Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for the CareHQ WordPress Form Connector. This plugin connects your WordPress forms directly to CareHQ CRM, automatically sending enquiries from your website into the right care home location — no manual data entry needed.

Requirements

  • At least one supported form plugin installed

Supported Form Plugins

The connector works with the following WordPress form plugins simultaneously:

  • Forminator
  • Fluent Forms

Key Features

  • Multi-form support — connect forms from any supported plugin to CareHQ
  • Care home management — link CareHQ locations to your site with seat-based licensing
  • Field mapping — map form fields (first name, last name, email, phone, message) to CareHQ contact fields
  • Conditional routing — route submissions to different care homes based on a form field value (e.g. a "Preferred Home" dropdown)
  • Submission logs — track every submission with success/error status and view submitted data
  • UTM tracking — capture marketing attribution parameters from URLs
  • Sales channel tagging — tag enquiries with a sales channel (e.g. "Care Enquiries", "Website Leads")
  • Visual workflow Beta — see a node-based graph of the full submission pipeline
