the collection-to-analysis gap is real. every wordpress agency has watched users manually csv-shuffle data between forms and dashboards for years.

real q: does ivyforms carry any provenance from form submission through to wpDataTables? like "this row came from this form filled by this person on this date"? asking because trust in the analysis depends entirely on trusting the collection and most tools quietly drop that link.

Hello @sara_idvorac @sanja_janic @alexander_gilmanov and congrats on the launch. I use cursor daily and just noticed ivyforms shipped an mcp server. I'm not trying to build forms by voice, I want new submissions to ping my agent when a client uploads an intake pdf. Does mcp push entry events or is it admin-only form building for now?

Most form builders stop at the submission. You're explicitly building past that point, into what happens with the data next. That's a bigger scope than a form builder usually takes on. Where's the line for you between what IvyForms handles natively and what gets handed off to Zapier or a webhook? That boundary probably says more about the product's direction than the feature list does.

Congrats on the launch!

Drag-and-drop felt snappy and the conditional logic options were more flexible than I expected for a WordPress plugin. The webhook integration is a nice touch for routing submissions into other tools without extra glue code.

Why would I use this over a tool like Lovable or Replit or Base44? Why would I manually click through and build the form myself when I can just ask an AI agent to do it for me and launch with one click? Is it the workflows afterwards? I feel like you just ask your AI and it will build that for you, right? You just give it either the MCP or the API key and it will build these automations for you. I don't see this lasting in 2 years.

Congrats on hitting #2! The wpDataTables connection is the smart part here, forms and analysis living in one place is what most WP setups are missing. My question is about the unglamorous side: spam. Every WordPress form I’ve run eventually drowns in bot submissions. What’s built in for that beyond a captcha, and does conditional logic help filter junk before it hits my entries?

Looks promising.

Are there any plans for payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)? If so, is there a timeframe for release?

Are there plans for fron-end post submission integration?

the deep integration with wpDataTables and Amelia is clearly the selling point, but it makes me wonder about the flip side: if a site outgrows WordPress entirely down the line, how portable is the structured data and workflow logic? like can you export the conditional logic rules and calculated fields in some reusable format, or is that value basically locked into staying on WP once you've built it out

I really love how this brings actual workflow automation directly into WordPress forms instead of just collecting flat data. Congrats on the launch today! Do you support conditional routing to different third-party webhooks natively within those workflows?

Congrats on the launch! WordPress definitely has plenty of form builders, but focusing heavily on real workflows and complex backend actions rather than just basic data collection sounds like a massive timesaver. How deep do the native integrations go for handling multi-step logic right after a form submission?

the "submissions into workflows" framing is what separates this from a basic form builder. most wordpress form plugins stop at collecting data and then you're manually moving entries into whatever system actually needs them. curious how deep the workflow side goes, can it trigger external actions like sending to a CRM or slack on submission, or is the workflow management mostly within the plugin itself?

Really like how IvyForms bridges the gap between collecting and actually using data. The integrations with wpDataTables and Amelia make it feel more like a workflow tool than just another form builder. The free version not being stripped down is a nice touch too, excited to see how people use it for real-world processes like bookings and feedback.

i see this fitting schools agencies and small bussinesses equally well. what is your plan for handling very complex approval processes as customer needs continue to grow.

Have you planned deeper reporting features so teams can measure results without using another tool.

Love the product! It's beautiful, simple to use, customizable, and pretty cool templates.
Always bothered me that most forms just dumps the answers on you, like come on, how I'm gonna sort through these 5000 submissions with different text inputs, and what to do next with them.
You guys did it in a beautiful way, bravo!

How does the conditional logic actually behave across multi-step flows, does each step have its own rules or is it all evaluated globally when someone hits submit?

@benln Thanks, Ben! That's exactly what we're aiming for. Making forms the starting point of real workflows, not just data collection. Appreciate you highlighting it!

The WordPress form builder space is genuinely crowded, Gravity Forms alone has been entrenched for over a decade with a massive add-on ecosystem. What's the honest case for switching to IvyForms for someone already on Gravity Forms, is it pricing, a specific workflow capability GF doesn't handle well, or something in the UX that's meaningfully different rather than just newer?

I've used quite a few WordPress from plugins and keeping everything organized afterward has always been the bigger challenge. This feels like it's spolving that part instead of shopping at from creation.
