Developer friendly stuff 😍
No tears (except of joy) when using this plugin and making customized form flows for submit and handling. And the best part is that every single thing can be changed with actions, yet every submission is show so simple that dashboard users understands those.

Just what I needed
Went through a bunch of form builders and this is the first that fits my needs perfectly!

Very developer friendly
Well it just works. I had some trouble in the beginning but after a quick support message I was told to add the "name"-attribute to the inputs. I guess I missed that in the first hand. Everything works smoothly and feels great. The only downside I can imagine is to use this in projects for customers as the customers rarely have any HTML-knowledge and therefore can't build forms by themselves. But this plugin isn't straight targeted for them either so no minus points for that!

Perfect for custom form markup
Works just like Contact Form 7, except that this doesn't suck.
