Description
Contact Form 7 does not save submitted entries by default, if an email fails or gets lost, the data is gone forever.
OrbitVault Submission Manager fixes this by automatically saving every Contact Form 7 submission to your WordPress database, and gives you a complete toolkit to manage them.
Features
- Automatic entry saving for all Contact Form 7 forms
- Track whether the notification email actually sent successfully or failed
- Clean admin panel with Name/Email columns pulled straight from your form
- Read / Unread status tracking
- Star / Favorite important entries
- Keyword and pattern-based spam detection (no external API required)
- Advanced filters — by date range, by form, and by specific field
- Export entries to CSV
- Bulk actions (mark read/unread, star, spam, export, delete)
- Private admin notes on each entry
- Automatic cleanup of old entries after a configurable number of days (starred entries are always kept)
- Daily or weekly email digest of new submissions

Does this work with all Contact Form 7 forms?
-

Will this slow down my site?
-
No, entries are saved using an efficient database write hook and do not affect frontend performance.

No. Spam detection is entirely keyword and pattern based, running locally on your server — no data is sent anywhere.
