Elementor Pro Forms * Gravity
Forms * WPForms, including Lite when wpforms_process_complete supplies submitted
fields * Fluent Forms * Ninja Forms

Free includes unlimited lead capture, a combined inbox, search, status/date filters,
pagination, per-user custom columns, field mapping, basic lead editing, unread alerts,
original submission snapshots, Trash/restore, role access and form capture controls.
Its three-dot menu separates Edit/Delete from CRM actions, which link to Pro when
locked.

BragDeal Lead Manager Pro is a separate licensed add-on. It unlocks internal notes,
Called/Follow Up/Booked/Lost actions, follow-up and booking dates, lost reasons,
bulk status updates and CRM date columns. Free must remain active alongside Pro.
A Free/Pro badge identifies the current edition; installing and activating the add-
on exposes Leads > License.

Previously saved CRM data is preserved when returning to Free. Basic field edits
in Free cannot reset saved status, dates or notes. Existing notes remain readable.
Free does not contact a licensing server.

### Historical Imports

Gravity Forms historical entries are imported using GFAPI in small AJAX batches.
WPForms historical entries can be imported when its documented entry API is available(
normally paid versions that store entries). Fluent Forms historical entries can 
be imported through its documented Submission model when available. All imports 
skip duplicates.

Elementor Pro Forms, MetForm, and Ninja Forms remain capture-only because this build
does not rely on undocumented internal entry storage. Contact Form 7 itself does
not store entries. If Flamingo is present, BragDeal Lead Manager explains the limitation
rather than relying on undocumented Flamingo internals.

### Privacy / Data Storage

Lead data is stored in site-scoped custom WordPress database tables. The plugin 
stores the submitted lead fields needed for lead management plus source form metadata,
an immutable original snapshot, internal notes, and action history. It excludes 
common nonce, CAPTCHA, password, payment-card, honeypot, and technical control fields.
It does not send lead data to an external service.

WordPress Tools > Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data include leads matching
a stored or original submitted email address. Export is paginated. Erasure deletes
the matching lead and its fields, original snapshot, notes and history; the source
form plugin may retain an independent copy.

By default, data is retained indefinitely and retained when the plugin is uninstalled.
Administrators can change both behaviours in Leads > Settings.

## Installation

Upgrading from BragDeal Leads or All-In-One Leads CRM 1.2.3: first keep the delete-
on-uninstall setting OFF, deactivate Pro and the old plugin, then remove the old
plugin before installing this renamed Free plugin. Existing lead tables, settings
and the cleanup schedule are migrated to the new storage names automatically on 
first load. Install this Free release and reactivate the compatible Pro add-on. 
Do not activate both old and renamed Free plugins together.
 1. Upload bragdeal-
lead-manager-1.2.4.zip in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate BragDeal
Lead Manager. 3. Open Leads > Forms and click Rescan Forms. 4. Review detected field
mappings and capture settings. 5. Open Leads > Settings to configure rows, retention,
uninstall behaviour, and role access. 6. To upgrade, install BragDeal Lead Manager
Pro 1.2.4 alongside Free and enter the matching License Hub key under Leads > License.
7. If you previously installed BragDeal Leads under the bragdeal-leads folder, follow
the migration paragraph above before installing this renamed plugin.

## FAQ

### Does this replace my form plugin?

No. It listens to supported successful-submission hooks and does not change the 
source form workflow.

### Does it capture old leads automatically?

No. Gravity Forms, WPForms (when its stored-entry API is available), and Fluent 
Forms provide historical import support. Other integrations capture new successful
submissions after activation.

### Does it include spam protection?

No. Spam management is deliberately outside this plugin.

### What happens if a form plugin is deactivated?

Previously captured BragDeal Lead Manager data remains available because it is stored
independently.

### Are original submissions changed when a lead is edited?

No. Working field values can be edited, while the original snapshot remains immutable.

## Changelog

   bdlm_ prefix, with automatic migration of existing data.

#### 1.2.3

 * Interim rename release, superseded by 1.2.4.

#### 1.2.2

 * Added WordPress personal-data export and erasure for matching lead records, including
   original snapshots, notes and history.

   with invalidation on every plugin mutation.

   arguments, and Fluent Forms ORM discovery/imports.

   capability restoration and large-network pagination.

 * Corrected localization, metadata and production package line endings.
