## Description

Formatrica is a clean, modern drag-and-drop form builder for WordPress. Build a 
production-ready form in a few clicks and drop it onto any page with a shortcode
or block — with reliable email delivery, strong anti-spam, and practical defaults
out of the box.

#### Highlights

 * **Drag-and-drop builder** with live preview, field search, and ready-made templates
 * **Rich field set** — text, email, file upload, date, select, radio, checkbox,
   number, range, colour, and more
 * **Reliable email delivery** via WordPress or a third-party provider (SendGrid,
   Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES, and more), with encrypted credentials and a built-
   in test-email tool
 * **Anti-spam & security** — honeypot, CSRF tokens, IP rate limiting, minimum submission
   time, and reCAPTCHA v3 / Cloudflare Turnstile / FriendlyCaptcha
 * **Privacy controls** — full, anonymised, or no IP storage, plus automatic submission
   cleanup
 * **Submissions screen** — browse stored entries and export them to CSV
 * **Integrations** — Zapier, Make.com, Slack, Mailchimp, Brevo, WordPress Post (
   with ACF support), WooCommerce, and signed custom webhooks, processed in the 
   background
 * **User registration forms** with required email verification
 * **Form theming** — a brand accent colour and a light, dark, or automatic colour
   scheme
 * **Translation-ready** — ships with German, French, and Macedonian

Formatrica does not phone home. External services are contacted only when you explicitly
enable and configure them for a form — see the External services section below.

#### Documentation

Full guides, hook/filter reference, and REST API docs live at [docs.nexusplugins.com](https://docs.nexusplugins.com/products/formatrica).

### External services

Formatrica does not contact any external service by default. Each service below 
is used only when a site administrator explicitly enables and configures it for 
a form.

#### CAPTCHA verification

When a CAPTCHA provider is enabled, the visitor’s browser loads the provider’s widget
and, on submission, the visitor’s IP address and a verification token are sent to
the provider for scoring. Providers: **Google reCAPTCHA v3** ([Terms](https://policies.google.com/terms)
| [Privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)), **Cloudflare Turnstile** ([Terms](https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/)
| [Privacy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/)), and **FriendlyCaptcha**(
[Terms](https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/terms/) | [Privacy](https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/)).

#### Email delivery

When a third-party email provider is configured, each notification email (recipient,
sender, subject, and the submitted form data) is sent to that provider’s API. Providers:**
SendGrid** ([Terms](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/tos) | [Privacy](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy)),**
SMTP2GO** ([Terms](https://www.smtp2go.com/terms/) | [Privacy](https://www.smtp2go.com/privacy/)),**
Mailgun** ([Terms](https://www.mailgun.com/legal/terms/) | [Privacy](https://www.mailgun.com/legal/privacy-policy/)),**
Postmark** ([Terms](https://postmarkapp.com/terms-of-service) | [Privacy](https://postmarkapp.com/privacy-policy)),**
Brevo** ([Terms](https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/) | [Privacy](https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/)),
and **Amazon SES** ([Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/) | [Privacy](https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/)).
Custom SMTP and Mailpit send to your own mail server; the default WordPress provider
uses `wp_mail()` with no external API call.

#### Integrations

When an integration is enabled, form submission data (form title, submitted field
values, and field metadata) is sent to the configured endpoint on each submission.
Zapier, Make.com, and custom webhooks also include the submitter’s IP address and
user agent.

 * **Zapier** — Automation platform ([Terms](https://zapier.com/legal/terms-of-service)
   | [Privacy](https://zapier.com/privacy))
 * **Make.com** — Automation platform ([Terms](https://www.make.com/en/terms) | 
   [Privacy](https://www.make.com/en/privacy-notice))
 * **Slack** — Team messaging; sends form title and field values to an Incoming 
   Webhook (no IP or user agent) ([Terms](https://slack.com/terms-of-service) | 
   [Privacy](https://slack.com/trust/privacy/privacy-policy))
 * **Mailchimp** — Email marketing; subscribes the visitor’s email and mapped fields
   to an audience ([Terms](https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/) | [Privacy](https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/))
 * **Brevo** — Email marketing; adds the visitor’s email and mapped fields to a 
   list ([Terms](https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/) | [Privacy](https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/))
 * **Custom Webhooks** — Sends a signed JSON payload to an endpoint URL you configure

Local data: submissions are stored in a custom table on your site; IP storage can
be full, anonymised, or off; automatic deletion can be enabled per your retention
setting; API keys and secrets are encrypted at rest and never exposed in the admin
UI or REST responses.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Formatrica Embed a form created with Formatrica.

