SleekView for Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
CF7 Conditional Fields layers show/hide groups onto Contact Form 7, with submissions persisted through Flamingo as flamingo_inbound posts. SleekView reads that feed and surfaces the controlling field, branch path, and hidden-field count as real columns inside WP Admin.

Stop scrolling Flamingo to read which branch a respondent took
Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields adds show/hide logic to standard CF7 forms. The form definition stays in the wpcf7_contact_form custom post type, and submissions persist through Flamingo as flamingo_inbound posts. Each visible field is written to postmeta on the inbound post, while hidden-branch fields are skipped. The default Flamingo inbound screen shows submissions with a fixed column set (sender, subject, date) and no view of which conditional branch each respondent followed.
SleekView reads flamingo_inbound directly and parses the conditional payload from postmeta. The controlling field (the branch trigger) becomes a sortable, filterable column. Each branch-specific field becomes its own column, available alongside sender, subject, and date. Form admins finally see one row per submission with the branch path inline, instead of opening each Flamingo entry to find the branch in the message body.
Inline edits route through the standard flamingo_inbound CRUD, so status flips (spam, not spam, trash) fire the same hooks the Flamingo screen does. Saved filtered views per role mean sales sees the sales-branch queue, support sees the support-branch queue, and form admins see every branch at once.

Comparison
Default CF7 Conditional Fields admin vs SleekView
Default CF7 plus Flamingo admin
- Flamingo inbound screen ships a fixed column set without the conditional payload surfaced
- Branch-trigger value lives inside the message body, not as a sortable column
- Hidden-field counts require scripting against flamingo_inbound postmeta
- Filtering across many forms by branch requires manual SQL or CSV export
- No saved per-role views for sales, support, partnership, or careers branches
SleekView
- Read flamingo_inbound directly with the conditional payload parsed into columns
- Controlling field exposed as a sortable, filterable branch column
- Hidden-field count exposed as a column for long-path vs short-path triage
- Saved filtered views per branch gated by WordPress capability
- Inline status flips route through Flamingo CRUD so third-party hooks keep firing
Features
What SleekView gives you for Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
Branch trigger as a real column
SleekView surfaces the controlling CF7 field as a sortable, filterable column. The branch each respondent selected reads as inline data, not buried inside the Flamingo message body.
Conditional payload parsed at query time
Flamingo stores each visible field as postmeta on the submission. SleekView parses those keys so every conditional question becomes an addable column, ready to filter and group.
One source, role-scoped views
Sales gets the sales-branch queue, support gets the support-branch queue, form admins get every branch on one screen. All three views read the same flamingo_inbound rows with different filters.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
Form admins
Open one workspace with every branch inline and confirm the conditional logic is routing traffic the way it was designed. Sort by branch, filter by date, and reply without per-message clicks.
Sales and support teams
Each team gets a saved view filtered to its branch, with new submissions surfacing at the top. Status flips happen inline so the queue stays current without leaving SleekView.
Marketing
Filter submissions to a campaign-specific branch and confirm the campaign is driving the intended path. Export the filtered view if a per-campaign reconciliation is needed downstream.
The bigger picture
Why CF7 conditional submissions need a real table
Conditional logic exists so one form can serve many audiences without splitting into four pages. The capture side works cleanly: respondents only see the questions that apply to them. The triage side falls apart because the default CF7 plus Flamingo admin shows each submission as a flat inbound post with the branch value hidden inside the message body.
Form admins guess at branch distribution by scanning. Sales and support compete for the same inbox without a queue that filters to their branch. SleekView reads flamingo_inbound directly, parses the conditional payload from postmeta, and treats the controlling field as a first-class column.
A sortable branch column answers "which path did people take". A filtered view per branch answers "what is in my queue right now". The data is already captured by CF7 Conditional Fields the moment a respondent submits; SleekView just makes it legible as a table the people running the form actually need.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Contact Form 7 Conditional Fields
No. Contact Form 7 sends submissions as email and does not persist them. Conditional Fields runs on top of CF7 and inherits that behaviour. SleekView needs a storage layer to read from, and Flamingo (free, same author as CF7) is the standard pairing. Once Flamingo is active, flamingo_inbound lights up the column picker automatically.
Conditional Fields lets respondents fill only the questions on their selected branch. Flamingo stores the visible field values as postmeta on the inbound post. SleekView reads those keys and treats the controlling field as the branch trigger, with the presence of branch-specific fields confirming the completion path.
Yes. Conditional Fields tracks which fields were hidden at submit time. SleekView surfaces the hidden-field count per submission as a sortable column, useful when triaging long-path versus short-path submissions side by side.
Yes. Multi-step forms typically use show/hide groups gated by a controlling field. The data still lands in flamingo_inbound with the same structure, and SleekView reads it the same way as single-step conditional forms.
Yes. Inline status changes (spam, not spam, trash) route through Flamingo's CRUD, so the same actions the Flamingo inbound screen fires also fire here. Third-party plugins that hook into the inbound post lifecycle keep working without changes.
Yes. flamingo_inbound is a standard custom post type, so the wp_posts and wp_postmeta indexes apply to date filters and status groupings. Pagination keeps each page lightweight, and saved filtered views narrow the result set before render.
No. SleekView is a read layer over flamingo_inbound with optional inline editing through Flamingo CRUD. CF7 still processes submissions, conditional logic still hides and shows fields, Flamingo still writes the inbound post. SleekView only queries and edits the resulting data.
Yes. SleekView tables embed on a frontend page with role-based access. Useful when an external partner needs to read the partnership-branch queue without a WordPress admin account.
