Let’s dive in to save and manage WordPress Form Data Right Away
When someone fills out a form on your WordPress site, what happens to their data?
For many site owners using plugins like WPForms, Contact Form 7, or Elementor Forms, submissions are only sent via email. That means if an email is lost, so is your customer’s data.
This is where Forms Entries Manager comes in. Our plugin ensures every submission is securely saved to your WordPress database, easy to view, export, and even sync with tools like Google Sheets.
In this guide, we’ll cover:
- Why saving WordPress form data to your database is essential.
- How to manage form entries inside WordPress.
- How to sync WordPress forms to Google Sheets for real-time reporting.
Why Save WordPress Form Data in Your Database?
- Reliability → Emails can fail; databases don’t.
- Centralized management → All form entries stay inside your dashboard.
- Advanced search & filters → Quickly find customer submissions by name, email, or date.
- Data export → Generate CSV, Excel, or PDF reports anytime.
- Compliance → Keep better control of stored data for GDPR/CCPA.
