Everything you need to install, license, and run Contact Trail Pro.
Requirements
WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+
An active Contact Form 7 installation
An active Contact Trail Pro subscription (license key)
1. Get the plugin & your key
After subscribing you'll receive an email with your license key and a download link. You can also download from the thank-you page shown right after checkout.
2. Install & activate
In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the downloaded zip, then Install Now and Activate.
Go to Settings → Contact Trail Pro, paste your license key, and Save. This unlocks features and enables automatic updates.
3. Configure
Cookie window for first-/last-touch attribution.
Privacy: IP anonymization, consent-manager integration, and data-retention cleanup.
Enrichment (optional): connect Google Search Console for organic keywords and ipinfo.io for geolocation.
4. How attribution works
Contact Trail records UTM parameters, click IDs, referrer, and landing page on a visitor's first pageview, locks first touch, updates last touch, and survives Safari ITP via a server-side cookie. An 11-rule prioritized engine classifies each visit into one of nine channels (Paid Search, Paid Social, Organic Search, Organic Social, Email, Display, Affiliates, Referral, Direct).
5. View & export data
Open the Attribution dashboard in wp-admin to filter, sort, and bulk-manage submissions, and export a filtered CSV (including the message column), streamed for large datasets.
6. Updates
With a valid license key saved, new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates — just click "Update now".
