Introduction

Contacts & Feedback, Contact forms, Forms, Email, Content Submission

NXForms is a Joomla 5+ form builder that pairs a fast drag-and-drop admin with secure submission handling and a practical set of integrations. Start from a ready-made template or a blank canvas, arrange fields by dragging, configure each one in a clean side panel, and publish a production-ready form in minutes. The builder works on desktop and mobile and includes a live preview you can pin beside the canvas.


Build and customize

  • Drag-and-drop builder with a Vue 3 admin and a lightweight frontend renderer
  • A wide range of field types: text, email, telephone, password, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, file upload, date and time, number, range, URL, color, and linked country and state dropdowns
  • Built-in validation rules with custom messages
  • Per-form brand color and a light, dark, or auto color scheme, with no custom CSS
  • Accessibility baseline: focus visibility, contrast, and error-to-field association

Notifications and integrations

  • Email delivery through SMTP and major API providers (SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo, Amazon SES, SMTP2GO, and more)
  • Send submissions to Mailchimp and Brevo contact lists
  • Connect to Make, Zapier, and Slack through outgoing webhooks
  • Create Joomla articles and register users with email verification
  • Slow integrations are queued and retried automatically, so they never delay the visitor's response. A bundled Integrations Retry scheduled-task plugin drains the retry queue on a schedule.

Security and anti-spam

  • Honeypot, time-trap, CAPTCHA, and rate limiting
  • CSRF protection, encrypted secrets, IP anonymization, and input sanitization
  • File-upload validation with type and size checks

Place your forms anywhere

  • Insert into an article with a shortcode
  • Show in any module position with the bundled site module
  • Publish as a menu item with SEF-friendly URLs

What is in the package

  • Main component for the form builder and submission handling
  • Content plugin for the article shortcode
  • Web services plugin for the form API
  • System plugin that encrypts your email-provider credentials at rest when you save them in component Options (auto-enabled on install)
  • Integrations Retry task plugin for scheduled retry of failed integration deliveries - Site module for embedding forms in module positions
  • Submissions cleanup task plugin which deletes old stored submissions for forms that have automatic deletion enabled.

Pro edition (optional)

A Pro upgrade adds Stripe and PayPal payments with live totals, conditional logic, multi-step layouts, additional field types, calculations, and CRM and SMS integrations such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and Twilio. The free edition is powerful and fully functional on its own.

What's new in 1.3.1 - September 28, 2026

  • Forms show the normal captcha error instead of a server error when the captcha provider is unreachable.
  • Form login refuses accounts with multi-factor authentication if their MFA settings can't be checked.
  • Spam-protection tokens can no longer be signed with a default key.

What's new in 1.3.0 - September 13, 2026

  • Improved form-page cache safety and submission reliability. Sensitive form and resume responses are protected from shared caching across supported Free configurations.

What's new in 1.2.9 - August 28, 2026

  • NXPInsiders Discord access. Site administrators can join the private Discord, get early builds, influence and support continued development of the Free edition.
  • Framework stability improvements.

What's new in 1.2.8 - August 25, 2026

  • Better warnings when duplicating or importing forms. Duplicating a form now applies the same safeguards as import, and both show readable messages about any settings that were adjusted.

What's new in 1.2.7 - August 20, 2026

  • Fixed a form-builder regression affecting Select fields. Numeric option values and imported Select configurations now save and validate reliably.

What's new in 1.2.6 - August 18, 2026

  • Fixed failed sign-ins being treated as successful. A login form that rejected the credentials could report success and continue as though the visitor had signed in; it now shows the correct error.
  • Safer error messages on public forms. Unexpected server errors on the login form now show a general message instead of internal technical detail.
  • Correct results and no caching for public form responses. Form submissions and login replies now return the right outcome status and are no longer stored by browsers or shared caches.
  • Session recovery in the form builder. The builder keeps your administrator session alive while you work, tells you clearly if it expires, and lets you sign back in and carry on without losing unsaved changes.
  • Under-the-hood maintenance. Internal modernization for future Joomla compatibility, with no changes to features or workflows.
