It helps you track the user who fills out a form. All you need to do is add the _[tracking-info]_ shortcode in the Message body of the contact form 7. > Since version 1.5.0 you can also use the shortcode _[tracking-info-noip]_ in the > Message body of contact form 7 which will not include the IP of the user in case > you have concerns regarding the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679(« > GDPR »). This plugin is an enhanced version of the plugin [Contact Form 7 Leads Tracking](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-leads-tracking/), that includes translations and the lookup of the country of the IP from which the form is sent. We decided to create this enhanced version of the plugin, because we needed a translation to Spanish and wanted to know the country from which the uses send the contact form, whithout having to lookup the IP adress. The lead tracking info includes: Form Page URL, Original Referrer, Landing Page, User IP, Country of the User IP and Browser. In order to display the Country it needs the [Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/) that can be found in the WordPress plugin repository. This plugin « provides geographic information detected by an IP adress ». _This plugin auto-updates the GeoIP database once a week. This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from [www.maxmind.com](http://www.maxmind.com)._ If the [Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/) is not installed and enabled, you will only see the IP address, without the country of the IP adress. We decided to use the Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin to handle the lookup of the country, because it’s a plugin that is actively developed and we saw no advantage in implementing all this functionality, when we could use an existing one. The lead tracking info in this plugin includes: 1. **Form Page URL** The URL on which the user filled out the form. 2. **Original Referrer** The URL from which the user came to your site. 3. **Landing Page** The first page the user visited on your site. 4. **User IP** (is not included when using the shorcode [tracking-info-noip]) The IP address of the user who filled out the form. 5. **Country of the IP** The country of the IP address of the user who filled out the form. If the country is 0, please check the FAQ information. 6. **User Agent / Browser** The browser information of the user who filled the form. > **Please make sure that WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php is set to FALSE when using this > plugin in production.** If it’s true the message is sent but the AJAX code to > show the OK message and clear the form is not executed. This has to do with the > Contact Form 7 filter: _wpcf7\_mail\_components_ we use for adding the tracking > information and we can’t change this behaviour. Please be aware of this. #### Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 in your Language! This first release is avaliable in English and Spanish.

Plugin doesn’t need any configuration but you have to paste one of the shortcodes in the MESSAGE BODY of the form where you want to include the tracking info. ## FAQ ### What is Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 good for? This plugin adds the Form Page URL, Original Referrer, Landing Page, User IP, Country of the User IP and Browser to Contact Form 7 when inserting the [tracking-info] shortcode in the Message body. If the shortcode [tracking-info-noip] is used the plugin does not add the User IP but adds the other information: Form Page URL, Original Referrer, Landing Page, Country of the User IP and Browser. ### What about the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (« GDPR »)? If you are concerned about the the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/ 679 (« GDPR ») you can use the [tracking-info-noip] shortcode which does not include the User IP in the email sent. ### Do I need to install another plugin to make this one work? Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 is an **addon module for the Contact Form 7 plugin**. You need to have [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) installed and active. In order to display the Country it needs the [Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/) that can be found in the WordPress plugin repository. This plugin « provides geographic information detected by an IP adress ». _This plugin auto-updates the GeoIP database once a week. This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from [www.maxmind.com](http://www.maxmind.com)._ If the [Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/) is not installed and enabled, you will only see the IP address, without the country of the IP adress. IMPORTANT: When you install the Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin for the first time, it’s important that you go to Tools > Geolocation Lookup and click on « Upgrade now ». When activated the plugin does not download the GeoIP database automatically. You have to download it the first time by clicking on « Upgrade now ». If you don’t install the database, the Country code is 0. _Please note that the size of the database « Maxmind GeoIP Lite City » is around 55MB_. But you can also decide to use the « HostIP.info Web-API » which doesn’t require the download of any database and makes the IP query online **(HostIP.info Web-API only supports English names and does only have the following fields: country name, country ID and city name)**. ### The result for the Country is 0. What can I do? When you install the Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin for the first time, it’s important that you go to Tools > Geolocation Lookup and click on « Upgrade now ». When activated the plugin does not download the GeoIP database automatically. You have to download it the first time by clicking on «  Upgrade now ». If you don’t install the database, the Country code is 0. ### How exact is the Country data? Think of it as an « educated guess »: IP adresses and their allocation change on a frequent basis. If you need [more exact data](http://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite_city_accuracy), consider purchasing the commercial version of the data. ### Does Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 make changes to the database? The plugin doesn’t make any changes to the database. It only adds the tracking info to the email sent by contact form 7. ### How can I check out if the plugin works for me? Install and activate. Paste shortcode in Contact Form 7 Message body. Test contact form. In the email you receive you should see the tracking info added where you placed the shortocde. ### How can I remove Lead info with country for Contact Form 7? You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section. As there is no data stored in the database you can delete it safely through FTP. Please remind to remove the shortcodes in the contact forms. If the plugin is not active the shortcode will not be replaced with the info and it will be displayed as [tracking-info] or [tracking-info-noip]. ### Are there any known incompatibilities? If you are using [Contact Form 7 Leads Tracking](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-leads-tracking/) and this plugin is active, the Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 will not work. ### Does your plugin work with mail services like MAILGUN? The plugin works correclty with Mailgun but there is something to take into account. If the emails are sent as plain text emails and you are using Mailgun open tracking, the emails are converted to HTML but the line breaks are lost. We have not found a solution for this. If the emails are sent as HTML text emails, there is no problem. ### Why does this plugin offer no support for WordPress versions before 3.5? Because the [Geolocation IP Detection (until March 2020: GeoIP Detection) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/geoip-detect/) needs at least WordPress 3.5, we decided to also ask for a version equal or higher than WordPress 3.5. ### When using this plugin and send a message in a contact form apparently nothing happens Please make sure that WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php is set to FALSE when using this plugin in production. If it’s true the message is sent but the AJAX code to show the OK message and clear the form is not executed. ### Do you make use of Lead info with country for Contact Form 7 yourself? Of course we do. 😉 ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4788b49cf5013b972d0b8c438d30cb92af419e640e7948ea850112933b97b1e1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[great job](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-job-371/)󠁿 [Marius](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mmichtus/) 3 Ctember 2016 1 reply easy everthing you need for tracking! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dbe72e475bde6e69f46b536f858a76664343a9c15533b269db332126c0713d06? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Gives usefull information about people that fill in forms](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gives-usefull-information-about-people-that-fill-in-forms/)󠁿 [elians](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elians/) 3 Ctember 2016 It gives additional information about people that fill in a Contact form, just what we were looking for. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/df80f4c07b6046f5d5a7a3917a5e220d8d5c7d07b6469023c32250b8fc9e70fc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent, does what I need](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-does-what-i-need/)󠁿 [Lab Lover](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peterscaffidi/) 3 Ctember 2016 4 replies Allows for the inclusion of contact form sender Geo IP location information.
