This plugin is a fantastic extension to Contact Form 7! We needed a way to delay email notifications for specific forms, and this did the job perfectly. Setup was quick and intuitive, and it worked right out of the box without any conflicts. The flexibility to schedule notifications by minutes, hours, or even specific times is a game changer for follow-ups and workflow automation. Highly recommended if you want more control over your CF7 notifications. Great work by the developer!

Been using this plugin for a bit and it’s honestly great. Setup was easy, and now I can delay or schedule form emails without any hassle. Love that I can time messages based on the selected date. Works smoothly with my setup, and the scheduling dashboard is super helpful. Definitely recommend if you’re using Contact Form 7!

WordPress.org discouraged me from leaving a review. They said reviews are “not for self-promotion”, and “You were probably going to give it five stars anyway.” I tried, I resisted, but I couldn’t stop myself. It’s such a darn good plugin! What do you think? Please leave us a review and tell us if you like it!
