## Description

Olmbox AI Inbox for Contact Form 7 adds an AI-powered review inbox to your Contact
Form 7 forms, without modifying Contact Form 7 itself.

**This plugin never sends AI-generated content automatically.** When a visitor submits
one of your chosen forms, the plugin:

 1. Lets Contact Form 7 send its own notification email exactly as it always has.
 2. Sends the submission to your configured AI provider for analysis.
 3. Adds a new entry to your **AI Inbox** with an AI-drafted summary, a suggested reply,
    a category, a priority, and a confidence score (with a short explanation of the
    AI’s reasoning).

From there, you review it: read the original message and the AI’s suggestion, edit
the reply if you want to change anything, and click **Send Reply** only when you’re
ready. A confirmation step stands between you and every send — the AI drafts, you
decide.

#### AI Inbox

 * Filter by status (New / Reviewed / Replied / Archived), priority, category, or
   date, and search by name, email, or message.
 * Each submission has its own review screen: customer info, the original message
   exactly as submitted, the AI summary, an editable suggested reply, and the full
   AI analysis.
 * Actions: Save Draft, Send Reply (with confirmation), Mark Reviewed, Archive, 
   Delete.
 * Low-confidence AI analysis (below 60%) is flagged so you know to look more closely
   before replying.
 * A Dashboard section and a WordPress Dashboard widget show what’s new, what needs
   review, and how many replies have gone out, with a quick link into the Inbox.

#### Bring your own API key

The plugin does not include or resell AI access. You provide your own API key for
one of the following providers:

 * OpenAI
 * Anthropic
 * Google Gemini
 * OpenRouter

Once a key is entered, the Model field becomes a dropdown populated live from that
provider’s API, so you can pick a model by name instead of typing an identifier 
from memory.

No request is ever sent to an AI provider until you have entered a valid API key.

#### Privacy

This plugin sends the text a visitor submits to your form to the AI provider you
configure, solely to generate the summary, suggested reply, and classification shown
in the AI Inbox. No data is sent to the plugin author, and no telemetry or analytics
of any kind is collected.

The plugin keeps a local log, on your own site’s database, of the most recent 200
submissions to your configured forms (visible in the AI Inbox) — including the submitted
fields, the visitor’s contact details, the AI’s analysis, and (once sent) the reply
that was actually emailed. Older entries are pruned automatically. This log is stored
only in your own database, never transmitted anywhere else, and is permanently deleted
when the plugin is uninstalled.

### External services

This plugin connects to the AI provider you choose and configure with your own API
key, to analyze new form submissions and generate a summary, suggested reply, category,
priority, and confidence score. No request is ever sent until you have entered a
valid API key for one of the providers below, and requests only happen for submissions
to the forms you’ve explicitly enabled.

What is sent: the submitted form field values (e.g. name, email, message) and, on
the AI Provider tab, your API key (to authenticate) when you click «Test Connection»
or «Load Models». No other site or visitor data is sent.

## FAQ

### Does this send anything automatically?

No. AI analysis runs in the background after each submission, but the resulting 
summary, reply, and classification only ever sit in your AI Inbox. Nothing is emailed
to the visitor until you personally click «Send Reply» and confirm.

### Does this modify Contact Form 7?

No. The plugin only uses Contact Form 7’s public hooks (such as `wpcf7_mail_sent`)
and never edits CF7 core files or its outgoing mail.

### What happens if the AI request fails?

Contact Form 7 continues to work exactly as it did before — the visitor’s submission
is still received and the normal notification email is still sent. The submission
still appears in your AI Inbox so you can reply manually; it’s just missing the 
AI’s summary/suggestion, and the Inbox tells you why.

### Where is my API key stored?

In the WordPress options table, encrypted at rest. It is never exposed in any frontend
page, script, or REST response.
