Contact Form 7 is no doubt one of the most popular plugins on the WordPress repository. This plugin helps us to quickly create contact forms, customize mail content, etc. When the user fills out a contact form, the admin gets an email about the inquiry.

This is how this plugin works. But, if you are getting tons of emails from a website then it is difficult to manage all leads by going through each email and checking its content.

In this article, we discuss 2 plugins that store the Contact Form 7 submissions to the WordPress database. Additionally, they give a list of all records on the back end. It makes it easy to view all inquiries at a glance. The admin can also export all inquiry data to the CSV.

The major benefit of using these plugins is we get the inquiry details in our database even if the mail server stops working. That means the user fills out the contact form and hits the submit button. Due to some reasons, we did not get this inquiry in our inbox. Don’t worry, these plugins still store those inquiries in the database so we can see them later. In that way, it saves us from missing an important message.
