Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the IntakeFlow WordPress integration.

Is the WordPress plugin completely free? +
Yes, the core plugin is open-source and entirely free. You can build, import, and embed forms, and review all customer submissions without any limitations. A connection to the Console (SaaS) is optional and only required if you need features like digital signatures, appointment scheduling, product checkouts, or cloud backups.
How does the Contact Form 7 import work? +
IntakeFlow integrates with CF7 by parsing the tags in your contact forms. It converts inputs like text, email, tel, date, and textareas into modern mobile-friendly multi-step forms while preserving validation requirements.
Where are uploaded files stored? +
All uploaded files are written directly to your WordPress uploads folder using standard WordPress APIs (media_handle_upload()). They are registered as media attachments in your library and linked directly to their respective submissions for ease of review.
Can I assign submissions to specific team members? +
Yes! Submissions are managed as private custom posts. You can assign any WordPress user on your site to a submission, change status levels (New, In Review, Done), and view assignment history logs inside the submission panel.
