Neutrope Lead Desk for Contact Form 7 captures every Contact Form 7 submission into a dedicated database table and provides a simple WordPress admin interface for managing those submissions as leads.

The free version is intentionally focused: it saves submissions reliably, gives you an admin list/detail UI, lets you change status, add internal notes, and export to CSV. It does this without pulling in external services, trackers, or upsell banners on unrelated screens.

Key features

Automatic capture of every Contact Form 7 submission into a dedicated table ({prefix}nldcf7_entries)
The full submission payload is always stored as JSON, so nothing you asked users to type is lost
Mapped columns for name, email, phone, and company are extracted automatically using a configurable candidate list
Admin list screen with filtering by keyword, status, form, and date range, plus bulk actions (status change, trash, mark spam)
Detail screen with all submitted fields, submission metadata, status management, and internal team notes
CSV export (UTF-8 with BOM, CRLF) with date/status/form/spam filters — streamed in chunks for large datasets
Attachment metadata capture (file name, MIME type, size). The files themselves remain with Contact Form 7’s default handling
Privacy-friendly defaults: IP capture is OFF by default
Opt-in data deletion on uninstall (off by default so accidental deletes don’t nuke your leads)
Extensibility via action/filter hooks: nldcf7_after_entry_saved, nldcf7_after_note_added, nldcf7_after_status_changed, nldcf7_entry_data_before_insert, nldcf7_export_columns, nldcf7_export_row, nldcf7_statuses, nldcf7_required_capability
