Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact” for “mails”. “contact” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mails” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 6.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| mails | #20 | #24 | up 1 |
| contact your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| contact form your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| feedback your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| form your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

MailPoet presents a conflict, where if you have it activated it will send a CF7 form response to only one address, regardless of what you have in the cc: or to: fields. While CF7’s built-in functionality only lets you set up two mail messages, by using this I’m able to get responses out to all of the six people who need to see them by creating a separate email message for each.

I was looking for a plugin that integrated with the famous cf7. My need was to send more emails without using Cc tags or Bcc, an inconvenient method because whoever received the email could also reply to those who shouldn’t have. So great plugin because very light, with little php code and very simple to use. The assistance is also excellent. I highly recommend This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by clausfak.

Plugin is working fine with WordPress 5.6. Thanks.

I was trying to work out how to do this for ages and then came across your plugin (I wanted to send a login and a password as two separate emails). Set up a 3rd email and it worked a treat out the box. Email three arrived seconds before email two. I’d give a kidney or first born son if you could also work out how to delay transmission of email 3, say by 20 minutes. That would be something of a phenomenon.

Shows additional email forms in the interface but doesn’t actually send the additional emails when used (still sends the first two).
