Recent Feature Additions
Latest added features:
EU Data Residency
NEWChoose where your form data lives when you sign up. Pick European Union (Frankfurt) and your submissions, file attachments and delivery logs are stored in the EU (AWS eu-central-1), not the United States.
- Covers form data: submissions, file attachments, webhook delivery logs and AI reply logs
- Account and billing data, email delivery and operational request logs remain US-processed for every account
- Team members in another region still see and manage the whole workspace
- Change it from your account until your first submission arrives — after that it's fixed, because the data physically lives there

Granular Email Preferences & No-Login Unsubscribe
NEWChoose exactly which emails you get, without signing in. The single marketing switch is now four independent preferences, and the link in every email footer opens a full preference center — no password, no account lookup. Turning off discount emails no longer takes you off the product announcement list.
- Four toggles: product updates, offers and promotions, form submission notifications, usage and quota alerts
- The same panel appears in Account → Notifications and on the emailed preference link
- Security, billing, and service alerts are listed as always sent, so opting out can never break your forms
- One-click unsubscribe in Gmail and Apple Mail now turns off only the category of the email you were reading
- Existing preferences carry over automatically — nothing to re-set

Form Rules
NEWPROConditional when/then logic for every form. Build rules that run top to bottom on each submission — after spam filtering, before delivery — so the right people get the right submissions without any code or third-party automation.
- Conditions on any submitted field value on Pro; country, day of week, hour of day, UTM parameter, attachment, spam flag, page URL, referrer and the
matches regexoperator on Agency - Match ALL or ANY conditions — up to 10 conditions and 5 actions per rule, with optional stop-processing
- Actions: route to another verified recipient, set the subject with
{{fieldName}}placeholders, set reply-to, redirect the visitor, post to Slack / Discord / Telegram, add to Google Sheets / Airtable / Notion, call a webhook, skip the default email, or mark as spam or discard - Recipients must be already-verified addresses — rules can never email an unverified one
- Dry-run tester: check in-progress rules against a sample submission with a per-condition, per-action trace; nothing is sent or stored
- Every real submission keeps its own rule trace in the submission timeline
- Six one-click recipes to start from, including spam quarantine, after-hours to Slack, and country-based routing
- Pro: 10 rules per form; Agency: 25

Separate Submission & Reply Email Templates
NEWPROThe Branding tab now manages two independent templates. Style the submission notification you receive — custom subject, uploaded logo, header title, brand colors, or full HTML — separately from the auto-reply and AI-reply emails your submitters receive. Replies now default to a plain, personal-looking email with no logo, colors, or footer, so they read as if you typed them yourself.
- Submission email: subject with
{{placeholders}}, logo upload, header title, brand colors — no HTML required - Reply styling options: plain (recommended), match the submission email, or a dedicated custom HTML template
- Each template has its own switch and its own live preview
- Existing custom HTML templates keep applying to replies exactly as before — no action needed

WordPress Plugin
NEWConnect your account once, then embed any of your forms on any page. The plugin now supports a private account API key that lists every form on your account in WordPress — pick one from a dropdown and it renders live with its validation, file uploads, and CAPTCHA. Elementor Pro and Contact Form 7 forwarding are unchanged.
- New StaticForms block — pick a form from a dropdown in the block editor, no code required
- New
[staticforms form="..."]shortcode mode to embed a builder form anywhere - Redesigned settings page with connection status and a copy-ready snippet for each form
- Elementor Pro: add the StaticForms action under Actions After Submit
- Contact Form 7: global toggle + per-form opt-out via Additional Settings
- Original
[staticforms]plain HTML contact form shortcode unchanged - Server-to-server submission — API key never reaches the browser
- Same endpoint as a plain HTML form — zero-downtime migration path

Team Admin Form Management

- Admins can create, edit, and delete forms in the owner's workspace
- All existing viewer-level actions (inbox, submissions, exports) still apply
- Owner retains full control and can demote any admin at any time

- Form field names become column headers automatically
- New fields dynamically added as new columns
- Per-account connections with independent spreadsheets
- Enable/disable sync without disconnecting
