## Description

FDN Newsletter Bridge connects a WordPress site to the FDN tools CRM (tools API 
v2). It collects newsletter signups from popular form plugins and keeps WordPress
user accounts in sync with CRM contacts.

**Newsletter signups**

 * Contact Form 7 — only the form IDs you explicitly whitelist
 * Mailchimp for WordPress (MC4WP) — forms and sign-up checkboxes
 * WPForms — only the form IDs you explicitly whitelist
 * Elementor Pro Forms — only the form names you explicitly whitelist
 * Any other source via the `fdn_nb_subscribe()` helper function

**WordPress user sync (optional)**

 * User registration creates a CRM contact (name, surname, email, billing phone)
 * Profile updates keep the contact up to date
 * User deletion permanently removes the contact from the CRM (GDPR right to erasure)
 * GDPR consent is recorded only when the visitor actively ticks a consent checkbox—
   never automatically
 * One-click initial sync for existing users, processed in batches

**Reliability**

 * All operations go through a database queue with automatic retries and exponential
   backoff — nothing is lost during API downtime
 * A database-level lock guarantees a single queue processor at a time (no duplicate
   contacts)
 * Self-chaining background processing that also works on hosts where WP-Cron never
   fires
 * Test mode: everything is logged, nothing is sent
 * A permanent local subscriber archive that survives plugin uninstallation

**REST API**

The plugin also exposes a read endpoint for your own tooling: `GET /wp-json/fdn-
nb/v1/subscribers` (protected by an API key header) with pagination and incremental
sync support.

This plugin communicates with the external service tools.fedenet.gr (FDN tools CRM)
to synchronise contacts. Data sent includes the subscriber e-mail address and, for
user sync, name, surname and phone number. An API key issued by the FDN tools administrator
is required.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin through Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin, or copy the folder to`/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Go to Settings  Newsletter Bridge, enter the API key issued from FDN tools and 
    press “Check”.
 4. Pick the CRM categories for each flow, whitelist your newsletter forms, and disable
    test mode when ready.

## FAQ

### Does it send data to an external service?

Yes. Contacts are synchronised with the FDN tools CRM (tools.fedenet.gr) using the
API key you configure. Nothing is sent while test mode is enabled or while no API
key is set.

### Which forms are captured?

Only the forms you explicitly whitelist in the settings (CF7/WPForms IDs, Elementor
form names). Contact forms are deliberately ignored unless whitelisted, to avoid
processing personal data without consent.

### What happens when a user is deleted?

The linked CRM contact is permanently deleted together with all its contact items(
GDPR right to erasure).
