Update any existing pages to use [lukacodes_form]. External Services This plugin can optionally connect to third-party email delivery services for sending contact form notifications, admin emails, test emails, and auto-reply emails. These external services are not required for the core functionality of the plugin. External connections only occur when the site administrator explicitly enables SMTP/mailer functionality and enters their own provider credentials. When SMTP/mailer is enabled, the following data may be transmitted to the selected provider as required for email delivery: sender email address, recipient email address, email subject, email body, and SMTP authentication credentials entered by the administrator. Data is only sent at the moment an email needs to be delivered, and only via the provider the administrator has chosen and configured.
