Description
LOCALREACH Form Monitor helps WordPress site owners and agencies check whether contact forms and WordPress mail handling are working as expected.
The WordPress.org version provides manual and scheduled checks, supported form monitoring, diagnostics, local test logs, customer reports and optional agency branding.
The plugin currently detects and supports checks around:
- Contact Form 7
- Elementor Pro forms
- WPForms
- Fluent Forms
- WordPress wp_mail()
Typical use cases:
- Run a quick manual mail test from the WordPress admin.
- See which supported forms are present on a site.
- Keep a local test log for troubleshooting and client documentation.
- Check basic mail and configuration signals before handing over a website.
- Schedule recurring monitoring and customer reports.
- Customize customer-facing reports with optional agency branding.
The plugin does not replace professional mailbox monitoring, transactional email logging or deliverability auditing. It checks the WordPress side of the process and records whether WordPress and supported form integrations accepted the generated test request.
Included functionality
All functionality included in this WordPress.org package is available without a license key, payment, quota or trial period. This includes scheduled monitoring, customer reports and optional agency branding.
External services
LOCALREACH Form Monitor sends test and report emails through the WordPress mail system (wp_mail()) and supported local form plugin integrations. It does not connect to a LOCALREACH licensing service or add a separate third-party delivery service. If the site uses an SMTP, transactional email, DNS or security service, that service may process requests according to its own configuration.

FAQ
-
Which form plugins are supported?
-
The plugin currently detects and works with Contact Form 7, Elementor Pro forms, WPForms and Fluent Forms where the relevant plugin is active and the form can be identified.
-
Does the plugin guarantee inbox delivery?
-
No. The plugin checks whether WordPress and supported form integrations accept the generated test request and whether the configured mail handoff can be triggered. Inbox placement depends on the receiving mailbox, DNS, SMTP configuration, reputation and anti-spam systems.
-
Can the plugin send scheduled tests automatically?
-
Yes. Scheduled monitoring can be enabled in the plugin settings.
-
Are customer reports included in the free version?
-
Yes. Customer reports can be opened, emailed manually or scheduled from the plugin settings.
-
Does the plugin send real form submissions to customers?
-
The plugin is designed to use a separate test recipient for monitoring and testing. You should configure a dedicated test mailbox and avoid using real customer inboxes as the test recipient.
-
Can agencies use their own branding?
-
Yes. Agency branding is optional and can be configured in the report settings.
-
Does this plugin store personal data?
-
The plugin stores its own settings and test logs in the local WordPress database. Test logs can include technical test IDs, timestamps, test source, recipient address and status messages. Configure a dedicated test mailbox and avoid entering personal customer data into test fields unless it is necessary for your own process.
