WPForms Lite ships without the entry management feature that the Pro tier offers. Submissions arrive by email and a thin log row lands in WordPress storage (the option API, a custom table when an add-on is active, or the WP debug log when the team has configured it). The trail is enough to know a form was submitted and who it was from, but it sits unvisible because there is no entries screen.

SleekView Kanban reads whatever local trail exists and turns it into a board. When a small logger plugin or a custom snippet writes a row per submission with form_id, submitter, submitted_at, and status columns, SleekView groups by status and renders New, Read, Replied, and Archived columns. Card fronts pull form name from a join to wp_posts for the form post, the submitter email parsed from the log, and the submission date.

Dragging a card writes the new status back to the log row and fires a WordPress action so a Slack ping or a Mailchimp tag update can listen. Lite stays free, the email pipeline keeps owning notifications, and the team finally gets a queue view without paying for the Pro entry management tier.

WPForms Lite is the entry point for a huge number of WordPress sites: drop a contact form on a page, get the submissions by email, move on. The catch is that email is a terrible queue. Submissions get buried, replies get forgotten, and there is no shared state across team members.

The Pro tier exists partly to solve that with entry management, but plenty of teams cannot justify the upgrade for what is essentially a list view. SleekView Kanban gives Lite users a board without touching the form plugin's licensing. A tiny snippet hooks the standard wpforms_process_complete action and writes a log row.

SleekView reads that log and groups it by status. The result is a queue that lives next to the rest of the WordPress admin, supports drag-and-drop to change state, and fires hooks downstream tools can listen for. The plugin stays free, email keeps doing its job, and the team finally has a board.
