## Description

Kibi Forms is a free WordPress contact form builder with a lead inbox. Build contact,
quote request, callback and job application forms, then manage their entries in 
your WordPress dashboard.

Each entry is saved before notification emails are sent. If your site cannot send
an email, the entry stays in the Inbox and the email log shows the failure with 
a resend button.

Use conditional logic, multi-step forms, file uploads, CSV export and campaign tracking
without a Kibi account.

[Explore Kibi Forms for WordPress](https://kibihq.com/wordpress-forms/).

**All plugin features are free. No account is needed to build forms or manage entries.**

#### Build contact and lead forms

 * **Form recipes:** answer three questions — what your business does, what people
   contact you for, what you need to know before you reply — and get a ready form
   for your business (13 business types, 32 question packs), worded for your country.
 * **22 classic templates** if you’d rather start from one.
 * **Bring your forms over:** import a Contact Form 7 or WPForms form, or copy the
   questions of any form on a public web page. You see the copy and anything that
   didn’t come across before it’s created.
 * **Builder:** 18 question types plus text blocks and dividers, drag and drop or
   keyboard (Alt +  / ), one page or several steps, half-width questions, a live
   preview that is the real form.
 * **Conditional logic** for questions, steps, notification emails and thank-you
   messages — in plain words (“Only if “Service” is Kitchen”).
 * **24 designs**, or your theme’s own look; your colour, field style and sizes.
 * **Thank-you options:** a message, a page or a link, different ones for different
   answers.
 * File uploads, stored privately (never at public addresses).
 * Schedule a form, limit its entries, or show it to logged-in people only.
 * A block and a shortcode.

#### Manage saved form entries

 * **An inbox for entries:** New, Read, Archived and Spam, stars, notes, search 
   and filters, print, CSV export of anything you can filter.
 * **Edit an entry** to fix a typo or add what they told you on the phone. The original
   answers are kept.
 * **Unfinished entries:** on forms with several steps, see what people entered 
   before they stopped.
 * **Email notifications** to several people, conditional emails, Reply goes to 
   the person who filled the form, an optional “we got it” email to them — and **
   Send me a test** on every email.
 * **An email log** that shows every email that didn’t send, in plain words, with
   one-click resend.
 * **“Did it arrive?”** — a test that checks your site can actually send email.
 * **Where each entry came from:** the page, and the ad campaign (UTM tags, Google
   and Meta click IDs) — without cookies.
 * **Insights:** views, starts and entries per form, where people stop, and where
   entries came from.
 * **A weekly summary email** (you choose who gets it).
 * **Integrations:** webhooks (Zapier, Make, n8n, with optional signing), Slack,
   Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, Mailchimp, Brevo and MailerLite. Choose
   what each form sends and when, send a test, and see every send in a log. Failed
   sends are retried for up to a week.

#### Spam protection, privacy and performance

 * Invisible spam protection (a hidden trap field, a timing check and a per-visitor
   limit), an optional question only people can answer, a block list, and optional
   Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha or Google reCAPTCHA. Spam is kept for you to check,
   never silently dropped.
 * Accessible forms that work even without JavaScript, and load only on pages that
   use them (about 7 KB of script and 4 KB of styles).
 * Privacy tools: personal-data export and erase, retention settings, and you choose
   what happens on uninstall.
 * Translation-ready.

#### Optional: connect Kibi

[Kibi](https://kibihq.com/) is a CRM for small teams. If you connect it, new entries
also go to Kibi, where the right person gets a WhatsApp or text alert, every lead
gets an owner and a follow-up reminder, and Google and Meta learn which leads became
customers. Kibi is a paid service with a 14-day free trial. Kibi Forms works fully
without it.

Already use Contact Form 7, WPForms or Fluent Forms? Once Kibi is connected, you
can send their new submissions to Kibi too — they keep working exactly as before.

Kibi Forms sometimes shows one small tip about Kibi on its own screens (for example
when an email didn’t send). Each can be dismissed, and Settings  Kibi turns them
all off.

### External services

Kibi Forms works fully on your own site. It connects to the services below only 
in the situations described. Optional services require their stated setup or your
explicit action. For each one, this says what is sent, when, and why. HTTP services
also receive ordinary connection information, such as the site server’s IP address
and request headers (WordPress’s default user agent can include the site address
and WordPress version).

