Configuring Forms: Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms & Elementor
Ensure 100% reliable form submissions on Nimbica edge-accelerated pages with AJAX forwarding and spam prevention.
📋This is an interactive step-by-step HowTo guide with 3 verified installation steps.
How Form Submissions Work on Edge-Accelerated Sites
Because Nimbica serves page HTML from the edge (not your origin server), form POST requests are intercepted by Nimbica's edge workers and securely forwarded to your WordPress backend API — ensuring standard email notifications and database entry logging work exactly as expected.
Supported Form Plugins
- Gravity Forms: Full AJAX submission, multi-page forms, conditional logic, and file uploads.
- Contact Form 7: Native REST API submission handling and validation feedback.
- WPForms: Instant AJAX submissions and confirmation redirects.
- Elementor Forms: Native widget submissions and webhook triggers.
- Fluent Forms & Ninja Forms: Standard form action capture.
📋 Verified Execution Steps (3 Total Steps)
11. Enable Serverless Form Handler
In Nimbica Dashboard ➔ Integrations ➔ Forms, ensure "Serverless Form Proxy" is toggled ON.
22. Enable AJAX in Your Form Plugin
In your WordPress form plugin settings, ensure AJAX submission mode is enabled (e.g. Gravity Forms shortcode ajax="true").
33. Submit a Test Lead
Submit a test form entry from your live edge site and verify receipt in WordPress Admin entries and your notification inbox.
