Description
The Mailsoftly Form Embed Plugin allows you to embed forms from your Mailsoftly account directly into your WordPress site by using a shortcode. Users will need to authenticate with their Mailsoftly API key in order to fetch and display their forms. After successfully adding the API key, all forms will be listed in the plugin dashboard, and each form will have an associated shortcode that you can use to embed it on your site.
External Services
This plugin relies on the Mailsoftly external service to fetch and display forms. When you use this plugin, the following data is sent to Mailsoftly’s servers:
- API key for authentication
- Form metadata and form IDs
These requests are necessary to fetch and display the forms available in your Mailsoftly account. All data transmission occurs over a secure connection (HTTPS).
