## Descripción

**FlowForms is the easiest way to build Typeform-style conversational forms in WordPress—
without the SaaS price tag.**

Most contact form plugins give you a wall of fields. FlowForms gives your visitors
a _conversation_. One question at a time, guided and focused — the result is higher
completion rates, better responses, and a user experience that feels modern and 
intentional.

Whether you’re collecting leads, running surveys, gathering testimonials, or building
customer feedback forms, FlowForms delivers a premium, interactive form experience
that lives on _your_ server, under _your_ control, with no monthly subscription 
required.

**Why FlowForms?**
 Typeform costs $25–$83/month. FlowForms is self-hosted and free.
Same conversational UX — your WordPress site, your data.

[View Demo](https://www.wpflowforms.com/demo) | [Templates](https://www.wpflowforms.com/templates)

#### Conversational, Step-by-Step Forms

FlowForms presents one question at a time, just like Typeform. This reduces overwhelm,
keeps respondents focused, and significantly improves form completion rates compared
to traditional multi-field forms.

Every form flows through three stages:

 * **Welcome Screen** — customisable title, description, start button, and background
   image
 * **Questions** — any combination of 8 field types, drag-to-reorder
 * **Thank You Screen** — closing message with optional redirect URL, delay, and
   social share buttons

#### Drag & Drop Form Builder

Build any form in minutes without touching a line of code. The intuitive React-powered
drag-and-drop builder lets you add, reorder, and configure questions visually. What
you build is exactly what your visitors see.

#### 8 Ready-to-Use Field Types

FlowForms ships with all the essentials:

 * **Short Text** — single-line text input
 * **Long Text** — multi-line paragraph / textarea
 * **Multiple Choice** — single-select with optional "Other" answer
 * **Checkboxes** — multi-select with min/max limits and optional "Other" answer
 * **Rating** — star rating with configurable max stars and shape
 * **Yes / No** — two-button question with customisable labels
 * **Email** — with format validation and optional confirm-email mode
 * **Number** — numeric input with optional min/max validation

#### Beautiful Design Customisation

Every form is independently styled with a live design panel. Customise:

 * Background colour
 * Title, description, answer, hint, field, and button colours
 * Button hover colour and text
 * Star rating colour
 * Layout alignment: left or centered
 * Border radius: angular, rounded, or full
 * Google Fonts
 * Font size: small, regular, or large

Forms look great on every device — FlowForms is fully responsive and mobile-ready.

#### Flexible Embed Options

Embed your forms anywhere in WordPress using your preferred method:

 * **Shortcode:** `[flowform id="123"]`
 * **Gutenberg Block:** native `FlowForm` block — drag it straight into the editor
 * **Full-Page URL:** `/flowform/{id}` — share a direct link to a distraction-free
   form page

#### Pre-Built Form Templates

Get started in seconds with 4 ready-to-use templates:

 * Contact Form
 * Lead Generation Survey
 * Customer Feedback
 * Testimonial Form

#### Submission Management

Every submission is stored securely in your WordPress database. The built-in entries
dashboard gives you full control:

 * Paginated list with search and sorting
 * Individual entry detail view
 * Bulk actions: mark read/unread, star, trash, delete permanently
 * Status filters: All, Starred, Spam, Trash
 * Unread count badge in the admin menu

#### Email Notifications

Get notified the moment someone submits your form. Configure the recipient, subject,
sender name, reply-to address, and message body — all with smart tag support.

**Available smart tags:** `{admin_email}`, `{site_name}`, `{form_name}`, `{all_fields}`

#### Built-In Spam Protection

Three layers of anti-spam run automatically on every submission — no CAPTCHA plugins
required:

 1. **Honeypot field** — invisible to humans, catches bots
 2. **Rotating server-side token** — tied to each form, refreshed daily
 3. **Akismet integration** — if Akismet is active, submissions are checked automatically;
    spam entries are flagged and saved for review

#### Multilingual Ready

Every user-facing string — button labels, validation messages, placeholders, error
messages — is customisable from the Global Settings panel. No translation plugin
needed to adapt FlowForms for any language.

#### FlowForms Pro (Coming Soon)

We are actively researching the features WordPress users most want to pay for. The
Pro version will be a self-hosted annual licence — significantly cheaper than Typeform
or Jotform — and will extend the free plugin without replacing it.

