Document-First, Notion-Like Builder

Build forms like a document—not a maze of tabs and side panels.

  • Drag & drop reorder; 10+ field types including file upload and date
  • Title and Paragraph blocks with inline links in copy
  • After-submit actions: inbox, emails, webhooks—mix and match

Inbox-Like Mini-CRM

Sobi Forms is more than email forwarding—it is a real submission workspace.

  • All, Unread, Starred, Spam, and Trashed views with bulk actions
  • CSV and JSON exports per form; file attachments in detail view
  • Internal notes, source page, and a dashboard widget for new leads

Effortless Embedding

Drop a form anywhere on your site in seconds.

  • Native Gutenberg block with a built-in form picker
  • Clean shortcode for Elementor, Divi, and any builder
  • Rendering that adapts to your theme automatically

Hardcore Spam Prevention

Block fake leads without punishing real visitors with CAPTCHAs.

  • Akismet integration with silent inbox quarantine
  • Silent honeypot, nonces, and rate limiting (10/hour per IP by default)
  • Optional Cloudflare Turnstile in invisible mode

Smart Privacy, GDPR by Design

Full control over what you store—and for how long.

  • Inbox, email, webhooks—or any combination per form
  • Configurable auto-purge; visitor IPs stored as hashes only
  • No telemetry to the plugin author

Fast and Weightless by Design

A modern form builder should not tank your PageSpeed score.

  • ~5 KB gzipped (JS+CSS) when a form is on the page
  • Assets load only on pages that actually render a form
  • Zero performance impact everywhere else on your site
