About this plugin

Kavin Contact Form Builder gives you a proper form builder without the bloat. Drag fields onto a live preview, click any field to edit it, and embed the finished form with a shortcode or a block.

Every submission is stored in your own database, searchable from the Entries screen, and exportable as a spreadsheet you can actually read.

Build the form you need

  • Fourteen field types: single line text, paragraph text, email, phone, number, website, date, dropdown, multiple choice, checkboxes, consent checkbox, hidden field, section heading and an HTML block
  • A live preview that shows the real control the moment you add it, not a placeholder
  • Drag to reorder, or focus a field’s drag handle and use the arrow keys
  • Duplicate any field, including changes you have not saved yet
  • Search the field palette

Collect and read the answers

  • Every entry stored in a dedicated table, not buried in your posts
  • Filter by form and by status, and search the answers themselves
  • Read, unread, spam and permanent delete, individually or in bulk
  • CSV export with one row per submission and a column per field
  • Formula injection is neutralised on export, so a submitted answer can never run as a spreadsheet formula

Get told about it

  • Email yourself on every submission, and optionally send the visitor a confirmation
  • Smart tags for any answer, the whole form, the entry number, the date and more
  • Notifications send from your own domain with the visitor in Reply-To, which is what keeps form mail out of spam
  • Works with any SMTP plugin, because delivery goes through the standard WordPress mailer

Keep the spam out

  • Honeypot field that real visitors never see
  • A configurable time trap that rejects submissions filled in impossibly fast
  • Per-visitor rate limiting

Respect your visitors’ privacy

  • Storing entries at all is optional, per form
  • Storing IP addresses is optional, per form
  • Automatic deletion of entries older than a number of days you choose
  • Entries are wired into the WordPress privacy tools, so Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data both cover them
