Description

Neural Forms Lite is a modern contact form plugin that turns your WordPress site into an AI-powered lead management system. Build forms visually, receive submissions in a clean lead inbox, and let AI summarize each lead, assign priority, and draft a reply — all from your WordPress dashboard.

Why Neural Forms?

Most form plugins stop at collecting submissions. Neural Forms starts there. Every submission is automatically analyzed by AI, categorized by intent, scored by priority, and paired with a draft reply you can send with one click. It is the difference between a form plugin and a lead management system.

What You Get

✅ Visual Form Builder — Drag-and-drop fields, live preview, and instant publishing via shortcode or Gutenberg block.
✅ 16 Field Types — Text, email, textarea, phone, URL, number, date, select, radio, checkbox, checkboxes, file upload, hidden, range, acceptance, and more.
✅ Lead Inbox — View, search, filter, star, and triage submissions with status management. Keyboard shortcuts for power users.
✅ AI Auto-Analysis — Every submission gets an AI-generated summary, category, priority score, and draft reply.
✅ Reply From Your Inbox — Send replies directly from the entry detail view. Every reply is logged in a message thread.
✅ CSV Export — Export entries per form with date-range filtering.
✅ Spam Protection — Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA v2 built in. Choose your provider.
✅ Email Notifications — Configurable admin alerts and customer auto-responder emails.
✅ Privacy Mode — Toggle IP and user-agent storage off with one click. GDPR-friendly.
✅ Contact Form 7 Import — Detect and migrate your existing CF7 forms in one click.
✅ Full Block Editor Support — Native Gutenberg block with 150+ styling attributes including per-corner radii, gradients, hover states, font controls, button transitions, and success/error message styling.
✅ Developer Friendly — Action hooks, filter hooks, capability gates, and a React SlotFill registry for extensions.

AI That Actually Helps

Neural Forms uses the Neural Forms Cloud service to analyze submissions. When a visitor fills out your form:

  1. The submission text is securely sent to the Neural Forms Cloud API.
  2. AI reads the message and generates a summary, category (inquiry, support, sales, etc.), priority (low, medium, high, urgent), and a relevance score (0-100).
  3. A draft reply is written based on the context of your form and the visitor’s message.
  4. Everything appears on the entry detail screen — ready for you to review, edit, and send.

The AI features require a Neural Forms Cloud API key, which you can get for free at neuralforms.ai.

Perfect For

Freelancers and agencies managing client inquiries
Small businesses handling contact and support forms
SaaS companies triaging inbound leads
Bloggers and creators collecting feedback
WooCommerce stores managing pre-sale questions
Anyone tired of reading raw form submissions

External Services

This plugin optionally connects to external third-party services. No connections are made unless you explicitly enable and configure them.

Neural Forms Cloud

When you enable AI features and enter a Neural Forms Cloud API key in Settings, the plugin sends form submission content (the text your visitors enter) and form field metadata to the Neural Forms Cloud API for AI analysis. This includes generating submission summaries, categories, priority scores, and draft replies. No data is sent unless you have enabled Cloud AI and provided an API key. The plugin never sends IP addresses, WordPress admin credentials, or WordPress core data to this service.

Cloudflare Turnstile

When you select Cloudflare Turnstile as your CAPTCHA provider and configure your site and secret keys, the plugin loads the Turnstile challenge script on pages with forms and verifies visitor responses server-side via the Cloudflare API. This service is only used when Turnstile is selected as the CAPTCHA provider in Settings.

Google reCAPTCHA v2

When you select Google reCAPTCHA v2 as your CAPTCHA provider and configure your site and secret keys, the plugin loads the reCAPTCHA challenge script on pages with forms and verifies visitor responses server-side via the Google API. This service is only used when reCAPTCHA v2 is selected as the CAPTCHA provider in Settings.

Source Code and Build Instructions

Neural Forms ships pre-built JavaScript and CSS files in modules/admin/build/ so the plugin works on a clean WordPress install without a Node toolchain. The compiled/generated files are:

  • modules/admin/build/index.js — admin React SPA (Forms, Entries, Stats, Settings)
  • modules/admin/build/index.css and modules/admin/build/index-rtl.css — admin styles
  • modules/admin/build/block.js — Gutenberg block (neural-forms/form) editor script
  • modules/admin/build/index.asset.php and modules/admin/build/block.asset.php — auto-generated WordPress dependency manifests

The complete, human-readable source for every generated/compressed file above is included inside this plugin package under:

  • modules/admin/src/ — React + CSS source (admin SPA entry, block entry, screens, components, styles)
  • modules/admin/package.json — npm dependency list and build scripts
  • modules/admin/package-lock.json — exact dependency versions (lockfile)

  • modules/admin/webpack.config.js — webpack configuration (extends @wordpress/scripts)

    modules/admin/build/index.js is built from modules/admin/src/index.js and the modules it imports. modules/admin/build/block.js is built from modules/admin/src/block-index.js. Both are bundled by @wordpress/scripts (webpack + Babel) using the entry points declared in modules/admin/webpack.config.js. No obfuscation, packing, or encoding step is applied.

To rebuild the generated assets from source:

  1. Install Node.js 18 or newer and npm.
  2. Open a terminal in the plugin directory.

  3. Run:

    cd modules/admin
    npm install
    npm run build

This regenerates the files in modules/admin/build/ from modules/admin/src/.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use Neural Forms?

No. The form builder, lead inbox, email notifications, CAPTCHA, and CSV export all work without any API key. The AI features (auto-summary, draft replies) require a free Neural Forms Cloud API key, which you can get at neuralforms.ai.

What data does the AI feature send to your servers?

When AI is enabled, the plugin sends the form submission text (the visitor’s answers) and the form schema (field types and labels) to the Neural Forms Cloud API at api.neuralforms.ai. No IP addresses, no WordPress admin emails, and no WordPress core data are sent. You can review the full Privacy Policy.

Is Neural Forms GDPR compliant?

Neural Forms includes a Privacy Mode toggle that disables IP address and user-agent storage on submissions. When enabled, no personally identifiable visitor metadata is stored. For AI features, form submission content is processed by Neural Forms Cloud — see the Privacy Policy for data handling details.

Will this slow down my site?

No. Neural Forms loads assets only on pages where a form is rendered. The admin bundle loads only on Neural Forms admin screens. AI processing happens asynchronously via WP-Cron — it never blocks the visitor’s form submission.

Can I use this with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. Neural Forms ships a native Gutenberg block (neural-forms/form) with 150+ styling attributes. Search for “Neural Forms” in the block inserter.

What field types are supported?

Text, email, textarea, phone, URL, number, date, select/dropdown, radio buttons, checkbox, checkboxes (multi), file upload, hidden, range/slider, and acceptance (terms). More field types are planned.

How does spam protection work?

Neural Forms supports Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA v2 as CAPTCHA providers. Configure your preferred provider in Settings with your site and secret keys.

Can I import my Contact Form 7 forms?

Yes. Go to Neural Forms > Migration, click Scan for CF7 Forms, and import any detected form with one click. Fields, labels, and validation rules are mapped automatically.

Can I export my form submissions?

Yes. Go to Neural Forms > Entries, select a form, and click Export CSV. You can filter by date range before exporting.

Does Neural Forms create custom database tables?

Yes. Neural Forms creates 6 custom tables for forms, entries, AI responses, message threads, queue jobs, and logs. All tables are completely removed when you delete (not just deactivate) the plugin via the WordPress Plugins screen.

Where can I find documentation?

Full documentation is available at neuralforms.ai/documentation.
