Form Submissions
How UiChemy captures and stores form submissions from the Composer widget.
Every form submission captured by a Composer-managed form is stored in your WordPress database and appears at UiChemy → Form Submissions. You can read, filter, and export submissions from this screen without a separate CRM or third-party service.
What Are Form Submissions
When you use the Composer widget to build a section that includes a form, a contact form, a lead capture form, a newsletter signup, UiChemy captures and stores every submission directly in your WordPress database. You access all submissions from UiChemy → Form Submissions.
What Gets Captured
For each submission, UiChemy stores:
| Field | What it stores |
|---|---|
| ID | A unique identifier for the submission |
| Form Name | Which form on your site was submitted |
| Page | The page the form appeared on |
| The email address the user submitted | |
| Status | Whether the submission has been read or is still unread |
| Submitted At | The exact date and time of the submission |
Read and Unread Status
Every submission comes in as Unread until you open it. Once you view a submission, it's automatically marked as Read. This makes it easy to track which submissions you've already reviewed and which still need attention.
The page header shows three tabs with live counts:
- All, every submission regardless of status.
- Unread, submissions you haven't opened yet.
- Read, submissions you've already viewed.
Enabling Submission Storage
Form submission storage is controlled by the Store form submissions toggle in UiChemy → Settings. Make sure it's turned on, otherwise submissions won't be saved to the database and won't appear here.
Use Cases
- Tracking leads and inquiries from a Composer form without a separate CRM or form-plugin dashboard.
- Triaging which submissions still need a reply, using the Unread/Read tabs as a lightweight inbox.
- Confirming a form is wired up correctly during testing, submit it, then check it landed here.
Limitations
- Submissions only appear here if Store form submissions is turned on and the form's
save_dbaction is enabled, both are required. - This dashboard view filters by form and read status only. For page, date range, or free-text search, use Viewing & Exporting's classic list-table view instead.
