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. ### 󠀁[View Demo](https://neuralforms.ai)󠁿 #### 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](https://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 #### How It Works 1. **Install and Activate** — Install Neural Forms Lite from your WordPress dashboard. 2. **Create a Form** — Use the visual builder to add fields and configure settings. 3. **Embed Anywhere** — Use the Gutenberg block. 4. **Connect AI (Optional)** — Enter your free Neural Forms Cloud API key in Settings. 5. **Manage Leads** — View submissions in the inbox, review AI analysis, send replies. No configuration headaches. No third-party accounts required for basic form functionality. #### Neural Forms Pro Looking for more? [Neural Forms Pro](https://neuralforms.ai/pricing) adds Divi 5 Visual Builder integration, AI spam detection, advanced AI models, and more. Visit [neuralforms.ai](https://neuralforms.ai) for details. #### Documentation Full documentation is available at [neuralforms.ai/documentation](https://neuralforms.ai/documentation/). #### 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. * Service URL: [https://api.neuralforms.ai](https://api.neuralforms.ai) * Service website: [https://neuralforms.ai](https://neuralforms.ai) * Terms of Service: [https://neuralforms.ai/term-and-conditions](https://neuralforms.ai/term-and-conditions) * Privacy Policy: [https://neuralforms.ai/privacy-policy](https://neuralforms.ai/privacy-policy) **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.

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: 4. cd modules/admin npm install npm run build This regenerates the files in `modules/admin/build/` from `modules/admin/src/`. ## Screenshots [⌊Lead Inbox — Submission inbox with status management, starring, search, and date filters.⌉⌊Lead Inbox — Submission inbox with status management, starring, search, and date filters.⌉[ **Lead Inbox** — Submission inbox with status management, starring, search, and date filters. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Neural Forms Form Embed a Neural Forms form on any post or page. ## Installation #### Automatic Installation 1.

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](https://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](https://neuralforms.ai/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](https://neuralforms.ai/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](https://neuralforms.ai/documentation/). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Neural Forms” is open source software.
