Sobi Forms 1.4.0 — Manage Your Leads Like a Real Inbox

alesas

The previous v1.3.0 was all about making form building smooth and comfortable. Version 1.4.0 changes focus entirely. It tackles what happens after someone hits submit: reading messages, keeping track of leads, and replying professionally—without ever leaving WordPress.

The TL;DR: Your form submissions just became a proper workflow. You get instant unread badges right on your WordPress dashboard, a lightning-fast Gmail-style inbox, and automated receipts for your visitors.

Here are the 3 major upgrades making your daily operations easier:

1. Never miss a lead again

  • Before: You had to manually jump to Sobi Forms → Submissions just to check if anyone wrote to you.
  • Now: A clean dashboard widget greets you right when you log into WordPress, highlighting your unread submissions. One click takes you straight to the details. For service sites where every single lead matters (contractors, coaches, local businesses), this is a daily lifesaver.

2. An inbox built for the modern web

The Submissions screen has been completely reimagined from a boring WordPress list into a dedicated workspace:

  • Split-view layout: List on the left, full content on the right—exactly like Gmail or Help Scout.
  • Instant filters: Toggle between All / Unread / Starred submissions in a click.
  • Power features: Bulk actions (mark read, spam, delete), global search, form-specific filtering, and resizable columns.

Less clicking, less losing your train of thought, and zero friction whether you are processing 5 or 50 messages a day.

3. Look professional from second one

Two subtle details that build trust with your potential clients:

  • Automated Email Receipts: Automatically send a clean confirmation email to visitors right after they submit a form (optional, per form).
  • Custom Sender Identity: No more generic “WordPress” as the sender name. Your emails now officially come from your site’s brand name.

In short: v1.3.0 was a better workshop. v1.4.0 is a better front desk.

If v1.3.0 helped you publish beautiful forms, v1.4.0 ensures you never forget them—keeping your leads organized, your dashboard smart, and your visitors reassured with instant confirmation.
