Overview #
PUM version 1.9 adds a simplified API (application programming interface) that allows WordPress form builder plugins to integrate with Popup Maker.
A shortcode from a supported form builder plugin can be added to the popup editor and rendered inside a popup. A Form Submission trigger can open a thank you popup after successfully submitted a form. A Form Submission cookie manages when to redisplay the popup after successful form submission.
The Form Submission cookie can be used whenever a supported form plugin is added to a popup.
