Features include: * Inline form shortcode and popup trigger shortcode * WordPress lead storage under a dedicated admin menu * Email delivery via wp_mail or generic SMTP (Gmail App Password, GMX, Outlook, Fastmail, iCloud, Brevo, Mailgun, Postmark, Proton Bridge, Zoho, custom — your own credentials; no plugin-vendor relay) * Optional address lookup and UK postcode validation modes * Optional calculator widget shortcode ### External services This plugin connects to the following external services: * Google Places API (New) — used for address autocomplete in the form and calculator when enabled by the site administrator. Data sent: user-typed address fragments and selected place IDs are sent from the WordPress site server to Google while the visitor searches for an address. Terms: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/ terms Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Site administrators must disclose this use in their public terms and privacy policy before enabling Google Places. * Postcodes.io — used for UK postcode validation when that validation mode is enabled. Data sent: the postcode the visitor enters, sent from the visitor’s browser to Postcodes.io for validation. Terms: https://postcodes.io/docs/licences (MIT Licence, OS OpenData licence) Privacy: https://terms.ideal-postcodes.co.uk/website/privacy. html (operated by Ideal Postcodes Ltd) * Administrator-configured SMTP server (optional) — used to send lead notifications, reminders, data-request exports, and test messages when SMTP delivery is enabled. Data sent: message recipients, subjects, bodies (which can contain lead details), and the administrator’s SMTP credentials are transmitted to the SMTP server selected by the administrator when mail is sent or tested. Provider: the administrator chooses and configures the SMTP provider. The plugin vendor does not operate a mail relay. The selected provider’s own terms and privacy policy apply and must be reviewed before SMTP is enabled. ## Screenshots [⌊Customizable multi-step lead capture form.⌉⌊Customizable multi-step lead capture form.⌉[ Customizable multi-step lead capture form.
