FormVue — Lead Capture
FormVue lets you add lead capture widgets to any page on your WordPress site. There are four independent widgets — pick the one you need and configure only its options:
- Inline button — a button that transforms into a phone number input.
- Modal — a trigger button that opens the form in a popup.
- Contact — an embedded contact form rendered directly on the page.
- Content — a coupon-gated content flow.
After a visitor submits, they receive an SMS with a personalized link to your FormVue video form.
You need a free FormVue account at formvue.com to obtain a Form ID.
Features:
- Four independent widgets — inline button, modal, contact form, content (coupon) — each with only its relevant options
- Works with Gutenberg, Elementor, and any builder that accepts shortcodes (Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, etc.)
- Shortcodes:
[fvlc_inline],[fvlc_modal],[fvlc_contact],[fvlc_content] - Four native Gutenberg blocks, each with a live visual preview
- Four Elementor widgets with drag & drop
- Global default settings in WP Admin
- Customizable colors, sizes, variants, and borders
- Campaign / UTM attribution and query-param passthrough
- Mobile-friendly (renders as a link on mobile devices)
- The widget runtime is bundled inside the plugin — no external script loader
External services
This plugin connects to the FormVue service (operated by FormVue) to capture and process leads. This connection is required for the plugin’s core functionality — without it, submitted forms cannot be delivered.
What is sent, and when:
- When a widget is shown, an impression event and, on interaction, a click event are sent to
https://formvue.com(proxied to FormVue’s API). Each event includes the configured Form ID, optional campaign/UTM attribution, the page URL, page title, referrer, and screen width. - When a visitor submits the form (e.g. a phone number or contact fields), those values are sent to
https://formvue.comto create a lead and trigger the SMS/email with the personalized form link. - The widget logo image is loaded from
https://api.formvue.com.
No data is sent until a widget actually renders on a page. The plugin itself loads no JavaScript from any third-party server — the widget runtime ships inside the plugin.

Source code
This plugin ships some minified JavaScript. The complete, un-minified source for every compiled file is included inside this plugin, and can be rebuilt with standard tools.
Gutenberg blocks — build/blocks/{inline,modal,contact,content}/index.js
- Source: the
blocks/folder (React/JSX, built with @wordpress/scripts). - Rebuild, from the plugin folder:
npm installthennpm run build:blocks.
Widget runtime (SDK) — build/sdk/formvue-{inline,modal,contact,content}.js
- Source: the
sdk-src/folder (TypeScript + Preact + Tailwind CSS, built with Vite). - Rebuild:
cd sdk-srcthennpm installthen FORMVUE_API_URL=https://api.formvue.com FORMVUE_SHARE_URL=https://formvue.com npm run build:cdn (without those variables the build targets localhost, which is the development default). - The API type definitions in
sdk-src/src/shared/api/v1.d.tsare generated from FormVue’s public OpenAPI schema with theopenapi-typescripttool; they are type-only declarations and contain no runtime code.
