AroksDS Submission Alerts for Contact Form 7 to Telegram vs Database for Contact Form 7, WPforms, Elementor forms

Email is not a reliable operational channel for lead intake. Even when Contact Form 7 reports “mail sent”, real-world delivery can fail: messages may land in spam, be blocked by SMTP/DMARC rules, get throttled, or simply never reach the inbox in time. The result is the worst-case scenario: a lead is submitted, but nobody sees it. AroksDS Submission Alerts for Contact Form 7 to Telegram creates a second, independent delivery path: every successful form submission can generate an instant Telegram notification in a shared team space (group, private chat, or a forum topic). This gives you a practical “backup channel” so leads are not lost when email delivery is unreliable. Why this plugin is useful Backup channel to email: reduce lost leads caused by spam filtering or mail delivery issues. Shared visibility for managers: send to a single Telegram group used by everyone who handles leads. Faster response time (SLA): instant notifications help you respond while the user is still “hot”. Less human error: no need to manually check mailboxes or WordPress admin panels. Simple triage: route different forms to different chats/topics (sales vs support vs hiring). Operational continuity: even if your SMTP provider or mail settings break, Telegram alerts can still arrive. Privacy control: choose what fields are included (Allowed/Excluded fields) and keep templates minimal. Troubleshooting: built-in test tool + lightweight logs for quick diagnosis. Key features Success-only trigger: sends only on Contact Form 7 wpcf7_mail_sent (this WordPress.org edition intentionally avoids any “before send” triggers). Global defaults + per-form rules: Form ID → Chat ID → optional Message Thread ID → Template → Allowed/Excluded fields. Template placeholders: {field-name}, {form_id}, {form_title}, {page_url}, {date}, {time}, {all_fields}. Parse modes: Plain, HTML, MarkdownV2 (placeholder values are escaped for safety). Logs: stores last 100 entries (errors always; successes only when Debug Logs are enabled). Tools: send a test message from wp-admin. No tracking / telemetry: no external calls except Telegram Bot API. What this plugin does NOT do (to avoid misunderstandings) It sends text messages only via Telegram Bot API sendMessage (no attachments/files). It is not a CRM and does not store submissions as leads in WordPress. It does not replace email delivery — it adds a duplicate channel for operational safety. External services This plugin connects to the Telegram Bot API to send messages. Service: Telegram Bot API (sendMessage) https://core.telegram.org/bots/api Terms of use: https://telegram.org/tos Privacy policy: https://telegram.org/privacy When: On successful Contact Form 7 submissions (wpcf7_mail_sent) and when you click “Send test message” in wp-admin. Data sent: chat_id, message text (built from your template and filtered form fields), optional parse_mode, optional message_thread_id, disable_web_page_preview.
