This plugin shows you the abandoned forms \u2014 the ones that were never sent. It watches field activity on the forms you already have, and the moment a visitor who was genuinely typing leaves the page or goes idle without submitting, it records what they had entered so far.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin requires Contact Form 7 to be active \u2014 it has nothing to track without it.<\/p>\n\n
RowanWeb Abandoned Forms for Contact Form 7 Pro is a separate, paid version. Everything described above works fully in this free plugin; Pro adds tools for actually following up on abandoned attempts:<\/p>\n\n
This plugin connects to the following third-party service. Nothing else is sent anywhere by the free version.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin includes the Freemius SDK, which handles the separate Pro version's licensing and updates. In this free version, Freemius only shows an optional opt-in screen after activation.<\/p>\n\n

\nDoes this work without Contact Form 7?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo \u2014 the plugin hooks directly into Contact Form 7's own forms and does nothing without it active (declared as a dependency, so WordPress will flag it if CF7 isn't active).<\/p><\/dd>\n
What counts as \"abandoned\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\nA visitor who has typed something recognizable as real input into a form's fields, then either leaves the page, closes the tab, or goes idle for a while without submitting. Loading a form and leaving immediately, without typing anything, isn't recorded.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is the data safe?<\/h3><\/dt>\nCaptured field values are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) in their own database table, decrypted only when an authorized admin views them. A contact is pseudonymized internally through a hashed, site-specific identifier rather than stored as a plain lookup key.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does this send any of my data anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The free version makes no outgoing connections of its own \u2014 everything is stored in your own database and shown only inside your own admin area. The only exception is listed under \"External services\" below, and it's off until you opt in.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How long is the data kept?<\/h3><\/dt>\n60 days by default, deleted automatically every day; configurable from 1 day up to 10 years on the Settings tab. Lower it if you only need the data for a quick follow-up; raise it if you want a longer history.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
0.1.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- New per-form option: only record attempts where the visitor left an email address or phone number. Detected by value in any typed field, so phone numbers in plain text fields count too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release: abandoned-submission tracking for Contact Form 7, encrypted storage, per-form admin screen with bulk delete, configurable retention, GDPR personal-data export\/erase integration, and a Pro tier (trend chart, CSV export, Mattermost\/Slack\/Telegram\/Discord\/generic webhook notifications).<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Tracks Contact Form 7 field activity and shows which visitors started filling a form but left without sending it.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/385717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385717"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/ryabininvitaliy"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=385717"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=385717"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=385717"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=385717"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=385717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
