Capture traffic source, UTM parameters, device, and visitor journey data with every form submission. Every time someone submits a form, Sense Forms automatically captures: * **Traffic Source** — organic search, paid search, social, referral, direct, or email * **UTM Parameters** — source, medium, campaign, term, and content * **Device Information** — desktop, tablet, or mobile, plus browser and OS * **Time to Submit** — how long they spent filling out the form * **Form Abandonment** — who started filling out your form but did not finish #### Features * **Drag and Drop Form Builder** — create beautiful forms without code * **19 Field Types** — including name (first/last), address, dropdown, radio buttons, checkboxes, date and time pickers, file upload, custom HTML, and a GDPR consent field * **Built-in Visitor Tracking** — automatic, no extra plugins needed * **Lead Attribution** — know exactly which channel brought each lead * **UTM Parameter Capture** — persistent across pages and sessions * **Form Abandonment Tracking** — see who started but did not finish * **Email Notifications** — customizable with merge tags, from name/email, and reply-to * **Built-in SMTP** — route email through your own SMTP server for reliable delivery, with a one-click test * **Confirmation Emails** — automatic thank-you emails sent to submitters * **Layered Spam Protection** — honeypot, time trap, per-IP rate limiting, duplicate guard, word blocklist, plus optional Akismet and Google reCAPTCHA v3 * **AJAX Submissions** — smooth, no-page-reload experience * **Responsive Design** — forms look great on every device * **Conditional Logic** — show or hide fields based on what the visitor enters, included free * **Field Validation** — length limits, numeric ranges, regex patterns, input masks and character counters * **Full Style Control** — live-preview colours for labels, inputs, borders, backgrounds and buttons, plus size and spacing presets, button alignment, and form padding and shadow * **Button Styles** — filled, outlined, gradient, and minimal button variants * **Floating Labels** — optional animated floating label style * **Analytics Dashboard** — submission charts, traffic sources, device breakdown * **Entry Management** — view, search, filter, star submissions * **Shortcode Embedding** — use [senseform id=”1″] anywhere * **Gutenberg Block** — native block editor support with form picker and live preview * **Elementor Widget** — dedicated widget in the Elementor panel * **Beaver Builder Compatible** — embed forms via shortcode in any HTML module * **CSV Export** — export all entries with one click * **Bulk Entry Actions** — select multiple entries to delete, mark read, or mark unread * **Form Duplication** — duplicate any form with one click * **Privacy Tools** — GDPR consent field, IP anonymisation, configurable data retention, Do Not Track support, cookie-free mode, and integration with WordPress data export and erasure requests * **Accessibility Ready** — ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, screen reader support #### Lite vs Pro Everything described above is in the free plugin — unlimited forms and submissions, all 19 field types, conditional logic, visitor tracking and the analytics dashboard, every spam-protection layer, notification and confirmation emails with SMTP, privacy tools, CSV export, bulk actions, and every integration. No form limits, no submission limits, nothing held back. [Sense Forms Pro](https://senseforms.com/) is planned as a separate add-on for multi- step forms, multi-site agency sync, advanced export filters and priority support. None of the functionality above depends on it. ### External Services Sense Forms works fully self-contained by default. No data is sent anywhere unless you switch on one of the optional services below, each of which requires you to enter your own credentials. **Google reCAPTCHA v3 (optional, off by default)** If you select reCAPTCHA as your CAPTCHA provider, enter your own keys, and enable the CAPTCHA on a form: * The reCAPTCHA script is loaded from google.com on pages containing that form. * On each submission, the visitor’s reCAPTCHA token and IP address are sent to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify to score the submission. * This happens only on submissions of forms where you enabled the CAPTCHA. Google’s terms and privacy policy apply: [Terms](https://policies.google.com/terms) | [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) **Akismet (optional, off by default, requires the separate Akismet plugin)** If the Akismet plugin is installed and configured with an API key, and you leave the Akismet spam layer enabled in Sense Forms settings: * Submission content, the submitter’s name and email where present, their IP address, user agent and referring URL are sent to Akismet’s service to be classified as spam or not spam. * The request is made by the Akismet plugin itself using your own Akismet account. * If Akismet is not installed or has no key, this layer stays inactive and nothing is sent. Automattic’s terms and privacy policy apply: [Terms of Service](https://automattic.com/terms/) | [Privacy Policy](https://automattic.com/privacy/) If you use none of the above, Sense Forms makes no external requests at all. ## Screenshots [⌊Form Builder — drag and drop interface⌉⌊Form Builder — drag and drop interface⌉[ Form Builder — drag and drop interface [⌊Entries List — submissions with traffic source badges⌉⌊Entries List — submissions with traffic source badges⌉[ Entries List — submissions with traffic source badges [⌊Entry Detail — full lead attribution⌉⌊Entry Detail — full lead attribution⌉[ Entry Detail — full lead attribution [⌊Analytics Dashboard — visitor statistics⌉⌊Analytics Dashboard — visitor statistics⌉[ Analytics Dashboard — visitor statistics [⌊Settings — tracking and notification options⌉⌊Settings — tracking and notification options⌉[ Settings — tracking and notification options ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Form ## Installation 1.

No. Sense Forms includes its own lightweight tracking script. ### Will this slow down my site? The tracking script is around 15KB and loads in the page footer, so it never blocks rendering. It talks only to your own site — the tracking layer makes no third-party requests. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. Sense Forms includes native integrations for **Gutenberg** (block editor) and** Elementor** (dedicated widget). For Beaver Builder, Divi, WPBakery, and other builders, use the shortcode [senseform id=”1″] in any HTML or text module. ### Does Sense Forms help with GDPR? It gives you the tools, but compliance depends on how you use them and on your own disclosures and lawful basis — no plugin can make a site compliant on its own. What Sense Forms provides: a GDPR consent field, IP anonymisation, Do Not Track support, a cookie-free tracking mode, automatic data-retention cleanup, a notification- only mode that stores nothing in the database, and integration with WordPress’s built-in personal data export and erasure requests. By default all submission and visitor data stays in your own database; the only exceptions are the optional Akismet and reCAPTCHA integrations, which are off by default and described under External Services below. ### My notification emails are not arriving. What should I do? By default Sense Forms sends through WordPress’s built-in mail function, which works out of the box on hosts with working mail — a new form arrives with an admin notification already set up, addressed to your site’s admin email. If your host blocks PHP mail or filters it as spam, go to **Sense Forms Settings Email Delivery (SMTP)** and enter your SMTP details (host, port, username, password) from your email host, Gmail, Brevo, SendGrid, Amazon SES, or any provider, then use the **Send Test** button to verify delivery. By default SMTP applies only to Sense Forms emails; you can optionally route all WordPress email through it, and if you already run a dedicated SMTP plugin you can leave this off — they work together fine. Submissions are always saved regardless, so nothing is ever lost, and the dashboard warns you if a notification could not be delivered. ### Will I lose my data if I uninstall the plugin? No. By default, all forms, entries, and analytics are preserved when you uninstall, so nothing is lost if you reinstall later. If you want a complete cleanup, enable“ Remove ALL data when the plugin is uninstalled” in Settings before deleting the plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/90b002f75bfb7327c3341e5b4a04d26056cb475d70d150c83325ce3bdddacd25? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very easy to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-easy-to-use-788/)󠁿 [northeasthorticultural](https://profiles.wordpress.org/northeasthorticultural/) July 28, 2026 Finally a contact form plugin which has analytics and smtp included, my developer friend recommended it to me and I absolutely loved it.
