Features: * Visitor form with name and email, optional phone, optional Short Message( up to 300 characters), and an optional marketing-email consent checkbox. * A shortcode for website visitors and in-person QR landing pages. * A visitor directory with statuses and internal follow-up notes. * Administrator CSV export and per-visitor deletion. * Optional email notifications using the site’s WordPress email configuration.* Branding and mobile-responsive form styling. WordPress email acceptance does not guarantee inbox delivery. A properly configured email-sending service may be required. The plugin generates QR images locally in your browser using the saved public connection page URL. Download a PNG for everyday use or an SVG for large-format printing. The plugin does not require an external service to collect visitor details. This free version does not connect to Brevo or another email automation provider. ### Privacy The plugin stores submitted names, email addresses, optional phone numbers, optional visitor messages, the email-updates consent selection, submission source, follow- up status, internal notes, and submission date in the church’s WordPress database. Its privacy-policy suggestion can be reviewed under WordPress Settings > Privacy. An authorized administrator controls export and deletion. Visitor data is also available through the WordPress personal data export and erasure tools. When enabled, WordPress email notifications may be delivered through the site’s configured mail service. The plugin does not send submission data to the developer or Brevo. Each site operator should publish an accurate privacy notice, decide retention periods, and respond to applicable privacy requests. ### Source Code and Build Instructions The custom dashboard.js, qr-download.js and message-preview.js files in this plugin are provided as uncompressed, human-readable JavaScript source. The CSS files are also uncompressed source. No npm, webpack, compiler, or minification step is required. The bundled qr-vendor.js uses the human-readable QRCode for JavaScript library by Kazuhiko Arase. Original source: https://github.com/kazuhikoarase/qrcode-generator The upstream distribution is available at https://github.com/gtanner/qrcode-terminal Licensing details are included in QR-LICENSES.txt and QR-APACHE-LICENSE.txt. ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Open Church Follow-Up > Branding & Forms and configure the church name and privacy policy URL. 3. Create a public page with [ecd_followup_form]. 4. Save your published form page URL under Branding & Forms to generate and download your QR code. Optionally use [ecd_followup_form source=”qr”] on a separate page to label those submissions as QR visitors. 5. Open Church Follow-Up > Visitors to view, export, or delete records. 6. Open Welcome Messages to configure and test WordPress email delivery. New installations begin with automatic messages disabled. A successful send test is required before turning them on; confirm the test message arrives in your inbox. ## FAQ ### Is a Brevo account required? No. The free plugin stores submissions in the church’s WordPress database. ### Are email notifications guaranteed? No. WordPress mail delivery depends on the site’s mail configuration and host/provider. ### Does the plugin generate QR images? Yes. Enter and save the public connection page URL under Branding & Forms to preview and download PNG or SVG QR codes. ### Where are visitor records stored? In a custom database table on the church’s WordPress installation. Administrators can export records or delete individual visitors in the plugin dashboard. Deactivation does not erase records. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “eChurch Digital Follow-Up” is open source software.
