Untested: Not yet tested on a live site. The steps follow how the form address works today; if one differs, tell us.

Paste a FormParcel form into a Custom HTML block or Elementor's HTML widget. Contact Form 7, WPForms and webhooks post from a server and are held in Spam.

Paste the form into a Custom HTML block

In the block editor, add a Custom HTML block where the form goes and paste this. The dashboard has the same code with your address filled in.

Example form address. Use yours from the dashboard.

Custom HTML block

<form action="https://f.formparcel.live/f/f_k7QmXp2aVb9sTn4cLw8RhE" method="POST" onsubmit="if(!window.FormParcel){event.preventDefault();var f=this;f.setAttribute('data-fp-wait','1');setTimeout(function(){if(f.getAttribute('data-fp-wait')){f.removeAttribute('data-fp-wait');HTMLFormElement.prototype.submit.call(f)}},10000)}">
  <!-- Spam trap: people never see it, bots fill it in. Keep it hidden. -->
  <div aria-hidden="true" style="position:absolute;left:-10000px;">
    <input type="text" name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">
  </div>

  <!-- Optional: send visitors to your own thank-you page. -->
  <input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://your-site.example/thanks">

  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>

  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<!-- FormParcel bot check: no cookies, no widget. Without it, submissions wait in your Spam folder. -->
<script src="https://f.formparcel.live/f/formparcel.js" async></script>

Set _next to the full address of a thank-you page on the same site, or delete that line to show FormParcel’s short confirmation.
Keep the hidden _gotcha field and the script line after the form.
In Elementor, paste the same code into an HTML widget.

Bot check. A lead sent without FormParcel's bot check is saved but held in your Spam folder, not delivered. That is every post from a server, a webhook or curl, and every post from a page that does not load the script. The dashboard then shows Bot check not installed under Needs action. Fix: keep the script line on every page that has the form. Learn more

Form plugins

A plugin form sends its data to WordPress first. Some plugins can then forward it to a webhook, but that post comes from your server, so it carries no bot-check proof and FormParcel holds it in Spam.

Plugin	Posts to an outside address from the browser	Use instead
Contact Form 7	No. A webhook plugin can forward it, from the server.	A Custom HTML block
WPForms	No. The Webhooks addon forwards it, from the server.	A Custom HTML block
Elementor Pro Form	No. Its Webhook action posts from the server.	Elementor’s HTML widget

Server key for webhooks and server posts Coming soon: A per-form key for a site builder's webhook or your own server, so a lead posted from a server is delivered instead of held in Spam. Until it ships, use the Custom HTML block.

Who can save form markup

WordPress may strip form, input and script tags when someone without the right capability saves the page. If the form or the script line disappears, save it with an administrator account.

Check it

Submit the form once from the live page and open its receipt under Leads. If nothing arrives, see Troubleshooting.
