Neural Forms is a WordPress form plugin with a built-in lead inbox. Build forms with drag and drop, manage submissions in an email-style inbox, and let AI analyze every entry and draft your replies.
Most form plugins stop at collecting submissions. Neural Forms starts there. Every submission lands in your lead inbox with a status, a star, and (optionally) an AI-generated summary, category, priority score, and a draft reply ready to send.
An AI-assigned category (inquiry, support, sales, and more)
A priority score (0 to 100)
A drafted reply ready to review and send
Fast-tier AI model (premium tiers in Pro)
In the free plugin each entry can be analyzed once, on demand. Automatic analysis of every new submission, re-analysis, and regenerated or polished drafts are part of Neural Forms Pro.
The form builder, lead inbox, email notifications, CAPTCHA, and CSV export all work without any AI key. AI features are optional and pause when free credits are consumed.

01Install Neural Forms from your WordPress dashboard.
02Use the visual builder to add fields and configure settings, or pick a template from the library.
03Embed using the Gutenberg block or the [neural-forms id=”42″] shortcode.

External Services
This plugin connects to external third-party services. Most connections require explicit opt-in (entering an API key or selecting a service). One service (the template library) is contacted when you open the Templates screen to fetch the list of available form templates. The disclosures below describe each service, what data is sent, when, and why.
Neural Forms API
When you enable AI features and enter a Neural Forms API key in Settings, the plugin sends form submission content (the text your visitors enter) and form field metadata to the Neural Forms API at api.neuralforms.ai for AI analysis. This includes generating submission summaries, categories, priority scores, and draft replies. No data is sent unless you have enabled AI and provided an API key. The plugin never sends IP addresses, WordPress admin credentials, or WordPress core data to this service.
Service URL: https://api.neuralforms.ai
Service website: https://neuralforms.ai
Terms of Service: https://neuralforms.ai/terms-and-conditions/
When you open the Templates screen in Neural Forms, the plugin connects to the template library at templates.neuralforms.ai to fetch the catalog of available form templates. When you click to import a specific template, the plugin fetches that template’s content from the same host. The plugin sends the template ID and the builder type (block-editor) with each request. No form submission data, no visitor data, no WordPress admin information, and no API keys are sent. The catalog is cached locally for 6 hours to reduce remote requests. The host is fixed to templates.neuralforms.ai by default and validated against an allowlist before every request.

When you select Cloudflare Turnstile as your CAPTCHA provider and configure your site and secret keys, the plugin loads the Turnstile challenge script on pages with forms and verifies visitor responses server-side via the Cloudflare API. This service is used only when Turnstile is selected as the CAPTCHA provider in Settings.
Service website: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/
Terms of Service: https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/
When you select Google reCAPTCHA v2 as your CAPTCHA provider and configure your site and secret keys, the plugin loads the reCAPTCHA challenge script on pages with forms and verifies visitor responses server-side via the Google API. This service is used only when reCAPTCHA v2 is selected as the CAPTCHA provider in Settings.

Neural Forms ships pre-built JavaScript and CSS files in modules/admin/build/ so the plugin works on a clean WordPress install without a Node toolchain. The compiled/generated files are:
modules/admin/webpack.config.js : webpack configuration (extends @wordpress/scripts ) modules/admin/build/index.js is built from modules/admin/src/index.js and the modules it imports. modules/admin/build/block.js is built from modules/admin/src/block-index.js . Both are bundled by @wordpress/scripts (webpack + Babel) using the entry points declared in modules/admin/webpack.config.js . No obfuscation, packing, or encoding step is applied.
To rebuild the generated assets from source:
06Install Node.js 18 or newer and npm.
07Open a terminal in the plugin directory.
08Run: cd modules/admin npm install npm run build
This regenerates the files in modules/admin/build/ from modules/admin/src/ .

Frequently asked questions.
Do I need an API key to use Neural Forms?
No. The form builder, lead inbox, template library, email notifications, CAPTCHA, and CSV export all work without any API key. The AI features (on-demand summary, category, priority and a draft reply for any entry) require a free Neural Forms API key, which you can get at neuralforms.ai . 100 free AI credits are included on signup. Automatic analysis of every new submission is a Neural Forms Pro feature.
What data does the AI feature send to your servers?
When AI is enabled, the plugin sends the form submission text (the visitor’s answers) and the form schema (field types and labels) to the Neural Forms API at api.neuralforms.ai. No IP addresses, no WordPress admin emails, and no WordPress core data are sent. Full Privacy Policy .
What data does the template library send to your servers?
When you open the Templates screen, the plugin connects to templates.neuralforms.ai to fetch the catalog of available form templates. When you click to import a template, the plugin fetches that template’s content. The plugin sends only the template ID and builder type with each request. No form submission data, no visitor data, no WordPress admin information, and no API keys are sent. The catalog is cached locally for 6 hours to minimize remote requests.
Is Neural Forms GDPR friendly?
Yes. Neural Forms includes a Privacy Mode toggle that disables IP address and user-agent storage on submissions. When enabled, no personally identifiable visitor metadata is stored. For AI features, form submission content is processed by the Neural Forms API. See the Privacy Policy for full data handling details.
Will this slow down my site?
No. Neural Forms loads assets only on pages where a form is rendered. The admin bundle loads only on Neural Forms admin screens. AI processing happens asynchronously via WP-Cron and never blocks the visitor’s form submission. The template catalog is cached for 6 hours so the Templates screen loads from cache after the first fetch.
Can I use this with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)?
Yes. Neural Forms ships a native Gutenberg block ( neural-forms/form ) with 150+ styling attributes. Search for “Neural Forms” in the block inserter.
What field types are supported?
Text, Email, Textarea, Select, Checkbox, Checkboxes, Number, Phone, URL, Date, Acceptance, Radio, Hidden, Range, Poll, Quiz, File Upload, and Rating. That is 18 field types in the free version. Two additional Pro fields (Matrix and Repeater) are available in Neural Forms Pro.
How does spam protection work?
Neural Forms supports Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA v2 as CAPTCHA providers. Configure your preferred provider in Settings with your site and secret keys. Pro users also get AI spam detection with an adjustable threshold.
Can I import my Contact Form 7 forms?
Yes. Go to Neural Forms > Import . Your Contact Form 7 forms are listed automatically; preview one and import it with one click. Field types, required flags, placeholders, defaults, options and file limits are mapped. Labels are generated from the CF7 field names (for example “your-name” becomes “Your Name”), so rename them in the builder if your CF7 form used different label text.
Can I export my form submissions?
Yes. Go to Neural Forms > Entries , select a form, and click Export CSV . Filter by date range before exporting.
Does Neural Forms create custom database tables?
Yes. Neural Forms creates 6 custom tables for forms, entries, AI responses, message threads, queue jobs, and logs. All tables are completely removed when you delete (not just deactivate) the plugin via the WordPress Plugins screen.
Where can I find documentation?
Full documentation is available at neuralforms.ai/documentation .
