Form Vibes saves your contact form submissions to the WordPress database automatically – no configuration needed. Just install and activate, and every form entry from Contact Form 7, Elementor Pro Forms, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, WS Form, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, and Everest Forms is captured and stored safely in your database. Never lose a lead again because of a failed email. View all your form entries in one place, filter them, export them to CSV, sync them to Google Sheets (Pro), and analyze form performance with built-in graphical reports. 🗄️ Why do you need a database plugin for your forms? Contact Form 7 and many other form plugins send submissions by email but do not save entries in the database. If an email fails or lands in spam, the lead is gone forever. And even if your form builder has its own entries screen (like Elementor Pro), your submissions stay scattered across different plugins, each with its own interface and limits. Form Vibes saves entries from all your forms in one central database – every submission is stored safely, searchable, and exportable from a single dashboard, with analytics on top. ✅ One Plugin for All Your Forms Unlike single-purpose plugins that only save Contact Form 7 entries or only Elementor form entries, Form Vibes is a universal form entries manager.
