What's New

REST API

• Full CRUD REST API for submissions at cf/v1 namespace
• Collection endpoints with pagination, filtering by status/spam/date/search
• Status validation returns proper 400/404 errors

Submission Status Tracking

• New status field: new, read, replied, archived
• Auto-marks submissions as "read" when viewed
• Auto-marks as "replied" after sending a reply
• Bulk status actions in the submissions table
• Status badges in the global submissions view

Conditional Actions

• Run form actions only when field conditions are met
• Operators: equals, not equals, contains, does not contain, is empty, is not empty
• AND logic — all conditions must match for the action to fire

Spam Protection

• Akismet whitelist keywords — bypass spam checks for trusted submissions
• Configurable in Settings → Spam Protection

Quality of Life

• One-click form duplication from the forms list
• Status column included in CSV exports
• Polls database tables now created on activation/migration
• Consistent border-radius across admin UI

Security Fixes

• Escaped all HTML name attributes in condition row output (XSS)
• Added capability check to form duplication handler
• REST API validates status values on update

What's New

Emailit Integration

• Send Email via Emailit — New action to send form notification emails through the Emailit API instead of wp_mail()
• Emailit Subscribe — Add contacts to Emailit audiences on form submission, with multi-audience support and custom field mapping
• Settings — Emailit API key configuration in global settings

Data Variable Fixes

• Fixed [all:label] — was silently broken (never implemented). Now renders all submission fields with human-readable labels extracted from form HTML
• Fixed [all], [CF_FORM_ID], [CF_FORM_TITLE] — also previously non-functional
• Rewrote cf_replace_data_variables() with clean switch-based implementation

Auto-Fill Action Defaults

• All actions (Email, Autoresponder, MailerPress, Emailit, Emailit Subscribe) now auto-detect field names from form HTML markup when first created
• No more manually typing [EMAIL], [FIRST_NAME], etc. — fields are pre-populated
