Form Monitor for Contact Form 7 – Email Delivery Alerts
Contact Form 7 can break silently. A plugin update, a mail-server change, an expired SMTP password, or a hosting move, and your enquiries stop arriving. Nothing on your site looks wrong.

Contact Form 7 can break silently. A plugin update, a mail-server change, an expired SMTP password, or a hosting move, and your enquiries stop arriving. Nothing on your site looks wrong. The form still says “Thank you for your message.” You find out weeks later, when a customer asks why nobody called back.
Arvelos Form Monitor catches it for you. On a schedule, and again right after every plugin, theme, or WordPress update, it sends a real test submission through your live Contact Form 7 forms and checks that it goes through. If a check fails, you get an email. When it recovers, you get another. When everything is fine, you hear nothing.
- Tests run through your actual forms, not a simulated copy.
- Test messages never reach your real recipients and never bypass your spam protection.
- Re-checks automatically after updates, when forms most often break.
- Works across all your client sites: one subscription covers up to 10 sites.
Pricing: the plugin is free, and your first test is free. Scheduled monitoring is a subscription through the Arvelos service; current pricing is at https://clickarvelos.com/products/wordpress-form-monitoring/.
How it works: this plugin is the small piece that runs on your site. It pairs with a free Arvelos account (create one at https://forms.clickarvelos.com/onboarding), which runs the tests and sends the alerts. On its own, without pairing, the plugin does nothing and sends nothing.
What a passing status means: a controlled test submission was accepted by your form and its notification reached a mailbox Arvelos controls for the test.
What it does not mean: it does not verify your real inbox and does not guarantee delivery of real visitor enquiries. It is a signal from a synthetic test, not a delivery guarantee.
Boundaries this plugin respects:
- It only authorizes a submission that carries a valid, unexpired, single-use, site-scoped token issued by the Arvelos service. It never mints tokens itself and never authorizes an ordinary visitor submission.
- It never circumvents a CAPTCHA (reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile). A form protected by one is reported as unsupported and is not monitored.
