Formrio Addons for WPForms

Description

Formrio Addons for WPForms (FAWPF) is a modular enhancement suite for the WPForms builder. It ships as a set of free addons — new form fields, a submission-storage feature, and workflow integrations — that you switch on and off from the dedicated Formrio Addons Addons tab. Whatever you enable appears instantly inside the WPForms form builder with the standard options you already know.

Built as a lightweight layer on top of WPForms (Lite or Pro), it adds professional input types, keeps every submission searchable in your own database, and pushes entries to Webhooks and Telegram — no new framework, no learning curve.

Phone

A dedicated phone-number field with three ready-made formats:

  • International — country selector with a separate, always-visible dial code and a full international number format.
  • Smart — searchable country dropdown with strict, real-number validation as the visitor types.
  • US — automatic (000) 000-0000 input mask.

Optionally detect the visitor’s country by IP (GeoIP) and enable front-end validation that blocks submission until a valid number is entered. Works with the required-field setting like any other WPForms field.

Address

Collect full postal addresses without stacking five separate fields. Choose a US or International layout, and the field renders the appropriate address lines (street, city, state/province, postal code, country) inside one tidy field group.

Date Time

A combined date-and-time input with 17+ format presets — from m/d/Y and Y-m-d to d/m/Y h:i A and 24-hour time. Use it as a date picker only, a time picker only, or both, with mask-guided entry and an interactive calendar.

Restrict Date

A date picker you fully control:

  • Minimum and/or maximum date — picked on a calendar or set relative to today (for example “today + 30 days”, “today − 6 months”, “+2 years”).
  • Block whole weekdays (e.g. no weekends).
  • Exclude individual dates (one per line, yyyy-mm-dd).

Perfect for booking forms, event sign-ups, and any form that should reject out-of-range dates.

Country List

Two display styles:

  • Smart — an international-style country picker with flag and a searchable country dropdown.
  • List — a simple native dropdown of all countries.

Choose a default country, and the field stores the selected value cleanly with the rest of the submission.

Star Rating

Let visitors rate anything — products, sessions, support, content — with a clickable star field. Choose from multiple styles and sizes to match your form’s look.

IBAN

An International Bank Account Number input that auto-formats the number into readable groups as the visitor types, making long IBANs easier to enter correctly.

Website / URL

A dedicated field for collecting website and URL addresses, so the input is validated as a proper URL before it is accepted.

Simple Captcha

Keep bots out without reCAPTCHA friction. Write your own question (for example “What is 2 + 2?”) and define one or more accepted answers — visitors simply type the correct reply.

Dynamic Text

Auto-fill a field from 25+ dynamic sources, including:

  • URL GET parameters and query variables
  • Post/page ID, title, URL, and post meta
  • User ID, email, name, login, role, registration date, and user meta
  • Admin email, site URL, current date/time/timestamp, IP address, referrer URL, user agent, server hostname
  • Random numbers/strings, login state, cookies, and session values

Display the result normally, hide it, or show it disabled — handy for lead scoring, hidden tracking values, and personalized forms.

Hidden Field

Carry invisible data with every submission. Give the field any default value — including WPForms Smart Tags such as {page_url} or {user_email} — and it is recorded silently in entries and notifications. The label is only for your own reference and is never shown to visitors.

Honeypot

An invisible anti-spam trap. The field is hidden from real users, but bots that auto-fill every input trip it — and the submission is quietly rejected as spam.

Section Divider

Break long forms into clear, readable sections with a heading and description divider between groups of fields.

Database Entries

Capture every submission in a dedicated table inside your own WordPress database, then manage it from a standalone admin screen:

  • List entries per form, with pagination and filtering
  • Search submissions and open full entry details
  • Mark entries read/unread and update status
  • Delete entries individually or in bulk
  • Export any form’s entries to CSV in one click

No reliance on email, and no data is sent to any third party.

Webhooks

Send every submission to any URL — Zapier, Make, Slack, or your own endpoint:

  • Configure multiple named connections per form from the builder’s Settings Webhooks panel
  • Test each connection with a built-in Send Test button
  • Deliveries run on WPForms’ background task queue, so submitting the form stays fast

Telegram

Push each submission as a formatted message to a Telegram chat or channel:

  • Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token
  • Enter the chat ID once per form in Settings Telegram
  • Verify the setup with the built-in Send Test button
  • Every new submission is delivered automatically

Why choose Formrio Addons?