**Kibi (kibihq.com)**: an optional inbox for your entries. Used only if you click“
Connect Kibi” on the plugin’s Kibi page.

 * When you click Connect: your site’s address and name, its WordPress admin-page
   address and the address of the plugin’s Kibi page (to bring you back), the WordPress
   and plugin versions, the site language, a random ID for this installation, your
   forms’ IDs and names, and a one-time security challenge are sent to api.kibihq.
   com to start the connection. You then sign in to Kibi in your browser, and your
   site sends the returned state, one-time code and matching proof to exchange them
   for its connection key.
 * After connecting: each new form entry is queued when it is saved, unless sending
   to Kibi is switched off for that form. Kibi receives the visible answers and 
   their question labels, the form name/ID/version, an entry ID and submission time,
   the referring site’s hostname, any captured ad tracking tags, and whether the
   entry is a test. Spam is never sent. Uploaded files stay on your site and are
   never sent.
 * Partly filled multi-step forms: only if that form saves answers step by step (
   the form’s Settings tab  “Save answers step by step”) and is switched on for 
   Kibi. Each saved step’s visible answers, progress and revision ID are queued,
   so Kibi holds the latest version of that entry.
 * Older entries: only complete, non-spam, non-test entries from the last 90 days
   are queued when you explicitly choose the import on the Kibi page. They use the
   same entry data and an import marker.
 * Forms from other plugins (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms): nothing is 
   sent unless you switch a form on, on the Kibi page. Then its new successful submissions
   send the answers, field labels, form title, plugin name and form reference, an
   entry ID and submission time. Spam, tests, failed submissions, files and password
   fields are never sent.
 * Connection status: while connected, opening the Kibi page asks Kibi for the connection’s
   status. Successful results are cached for 10 minutes; failed requests for one
   minute. The request sends your site’s connection ID, a timestamp and a signature
   made using its connection key; the secret key itself is not sent.
 * When you disconnect: one signed request tells Kibi to stop accepting entries 
   from your site. Entry sends also use the connection ID, timestamp and signature
   to authenticate; failed sends may be retried from the saved queue.
 * Visitor IP addresses are never sent.
 * Terms: https://kibihq.com/legal/service-terms/ · Privacy: https://kibihq.com/
   legal/privacy/

**Akismet**: spam checking, used only if the Akismet plugin is installed and set
up with its key. Eligible submissions, including saved steps of unfinished entries,
are checked through Akismet the way comments are: your site’s address, the text 
of the visible answers and the email address answer are sent to Akismet’s comment-
check service, to decide whether it is spam. File fields, including their private
upload tokens, are excluded. The configured Akismet key authenticates the request.

 * Terms: https://akismet.com/tos/ · Privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

**CAPTCHA services**: spam protection, used only if you add keys for one in Settings
Spam and switch it on for a form.

 * On that form, visitors’ browsers load the service’s script and use your public
   site key to complete its challenge. The service receives ordinary browser connection
   information, including the visitor’s IP address and browser headers; its privacy
   policy covers that interaction.
 * When the form is sent, your server sends the challenge response and your secret
   key to the service’s verification address, to confirm the challenge was passed.
   Saved steps of unfinished entries are not checked.

**Integrations you add yourself**: automatic sends require a configured, enabled
connection and an enabled form binding whose conditions match. Only complete entries
that are not spam are sent. Private uploaded files are excluded. Failed sends are
retried from the saved queue for up to a week; you can also retry them yourself.

 * Webhooks (including Zapier, Make, n8n): the fields you map are sent to the address
   you enter, as JSON or form data. Mappings can include entry IDs, submission time,
   form title, page address and campaign information. Your configured request headers
   are sent, with a timestamp and signature if you enable signing; the signing secret
   itself is not sent.
 * Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat: a message is sent to the channel
   webhook address you enter. It contains the visible question labels and answers
   by default, or the message template you configure. The webhook address contains
   the service’s access credential.
 * Mailchimp, Brevo, MailerLite: only when someone ticks your consent box to join
   your list. The service is first asked whether that email address exists (Mailchimp
   uses a hash of it in the lookup; Brevo and MailerLite use the address), so existing
   subscribers aren’t changed unless you choose to update them. The email address,
   mapped fields, configured list/group and any Mailchimp tags are then sent to 
   subscribe or update the contact. Requests send your configured API key to that
   provider for authentication.
 * “Send a test” on an integration: your explicit click queues one test delivery
   using sample answers (“[Test] …”) and the current administrator’s email for email
   questions. For mailing lists, it uses your own administrator email address and
   runs the same lookup/subscription requests, only after you confirm that. A failed
   test may be retried like other queued sends.

