Commandify Pro now includes a complete integration with Contact Form 7 and its companion plugin Flamingo, allowing you to manage forms, view submissions, and take action on form-related tasks directly from the command palette.

If your workflow involves handling leads, reviewing messages, supporting customers, or maintaining multiple forms across your site, this integration removes the usual friction of navigating back and forth between admin screens.

With a single shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl + K) you can instantly search forms, check recent submissions, and run high-impact actions built for speed and accuracy.

Flamingo plays an essential role here for Contact form 7. While Contact Form 7 (CF7) sends form data via email, Flamingo stores every submission in your database, allowing Commandify to fetch and interact with those entries instantly.

This integration is designed for site owners, agencies, support teams, and anyone who works heavily with CF7 forms and needs a significantly faster workflow.

Search All Contact Form 7 Forms #

This command gives you instant access to all your CF7 forms without navigating to Contact → Contact Forms. It is especially useful for websites with many forms, multilingual setups, or repeated form templates.

After triggering the command, Commandify lists every available form along with contextual actions. This reduces the number of clicks required and keeps your hands on the keyboard, improving your overall productivity and focus.

How to use

1. Press Cmd/Ctrl + K
2. Type “Search Contact Forms”
3. Select a form from the list
4. Choose an action such as Edit, Duplicate, or View Submissions

Available actions

• Edit Form: open the form editor instantly
• Copy Shortcode: grab the embed code without opening CF7
• Duplicate Form: create variations with one click
• Delete Form: remove unwanted forms
• View Submissions: see the 10 latest Flamingo entries

This feature is ideal when updating multiple forms, testing versions, or working through a client’s support requests.

Detect & Manage Posts/Pages Using Contact Form 7 Shortcodes #

Many websites use the same form across several pages. Commandify automatically detects which posts, pages, or CPT entries contain CF7 shortcodes and lets you take targeted actions.

Instead of manually searching for embedded forms, Commandify pinpoints the exact locations where your forms are used. This is incredibly helpful when troubleshooting issues such as incorrect placements, outdated forms, or broken layouts.

How to use

1. Open the command palette
2. Search for posts/pages normally
3. Look for entries marked “Contains form: Form Name”
4. Choose a relevant action

Helpful scenarios

• Updating forms across large blogs or landing pages
• Checking where a contact form is embedded
• Ensuring correct forms are assigned after migrations

Flamingo Submissions Search #

Flamingo stores all incoming messages from Contact Form 7 inside WordPress. Commandify builds on this by providing full-featured submission search, allowing you to filter, view, and act on messages instantly.

This eliminates the need to switch to Flamingo → Inbound Messages every time you need to review leads or customer messages.

What you can do

• Search all submissions (inbox + spam)
• Filter by form, keyword, or email address
• Handle support tasks from any screen

Available submission actions

• View Details: open the message directly
• Copy Email: useful for quick replies
• Mark as Spam / Not Spam: manage inbox hygiene
• Move to Trash: clean up clutter
• Delete Permanently: remove data entirely

This makes Commandify an excellent productivity tool for support agents or businesses handling a high volume of form entries.

View Submissions Directly From Forms or Posts #

Whenever you select a Contact Form 7 form OR a post/page that contains its shortcode, Commandify automatically shows the latest 10 Flamingo submissions tied to that form.

Instead of going into Flamingo and filtering through multiple lists, you get an instant preview of recent entries, making it easy to respond quickly or validate that forms are working correctly.

When this is helpful

• Checking form activity after updates
• Reviewing daily leads
• Handling support tickets
• Verifying submissions during QA

The submission actions listed earlier remain available in this context as well.

Performance, Security & Behind-the-Scenes Improvements #

The v1.0.3 release includes several enhancements that improve overall stability and performance for CF7 users:

Performance Enhancements

• Optimized SQL queries for faster form and submission search
• Cached form mapping for quicker lookups

• Proper validation/sanitization of inputs
• Safe URL and user-data escaping

Fixes & Reliability Improvements

These refinements make the integration suitable even for high-traffic or enterprise-level sites.
