About this plugin
MugenCodex Lead Inbox for Contact Form 7 helps you stop losing customer messages from your WordPress forms.
Contact Form 7 sends form emails, but normal email delivery can fail. If a form message is not stored anywhere, a lead can disappear without you noticing. MugenCodex Lead Inbox saves Contact Form 7 submissions inside your WordPress admin area, then gives you a simple lead inbox so you can review, reply, and follow up.
Use it for contact forms, quote request forms, booking request forms, sales forms, support forms, and any Contact Form 7 form where missed messages could cost you a customer.
Main features:
- Save Contact Form 7 submissions in WordPress.
- View saved form entries in a clean lead inbox.
- Search leads by name, email, phone, subject, or message.
- Filter by New, Unread, Follow-up, Contacted, Won, and Lost.
- Mark leads as read or unread.
- Manage lead status: New, Contacted, Won, or Lost.
- Add private internal notes for follow-up.
- Set manual follow-up dates.
- Send email alerts when a new lead is saved.
- Send reminders when leads stay New for too long.
- Export saved leads to CSV.
- Choose which Contact Form 7 forms are captured.
- Keep IP storage off by default for a privacy-friendly setup.
- Use System Status to check database, Contact Form 7, alerts, and reminder health.
- Contact support from inside the plugin if you need help.
MugenCodex Lead Inbox is not a form builder. Contact Form 7 still creates and displays your forms. MugenCodex Lead Inbox adds the missing safety layer: saved submissions, a lead inbox, and simple follow-up tools.

Privacy
MugenCodex Lead Inbox stores form submissions in your own WordPress database. It does not send lead data to MugenCodex Lead Inbox servers.
IP address storage is off by default. If you enable IP storage, new leads may include the visitor IP address and browser user agent.
Suggested privacy text:
When you send a message through our contact forms, we store the submitted information in our WordPress dashboard so we can reply to your request and manage follow-up. We do not sell this information. We keep form messages only for as long as needed for customer support, sales follow-up, or legal/administrative reasons.