Candidate Pro features under research:

 * Conditional logic (show/hide questions based on answers)
 * Multiple email notifications and respondent confirmation emails
 * Email marketing integrations (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and more)
 * File upload field
 * Stripe payment field
 * CSV / Excel entry export
 * Opinion scale / NPS field
 * Date & time picker field
 * Phone number field with country code
 * GDPR consent checkbox field
 * Form scheduling (open/close at a specific date)
 * Submission limits (cap responses at a set number)
 * Zapier / webhook integrations
 * Calculator & quiz scoring
 * Extended pro template library

and tell us which feature matters most to you.

#### Why Self-Hosted Beats SaaS for Forms

 * **Monthly cost:** Free (vs $25–$83/mo for Typeform, $34–$99/mo for Jotform)
 * **Your own server:** Yes — all data stays in your WordPress database
 * **Your own data:** Yes — no third-party servers, no vendor lock-in
 * **WordPress-native:** Yes — Gutenberg block, shortcode, full-page URL
 * **Conversational UX:** Yes — one question at a time, just like Typeform

    the WordPress plugin screen.

## FAQ

### How is this different from Contact Form 7 or WPForms?

Traditional form plugins display all fields at once on a single page. FlowForms 
shows one question at a time in a guided, conversational flow — similar to Typeform.
This typically increases completion rates and produces more thoughtful responses.

### Is this a Typeform alternative for WordPress?

Yes. FlowForms is built specifically to bring the Typeform-style conversational 
form experience to self-hosted WordPress — without a monthly SaaS subscription.

### Where are form submissions stored?

All submissions are stored in your own WordPress database. No data is sent to external
servers.

### Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. FlowForms includes a native Gutenberg block. You can also use the `[flowform
id="123"]` shortcode in classic editor or anywhere shortcodes are supported.

### Does it work with page builders?

Any page builder that supports shortcodes will work with the `[flowform id="123"]`
shortcode.

### Does it work with Akismet?

Yes. If Akismet is active on your site, FlowForms automatically checks submissions
and flags spam entries in your dashboard.

### Can I customise the form design?

Yes. The form builder includes a Design panel where you can adjust colours, fonts,
button styles, and layout to match your brand.

### Can I translate the form interface into another language?

Yes. Every user-facing string is customisable from **FlowForms  Global Settings  
Messages** — no translation plugin required.

### What happens if I trash a form?

Trashed forms display a notice to admins on the frontend, and an empty string to
visitors. You can restore a form from the All Forms page.

### What is the draft/publish workflow?

Changes you make in the builder are auto-saved to a draft. Your live form is only
updated when you click **Publish**. This lets you safely edit a live form without
affecting visitors until you are ready.

### Is there a Pro version?

A Pro version is in active research. [Join the waitlist](https://www.wpflowforms.com/#pro-waitlist)
to be notified at launch and help us decide which features to build first.

The plugin has a lot going for it. Nice starter templates, plenty of styling options,
smooth animations, and each form gets its own dedicated page. Entries can be starred
and organized, and most (all?) messages are either translatable or configurable 
in the settings menu. A couple of things didn’t work for me though. The View button
in the entries section does nothing, and sorting entries by form is also broken.
Color settings are per form rather than per page, which may or may not suit your
workflow. Overall a great plugin. I covered it in more detail in my latest Plugin
Check video on @wordpress103 on Youtube.

### 󠀁[Fun, useful plugin but needs a little more](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fun-useful-plugin-but-needs-a-little-more-2/)󠁿

 [unknownth](https://profiles.wordpress.org/unknownth/) 6 de mayo de 2026

Downloaded this cool plugin and have been playing with it for a short few hours.
I do realise it’s free there’s been a lot of work put into it and it seems easy 
to use. However, I’m using an Android tablet working through Brave browser as I 
don’t want a PC, and the plugin as I see it on my screen has only 1 font, and no
options for more, and a colour picker would be handy – I’ve had to use my site colour
picker to get the right codes. I used the feedback template as a test which went
pretty well except that I can’t find a way the remove the “stool” photo, even though
I’ve uploaded my own photos. But, these are fairly minor things which I hope can
be fixed, as I really like this plugin. This is a followup 6 days after posting 
t here and in the support section. No response from the developer, so I will be 
deleting this plugin as there’s been no support. I’ll take a look in a couple of
months to see if issues have been fixed.
