Find data entered in the form

  • Hi there!
    I found a post that writes that the plugin doesn’t store any information in tha database and that if something went wrong with the email then there’s no way to find what the user entered in the form, but I wanted to double check it.

    Is that information valid? I have a client who got the email but some fields weren’t setup correctly, so now he doesn’t have the client’s contact info therefore no way to get in touch with him.

    Is there a way to retrieve this information? Or does the plugin in fact not store any information whatsoever?

    Thank you in advance for any help!
    Kat

    Unfortunately, no.

    You can use a submission storage plugin like Contact Form DB or Contact Form 7 Storage to save all your CF7 form submits to the WP database. These are often used by experienced WP users – they provide a robust record of all form submissions even when things go a little wrong.

    Many people also use Flamingo – another plugin by Takayuki.
