Contact & Booking Plugin

Overview

The Contact plugin provides form submission handling, email notification forwarding, and an admin interface for managing inquiries. It supports both simple contact forms and booking-style forms with date/time/service metadata.

Key Features

• Form Submission API — receives form data as JSON, stores in database, triggers email notification.
• Booking Metadata — parses date, time, service type, and party size from form fields.
• Email Forwarding — sends submitted form data to the site owner's email via ACS.
• Admin Inbox — view, reply, archive, and delete submissions.
• Spam Protection — honeypot field + rate limiting.