**Copying a form from a web page**: only when you paste an address under Forms  
Bring a form over and click “Copy it”. Your site requests that public page, following
up to five redirects after checking each address is public, to read its form. The
request sends the page address and ordinary request headers, including the user 
agent “Kibi Forms”; no cookies, passwords or form answers are sent, and the page
is not stored. The fetch is limited to five seconds and 1 MB.

**Checks on your own site**: when you run the upload-storage check in Settings, 
the plugin may create a random test file, request its address on your own site (
never another site), and then delete it. No visitor file or answers are sent. Storage
already verified to be outside the public web root needs no HTTP probe.

**Email through WordPress**: notification emails send the configured message and
answers, uploaded filenames (never file attachments), campaign information and an
Inbox link to the recipients you choose; the visitor’s email can be included as 
Reply-To. A confirmation can send to the visitor’s email. “Send me a test” sends
to the current administrator; the weekly summary sends form statistics to its configured
recipients. All use WordPress’s wp_mail and your site’s mail service or SMTP plugin.
No separate email service is contacted by Kibi Forms.

Kibi Forms sends no usage reports to its developer. The local Insights records remain
on your site.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Kibi Form Show one of your Kibi Forms. Every entry is saved in your Inbox before
   any email is sent.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Kibi account?

No. Forms, entries, export, email notifications, insights, integrations and spam
protection all work without one, forever.

### Where are form entries stored?

Entries are saved in your WordPress site’s database before notification emails are
sent. Search, add notes, print or export them as CSV from the Inbox. Connecting 
Kibi is optional; see External services for what that connection sends.

### How do I add a form to a page?

Publish your form, then add the Kibi Form block to a page or post and choose the
form. You can also copy its shortcode from the builder’s Add to site tab.

### Can I move from Contact Form 7 or WPForms?

Yes. Forms  Bring a form over copies a Contact Form 7 or WPForms form into Kibi 
Forms, and tells you about anything that didn’t come across (like payment fields).
Your old form keeps working until you swap it on the page.

### Will it work with my SMTP plugin?

Yes. Kibi Forms sends email through WordPress (wp_mail), so WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP
and others work as usual.

### Can you tell if an email reached my inbox?

We can tell when your site couldn’t send it, and we show that clearly. We can’t 
see inside your inbox, which is why there’s a “Did it arrive?” test and a “Send 
me a test” button on every email.

### What happens to my entries if I uninstall?

You choose in Settings  Privacy. By default everything is kept, in case you reinstall.

### Where does the “came from” information come from?

From the address of the page the form was sent on (for example ?utm_source=google&
gclid=…). No cookies are used.

### Do my own visits count in Insights?

No. Views aren’t counted while you’re logged in to your site, nor in the builder’s
preview, nor from search-engine bots. Open the page in a private window to try it
as a visitor.

### 󠀁[A promising all-in-one form builder with a built-in lead inbox](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-promising-all-in-one-form-builder-with-a-built-in-lead-inbox/)󠁿

 [aayushpranay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aayushpranay/) October 13, 2026

Kibi Forms brings together form building and lead management in one place, which
is exactly what many WordPress website owners need. I particularly like the idea
of having a built-in inbox for submissions instead of relying entirely on email 
notifications. Features like conditional logic, multi-step forms, CSV exports, campaign
tracking, and email delivery logs make it useful for more than just basic contact
forms. The focus on privacy and keeping submissions on your own WordPress site is
another big plus. I'm excited to see how the plugin evolves and how it can help 
freelancers, agencies, and small businesses manage their enquiries more efficiently.
Definitely worth exploring if you're looking for a form solution within WordPress!
