JH Message Export For Flamingo Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Flamingo saves the messages sent through your Contact Form 7 forms. This plugin downloads them as an Excel file (.xlsx) that anyone can read: one row for each message, one column for each field, and the columns are named by the labels your visitors saw in the form.
The plugin adds an Export page to the Flamingo menu. Check the forms you want, choose a period and click the download button. The button shows how many messages the file will have before you download it.
Filters
- Forms – one, several or all of them in one file. Forms deleted in Contact Form 7 are listed too, as long as Flamingo still has their messages.
- Period – all time, this month, last month, this year, or your own range of days.
- Sender e-mail – the whole address or a part of it, for example @gmail.com.
- Text – only messages that contain all of the given words.
- Spam – messages marked as spam can be included if you need them.
The Excel file
- Column names come from the labels in your Contact Form 7 forms, for example “E-mail” instead of your-email. Fields with the same label in different forms share one column.
- Columns follow the order of the fields in the form. A field removed from the form later still has a column if older messages contain it.
- The first column is the date and time of sending, as a real date you can sort and filter by. It is in your site’s time zone and in the date and time format from Settings > General.
- Messages from several forms go on one sheet, with a column that names the form.
- Checkboxes and other fields with several values show them separated by commas.
- Every value stays text. A phone number like +421 900 123 456 keeps its plus sign, and a value starting with = never runs as a formula.
- The header row stays in place when you scroll and has filters switched on.
- Nothing technical: no IP addresses or browser details, no tokens of bot checks such as reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or Turnstile.
The file opens in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets.
Read only
The plugin only reads messages from Flamingo. It does not change or delete them, it has no settings and it saves nothing in the database. The file is created in the server’s temporary folder, sent to your browser and deleted at once.
Requirements
- Flamingo, which saves the messages.
- Contact Form 7 is optional. Without it, for example after you switched to another form plugin, the old messages can still be exported. Columns are then named by the field names and follow the order in the messages.
- The zip extension of PHP, which most hosting providers have. Without it, the Export page tells you so.
Privacy
Messages from forms usually contain personal data. The plugin does not send them anywhere and does not connect to any external service. The downloaded file contains everything your forms collected, so store and share it with the same care as the messages themselves.
