Vertical Response Integration

The Advanced Form Integration plugin connects your WordPress forms with Vertical Response, allowing you to subscribe contacts to your Vertical Response lists automatically. When someone submits a form on your website, their data is used to create or update contacts and assign them to a list.

Perfect for email marketing automation and contact list growth!
