The Elementor Pro Form widget builds contact, quote and booking forms inside your design. Add the widget, create fields (text, email, tel, select, date, file upload), set required fields, choose Actions After Submit (Email, Collect Submissions, Redirect, Webhook, Mailchimp and others), customise the email, and test. Turn on Collect Submissions so every lead is saved in Elementor, Submissions, even if email fails.
- Actions After Submit decide what happens with data.
- Always enable Collect Submissions.
- Set Reply-To to the visitor’s email field.
- Use honeypot and reCAPTCHA or similar for spam.
- Redirect to a thank-you page to track conversions.

Why might emails not arrive?
Picture a beautifully designed form whose emails silently vanish, because WordPress sends via the server’s mail function. Collect Submissions saves the leads; SMTP fixes delivery. See contact form not working and add a contact form in WordPress.
