Biggest opportunity: Swap “email automation”, “email marketing tool” and “integration” for “spf”, “success” and “autoresponder”. “email automation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spf” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “email marketing tool” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “success” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “integration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “autoresponder” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 98.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,296 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Habe CF7 und bisher das Plugin von Pixelarbeit, welches jedoch nicht mehr gepflegt wird. Der Umstieg auf das Plugin von Cleverreach hat entäuscht. Dieses Plugin hat mir viele neue Felder in meine Liste eingetragen. Meine alten Felder kann ich nicht mit den CF-7-Fomularfeldern verknüpfen. Man kann die Listenfelder aus WP heraus nicht abrufen. Bin noch zahlender Cleverreach Kunde, aber so langsam ist eine Grenze erreicht. Vielleicht ist ja das Formular-Plugin von Cleverreach eine Alternative zum CF-7 mit recaptcha integration.

Wir hatten früher Clevereach im Einsatz, waren dann aber von so manchen Unzulänglichkeiten genervt. Insgesamt und besonders auch in Sachen DSGVO war uns das Tool aber immer “sympathisch”. Daher haben wir die Entwicklungen verfolgt, und sind jetzt wieder gewechselt. Und siehe da, es funktioniert alles, die Entwicklungen kommen regelmäßig und besonders der Support auch mit der Community-Funktion im Austausch mit anderen Anwendern ist jetzt endlich hilfreich. Daher: We like. Besonders da wir diverse WP-Installationen im Einsatz haben.

Form-Updates in CleverReach will not be reflected in Plugin, so this is useless for us. Support is not answering in forum …

My test-implementation worked fine – pretty straight forward! After installing the plugin you have to register for a new CleverReach-account OR log-in to an existing one. In case you get an error after trying to log-in check your cookie settings in your browser. Third-party cookies have to be accepted otherwise you can’t connect.
