SubmitSignal

Popis

SubmitSignal connects an administrator-authorized WordPress website to the hosted SubmitSignal monitoring service. It reports metadata about successful WPForms processing and WordPress mail-transport outcomes. The service can submit visibly labeled synthetic contact inquiries to forms the account owner explicitly selects.

This is the official SubmitSignal WordPress connector. SubmitSignal, this plugin and the hosted monitoring service are owned and operated by Axtrel AI LLC. The official service website is https://getsubmitsignal.com. This connector uses the service API at https://submitsignal.brinybadge64.chatgpt.site.

Supported launch coverage is ordinary WPForms Lite contact forms. WPForms Pro is not included in supported launch coverage until acceptance testing with a licensed Pro installation is complete.

The free plugin requires a SubmitSignal service account. The free service tier includes manual diagnostics for one website and one monitor, with up to three checks per day. Scheduled daily monitoring and automated email failure alerts require an active Solo or Agency subscription. Current availability and subscription pricing are shown on the service website.

Browser checks require the service’s browser runner to be configured, and scheduled monitoring and email alerts also depend on the hosted scheduler and email service. The dashboard shows current availability. Installing this plugin alone does not start synthetic submissions or promise active scheduled checks.

Supported first-release forms contain ordinary name, email, text and paragraph fields, with optional HTML, hidden fields and dividers. Payment, registration, uploads, signatures, custom choice fields and multi-step forms are excluded. CAPTCHA, external assets, custom validation, redirects and custom confirmations can cause an inconclusive result. Checks do not bypass CAPTCHA or other anti-spam protections.

Synthetic inquiries use the label „SubmitSignal automated test“ and the reserved example.com email domain. Existing autoresponders and CRM integrations may still run. Owners must use a suitable ordinary contact form and exclude labeled tests from reporting and downstream sequences. This plugin does not automatically suppress or change existing integrations.

Mail handoff means WordPress’s wp_mail_succeeded hook reported success. This is not proof that the intended recipient’s inbox received the email. Custom mail providers which bypass WordPress hooks remain unverified. WPForms can send notifications asynchronously, so mail outcomes can arrive later than form acceptance.

Optional test inbox receipts require connector 0.2.0 or later, a configured receiving service, the WordPress administrator’s separate test-copy consent, and consent on the hosted monitor. A short-lived signed test authorization and one-use server claim permit a BCC only when every entered and processed field matches fixed synthetic test values. The complete synthetic notification, including template content and sender/recipient headers, is received by SubmitSignal’s test destination at Resend. Ordinary visitor inquiries are not copied. Custom hidden values, attachments, transformed field values and asynchronous contexts without the current ticket remain unverified. Leave copies disabled if notification templates contain private static information.

Test inbox receipt proves arrival at this one receiving provider only. It does not prove delivery to your own inbox, spam placement, another provider, or CRM. Missing receipts are not automatically failures. The original notification’s recipients and body are not changed; an authorized test adds one BCC.

External service and privacy

No external data is transferred until an administrator explicitly accepts the disclosure and connects a service account in Settings > SubmitSignal.

Upon connection, the plugin sends the website URL/name, compatible form IDs/names and a temporary public verification token. It stores the returned private service token in a non-autoloaded WordPress option. The service verifies website ownership through a short-lived public REST endpoint, then the verification token is deleted.

While connected, the plugin sends compatible form inventories, heartbeat timestamps, random event IDs, form IDs, form-processing outcomes, mail-transport outcomes and synthetic run references. This default metadata stream excludes entered field values, visitor names, email addresses, recipients, message content, visitor IP addresses and cookies. Separately enabled synthetic notification copies are processed by Resend as described above. The service records only the receiving event ID, test/run identifiers, unique test destination and receipt timestamps; it does not fetch the received message body. The hosted browser checks visit publicly accessible form pages; the hosted service’s privacy policy separately describes that processing.

Each synchronization deletes queued metadata older than seven days. WP-Cron runs on site traffic, so sites without traffic may retain older records until the next synchronization, disconnect or uninstall. WP-Cron does not guarantee five-minute execution. A best-effort immediate delivery is retried safely with the same event identifier until the service acknowledges it or it is removed during synchronization. Mail messages receive an opaque X-SubmitSignal-Event header used only to correlate transport status; related metadata expires after seven days.

Disconnecting stops metadata transfer and deletes the local connection token and queued events. Temporary mail-correlation records stored in a persistent object cache may remain until they expire, within seven days. Delete the website separately in the hosted dashboard to revoke the server token and remove hosted records. Uninstall also removes local plugin tables/options; the same cache-expiry limit applies to temporary correlation records. The plugin never deletes WPForms entries or modifies existing lead integrations.
