Contact Form 7 keeps doing what it does best — rendering, validating and submitting forms, and sending the mail. This plugin manages what those emails look like, and keeps a record of what people sent. **Your Contact Form 7 settings are never overwritten.** Templates are applied at runtime, so your form’s own Mail configuration stays exactly as you left it and takes over again the moment you detach a template. #### Templates * Reusable HTML and plain-text email templates * Visual block builder — drag Heading, Text, Form Fields, Button, Image, Divider and Spacer blocks into the email and reorder them * Hand-written HTML can be converted to blocks, and any template can still be edited as source on the HTML tab * Separate admin-notification and customer-confirmation templates per form * Preview with realistic sample data, plus test sends * Duplicate, search, filter, bulk actions, JSON import and export * Nine starter templates, installable at any time from Tools #### Tags * Every mail-tag on a form is detected through Contact Form 7’s own API * Click-to-insert tags with friendly names, search and a recently used list * All of Contact Form 7’s special mail-tags, including the [_user_*] set for logged- in visitors * A warning when a template uses a tag the form does not have — nothing is ever removed for you * A notice when a form gains new fields the template is not using yet * File upload fields are detected, and the uploaded file is attached to the email #### Submissions * Every accepted submission is saved to its own database table, with the email result recorded alongside it * Pick a form to get one column per field; Details expands the whole record in place * Uploaded files are copied out of Contact Form 7 before it deletes them, then served through a capability-checked download link. The store itself is closed to the web * Search across stored answers, filter by email result, sort, paginate, delete individually or in bulk * Export to CSV — exports everything the current filters match, not just the page on screen #### Branding * One place for logo, colours, footer text, address and social links, used by every template * Branding values that are left empty leave no gap in the email * A warning when the logo is hosted somewhere only your own machine can reach, such as localhost ## Installation 1. Install and activate Contact Form 7. 2. Upload this plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it. 3. Go to **Mail Designer** in the admin menu. The nine starter templates are installed the first time an editor opens the admin with Contact Form 7 active. You can add any that are missing later from Tools. ## FAQ ### Does this change my Contact Form 7 mail settings? No. Templates are injected when a form is used, not written into Contact Form 7’ s database. Detaching a template restores your original settings instantly, because they were never touched. ### What happens if I edit the Mail tab in Contact Form 7 while a template is assigned? Nothing breaks. The plugin steps aside on Contact Form 7’s own screens, so saving there edits your Contact Form 7 settings as usual. A notice tells you a template is currently in charge of what actually gets sent. ### Will my SMTP plugin still work? Yes. Contact Form 7 still sends the mail through WordPress, so any SMTP plugin keeps working. This plugin never stores or displays mail credentials. ### Why is my logo missing from the email I received? Almost always because the logo URL points at a host the recipient cannot reach — localhost and .local addresses are the usual culprits. It renders in the admin preview because your browser is on that machine. Global Branding warns you when it spots one. ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? Templates, submissions and stored files all stay. They are only removed if you tick“ Delete all plugin data” in Settings Advanced first. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ManpreetDev Mail Designer for Contact Form 7” is open source software.

Existing templates, submissions, branding and settings are migrated automatically on the first admin page load. * Added the Requires Plugins header, so WordPress 6.5+ checks for Contact Form 7 before activation. * The missing-dependency notice now appears only on this plugin’s screens and the plugins list. #### 1.4.2 * Clean pass on the WordPress.org Plugin Check: no errors, and the variable-prefix warnings in the admin screens are gone too. * Uninstall now removes the upload folder through WP_Filesystem rather than calling rmdir() directly. * The distributed zip is built from .distignore, so development files and hidden files are never shipped. #### 1.4.1 * Checked against Contact Form 7 6.2. Nothing this plugin relies on has changed. * Added the special mail-tags CF7 supports that the sidebar was not offering: [ _post\_id], [\_post\_name], [\_post\_author\_email] and the seven [\_user_*] tags, each with sample data for Preview. * New compatibility checks in the smoke test, so a future CF7 release that moves one of these shows up immediately. #### 1.4.0 * New Export CSV button on the Submissions screen. It exports every row the current form, email-result and search filters match, with one column per field and the uploaded file names. * Cells that open with =, +, – or @ are written as plain text, so an exported answer cannot run as a formula when the file is opened in a spreadsheet. #### 1.3.1 * Fix: a file upload field showed Contact Form 7’s internal digest as if it were the visitor’s answer. Upload fields are now recorded only as files. * Submitted Data in the list is now a Details button that expands the whole submission in place. #### 1.3.0 * Refreshed the whole admin interface: a new colour system, rounded cards, pill filters and badges, icon tiles on the dashboard, and consistent form controls. * WordPress’s own buttons, search boxes and bulk-action menus inside these screens now match the rest of the plugin. * Fix: a warning shown inside a field rendered inline and overlapped the controls around it. * Every grey used for text now clears the 4.5:1 contrast minimum. #### 1.2.2 * Fix: a branding value left empty no longer leaves a gap in the email. * Branding now warns when the logo is hosted somewhere only this machine can reach. #### 1.2.1 * Fix: demo templates were never installed when both plugins were activated together, or when Contact Form 7 was installed after this plugin. * New “Install demo templates” button under Tools. #### 1.2.0 * New Submissions screen: every accepted Contact Form 7 submission is saved to its own database table, with the email result recorded alongside it. * Uploaded files are copied out of Contact Form 7 before it deletes them, and downloaded through a capability-checked link. #### 1.1.0 * Visual block builder for HTML templates. * Hand-written templates can be converted to blocks from the Visual tab. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **2.0.0** * Last updated **19 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 8.1 or higher ** * Tags * [contact form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/contact-form-7/)[email designer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/email-designer/) [email template](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/email-template/)[html email](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/html-email/) [submissions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/submissions/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/manpreetdev-mail-designer-for-contact-form-7/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