## Installation

 1. Install through the WordPress plugins screen, or upload the files to `/wp-content/
    plugins/formatrica`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen.
 3. Visit **Formatrica  Forms** to create your first form (from scratch or a template).
 4. Configure email delivery in **Settings  Email** and send a test email before going
    live.
 5. Embed the form with the `[formatrica id="123"]` shortcode or the Formatrica block.

## FAQ

### How do I send a test email?

Open a form in the builder, click **Settings**, go to the **Email** tab, configure
your settings, and click **Send test email**.

### Where are submissions stored?

When storage is enabled, submissions are saved in the `{$wpdb->prefix}formatrica_submissions`
table with full field metadata. You can browse them under **Formatrica  Submissions**
and export to CSV.

### Can I create WordPress users from forms?

Yes. Use the “User Registration” template or set the form type to “User Registration”.
The form creates a WordPress user and sends a verification email using the same 
delivery provider configured for that form. The new user must confirm their email
before they can log in.

### What file types are allowed for uploads?

By default: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, PDF, DOC, DOCX, and TXT. Customise this with the`
formatrica_allowed_file_types` filter.

### How do I disable a form without losing its data?

Use the **Deactivate** action in the Forms list. Deactivated forms are hidden on
the front end and stop accepting submissions, but all data is kept. **Delete permanently**
removes the form and its submissions and cannot be undone.

### How do I connect forms to Zapier, Make.com, or Slack?

Open a form, go to **Settings  Integrations**, enable the integration, and paste
the webhook URL. For Zapier use “Webhooks by Zapier  Catch Hook”; for Make use “
Webhooks  Custom webhook”.

### What data is sent to integrations?

Integrations receive the form title, submitted field values, and field metadata;
Zapier, Make.com, and custom webhooks also include the submitter’s IP address and
user agent. Use the `formatrica_webhook_payload` filter to customise the payload.

## Changelog

#### 1.1.3 – 2026-07-16

 * Security: hardened form-submission authentication so unauthenticated API-style
   requests are rejected
 * Security: the visitor IP is now read only from the trusted connection by default(
   configurable for sites behind a reverse proxy), preventing rate-limit evasion
   via spoofed headers
 * Security: submission rate limiting is now atomic, and oversized submission requests
   are rejected before processing
 * Fixed: the background integration queue is now bounded, with an admin warning
   if it fills (for example when WP-Cron is not running)

#### 1.1.2 – 2026-07-15

 * Fixed a submission error (500) on forms containing a radio field
 * Fixed the FriendlyCaptcha widget failing to load on the public form
 * Dragging a field from the palette now inserts it where you drop it
 * Fixed the field-palette search freezing after a field had been dragged into the
   canvas
 * The Hidden field gained a Value input and no longer shows Placeholder/Required
   options that never applied
 * Stored email-delivery API keys show their placeholder again after reopening the
   builder (they were preserved, only looked unset)
 * Fixed the form accent colour resolving to white on some themes, making the submit
   button and focus outlines invisible
 * Fixed user-registration verification emails ignoring the site-wide email delivery
   provider

#### 1.1.1 – 2026-07-10

 * Two- and three-column form layouts are now free, plus a live block preview
 * Submissions screen: Export CSV and mark entries read/unread
 * Compact colour pickers with an inline hex field
 * Fixed a fatal error that could occur on activation
 * Security: hardened CSV export, error responses, and outbound webhooks (SSRF)

#### 1.1.0 – 2026-07-09

 * New field types (URL, Number, Range, Date & Time, Color) and per-field validation
   rules
 * Brevo integration, form theming (accent colour + light/dark/auto), and email 
   placeholders
 * New Submissions screen with CSV export; new templates; German/French/Macedonian
   translations
 * Security: authenticated AES-256-GCM encryption for stored API keys and secrets
