Can I use this for newsletter subrscription

No, it doesn’t integrate with any newsletter or subscription plugins. You would have to do something extra to make the captured email addresses get added to your newsletter subscription list somehow.

There are other plugins that are built to get an email address from the user and subscribe them to a list (like a mailchimp or aweber list or whatever). If you look long enough you might find one that does both a download file and a subscription to a list, but I don’t recall which (if any) do that.

Ok that’s fine. Where are the emails stored though? The ones submitted by users?

When the user hits submit on the form that you made a notification email will be sent to the wordpress admin (or whatever email address you put in the To: field of the Mail tab in the CF7 form you made). That email will contain what the user put in the form. Additionally, EBD will store the value of the your-email field (which is required) and the value of the your-name field in a table in the database. Those get put in their own columns in the table. Also, there is a column called “posted_data” which will get an XML blob of all the submitted form fields (this includes any fields you may have added to the form, like phone or company or whatever).

In the EBD settings page, near the top of it, there is an option to export a CSV file of the email addresses and other stuff that has been submitted. You can use that to get stuff out of the database and into a CSV text file if you want (it also includes that posted_data field so you could theoretically run some program to parse the xml and get values for other fields you may have added to the CSV file. The php program “export.php” is the program that does the export. It is a fairly simple program to understand. You can look in it to see how it queries the database for the data to put into the csv file.

Thank you so much for the help.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks!