  • 16 free addons, truly modular — activate only what you need; unused code stays off your site.
  • Native WPForms experience — addons appear in the standard builder UI with the usual options (labels, descriptions, required, size, CSS classes).
  • Privacy friendly — entries live in your own database; no third-party storage required.
  • Active data controls — search, filter, status, and CSV export built in.
  • Works with WPForms Lite and Pro.

Install WPForms (Lite or Pro), activate Formrio Addons, then switch on the addons you need from the Formrio Addons menu and start building.

Third Party Libraries

External services

Formrio Addons for WPForms connects to the third-party services below only for the specific features named. Nothing is transmitted unless the relevant addon is enabled and configured by the site owner, and no data is ever sent to the plugin author.

Telegram Bot API

Used by the Telegram integration to deliver form-submission notifications to a chat or channel chosen by the site owner.

  • What is sent: the submitted form’s field values, the entry ID, and the submission date/time, formatted into a message and posted to https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage together with the bot token and chat ID configured by the site owner.
  • When: every time a form with the Telegram integration enabled and fully configured is submitted, and when the site owner clicks Send Test.
  • Provided by: Telegram. Terms of Service · Privacy Policy.

ipinfo.io

Used by the Phone field when its “Detect visitor’s country by IP (GeoIP)” option is enabled, to preselect the visitor’s country.

  • What is sent: the visitor’s IP address is included automatically in the request made from their browser to https://ipinfo.io, which returns the matching country code.
  • When: when a form containing a Phone field with GeoIP enabled is loaded in a visitor’s browser.
  • Provided by: IPinfo. Terms of Service · Privacy Policy.

Webhooks (site-owner-configured endpoint)

The Webhooks integration sends submission data to any URL the site owner enters (for example Zapier, Make, or Slack). Because the destination is chosen by the site owner and is not a service operated by this plugin, the terms of service and privacy policy of that destination are yours to review before enabling a webhook.

Source Code

The human-readable development source lives in the src/ directory. It is compiled into the
assets/ directory, which is what WordPress loads at runtime — the distributed plugin zip
ships the built files.

Installation

  1. Install and activate WPForms (Lite or Pro) — Formrio Addons requires it.
  2. Upload the formrio-addons-for-wpforms folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the plugin zip via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.
  3. Activate Formrio Addons for WPForms through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  4. Go to Formrio Addons in the admin menu to enable the fields, features, and integrations you want.
  5. Open any form in the WPForms builder — your enabled fields and integration settings are ready to use.

FAQ

Do I need the WPForms plugin?

Yes. Formrio Addons for WPForms is an add-on and requires the free WPForms Lite plugin (or WPForms Pro) to be installed and active.

Does it work with WPForms Lite, or only Pro?

It works with both WPForms Lite and WPForms Pro. The fields, entries, Webhooks, and Telegram features are built on WPForms’ public field and builder APIs available in the free plugin.

Where do form submissions get stored?

When the Database Entries feature is enabled, each submission is saved to a dedicated table in your own WordPress database. You can view, filter, search, update status, and export them to CSV from the Formrio Addons Entries screen. No data is sent to any third party.

How do I send a form to Telegram?

  1. Create a bot with @BotFather and copy its token.
  2. Get your chat ID (or add the bot to your channel).
  3. In the WPForms builder, open Settings Telegram, paste the bot token and chat ID, then click Send Test.
  4. Save the form — each new submission is delivered as a message.

How do I connect a form to a webhook or Zapier?

In the WPForms builder open Settings Webhooks, click Add New Webhook, name it, and paste the destination URL. You can add several webhooks per form and test each one. Deliveries are queued in the background so submitting the form stays fast.

Can I use the fields conditionally (show/hide based on other fields)?

The fields are standard WPForms fields, so they respect your existing form logic. For full conditional show/hide behavior, enable WPForms’ own Conditional Logic (available in WPForms Pro).

Will enabling addons slow down my site?

No. Every field, feature, and integration is opt-in from the Addons tab, and front-end assets are only loaded on pages that display a WPForms form.
