Upload the ZIP under Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard and hit Activate. You'll land on the setup screen automatically.

Add a block and search “SentientMail Form”, or paste a shortcode. Every subscriber lands in your SentientMail audience, ready for journeys and campaigns.

Everything a growing site needs from forms

Not just a signup box. A complete forms toolkit, wired into a real email platform.

📬

Audience sync

Signups and form submissions become contacts in SentientMail with consent tracking, so journeys and campaigns can pick them up immediately.

🧱

Simple form builder

14 field types including file uploads. Click to add, click to edit, drag to reorder. No page builder required, no lock-in.

🗂️

Entries & notifications

Every submission is saved in your dashboard with CSV export, and emailed to you with smart tags like {all_fields}.

💌

Welcome emails

Trigger a SentientMail transactional email to new subscribers: a welcome note, a promo code, a lead magnet. Templates live in SentientMail.

🛡️

Invisible anti-spam

Honeypot and time-trap protection out of the box, with optional Cloudflare Turnstile. No puzzle-solving for your visitors.

🔌

Webhooks & imports

Signed outgoing webhooks for Zapier, Make, or your own apps. Switching from WPForms? Import your forms and entries in one click.

◇ Switching is painless

Leaving WPForms? Bring everything with you.

The importer recreates your forms with fields, notifications, and confirmations intact, migrates your stored entries, and even answers your existing [wpforms] shortcodes so you don't have to edit a single page.

  • One-click import of forms and entries
  • Legacy shortcodes keep working after the switch
  • Smart tags use the same syntax you already know
# Your existing pages keep working:

[wpforms id="1187"]
↓ automatically renders as
[sentientmail_form id=12]

# fields, entries, notifications: imported
# pages edited: zero

Questions, answered

Do I need a SentientMail account?

No. Forms, entries, and email notifications work completely standalone. A free SentientMail account adds audience sync, journeys, campaigns, and welcome emails when you're ready.

Is it really free?

Yes. The plugin is free and open source under the GPLv2 license, with every feature included. SentientMail itself has a free sandbox tier, and paid plans only when you're ready to send at volume.

Will it work with my theme and page builder?

The form inherits your theme's typography and colors, and the shortcode works anywhere shortcodes are supported. In the block editor, just add the “SentientMail Form” block.

What data does the plugin send to SentientMail?

Only what a form collects, and only when you've connected an API key and enabled sync for that form. Nothing else leaves your site, and entries stay in your own WordPress database.
