SleekView Charts for Contact Form 7
Pair CF7's wpcf7_contact_form CPT with Flamingo's flamingo_inbound storage and chart everything. Group by form, status, sender domain, or spam score; trend volume over post_date and surface the patterns the inbox hides.
♾️ Lifetime License available
From inbox forwarding to a real chart layer
Contact Form 7 registers the wpcf7_contact_form custom post type for form definitions and does not store submissions itself — by default, every submission is sent as email and discarded. With the companion plugin Flamingo installed, inbound messages persist as flamingo_inbound posts with subject, sender, status, and a spam score in postmeta. Outside that pairing, there's no submission history to chart.
SleekView Charts reads flamingo_inbound posts, joins each row to its source CF7 form, and exposes form, status, sender domain, spam score, and post_date as chart dimensions. Count submissions per form, distribute spam scores, trend volume by day, and rank the sender domains that drive the most inbound — all from the same indexed columns the Flamingo list already uses.
Charts share dataset and filters with the Table tab so a per-form volume chart drops to the underlying messages with one tab change. CSV export of any chart hands marketing or operations the underlying numbers without a separate analytics tool.

- Cross-form inbound counts aren't built in
- Spam-score distribution isn't surfaced
- Daily-trend charts and saved dashboards aren't part of the admin

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Contact Form 7
Forms and inbox in one chart layer
Join wpcf7_contact_form definitions to flamingo_inbound messages so per-form charts use readable form names. Form definitions and inbound messages stay one filter apart.
Spam-score distribution
Spam score is a meta value on each Flamingo inbound post. Group it into score buckets and chart the distribution; spot spam waves and tune anti-spam rules with real data.
Sender-domain ranking
Aggregate sender domains as a chart dimension to find the addresses driving spam, the agencies replying frequently, or the press contacts opening conversations.
Audience
Who builds CF7 charts dashboards with SleekView
Support teams
Total inbound, replied versus unread mix, and per-form ranking. The dashboard answers whether the team is keeping up without manual counting in Flamingo's list.
Agencies
Per-client form volume rolled into one cross-site chart. Audit dozens of CF7 forms and report inbound counts to clients without exporting CSVs.
Marketing leads
Track which forms produce real conversations versus mostly spam. Pair a spam-score chart with a sender-domain ranking to justify swapping a poorly-protected form.
The bigger picture
Why CF7 inboxes deserve aggregate visibility
Contact Form 7 powers more WordPress forms than any other plugin and yet, by default, leaves no audit trail. Submissions go out as email and that's it. Flamingo solves the storage problem, but its built-in list view is still a flat WordPress posts table with limited filters and no aggregates.
A real chart layer changes the cost of routine checks: how many spam-flagged messages this week, which form is generating the most inbound, which sender domain dominates this month. Pairing CF7's form definitions with Flamingo's inbound storage in one dashboard also makes patterns obvious — a form with a spam-score average climbing, a campaign landing page whose form has stopped receiving submissions entirely. None of this is exotic analysis; it's the kind of operational visibility every other inbox tool already provides, finally available against the CF7 plus Flamingo stack many sites already run.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Contact Form 7
No. CF7 doesn't persist submissions in the database, so there's no source data for charts. Flamingo (or an equivalent storage add-on) writes inbound messages to flamingo_inbound; SleekView Charts reads that table. Flamingo is free, written by the same author as CF7, and is the most common pairing on production sites.
Flamingo writes a channel meta on each inbound post identifying the source CF7 form. SleekView joins that channel to the wpcf7_contact_form post for readable form names on chart axes.
Yes. Spam score is stored as meta on each Flamingo inbound post. Group it into buckets (0 to 0.2, 0.2 to 0.5, 0.5 to 1) and chart counts per bucket, or average score per form to spot forms attracting more spam.
Flamingo stores the full sender email on each inbound post. SleekView extracts the domain at query time using a string-split function and uses the result as the chart dimension. The domain becomes a first-class group-by option for spam analysis and outreach pattern detection.
No, charts are read-only. Aggregations run as SELECT ... GROUP BY queries with no writes, so no Flamingo or CF7 hooks fire. Edits routed through the Table tab use standard WordPress update calls, so any registered hooks run normally there.
Each site has its own flamingo_inbound posts and its own CF7 form definitions, so each site's dashboard is independent. Cross-site aggregation isn't built in. For agencies running CF7 across many client sites, a network-level aggregate would need a separate reporting layer.
Each card exports its aggregated rows as CSV with the group-by labels and aggregate values. Useful for handing marketing the campaign-summary numbers behind a chart or providing clients with a monthly inbound report.
Attachment counts can be a chart dimension if exposed as a meta field; the attachment files themselves remain in the standard WordPress media library. Most charts focus on subject, status, sender, and form rather than attachment-level detail.
