What it does
Many sites want to know who is taking their files before handing them over. A marketer may want contact details in exchange for a guide, and a business may need visitors to confirm something before getting a document. This extension connects Download Monitor with Contact Form 7 so that a form submission becomes the gate. You keep building forms in Contact Form 7 as usual, then attach them to the files you want to protect.
Once a visitor submits the form, access opens based on your configuration. You decide whether the submission grants a single file, every file tied to that form, or all gated files across the site. The form can also appear as a modal pop-up, so visitors stay on the page they were reading. Settings live inside the Download Monitor interface, and you can run several forms and files on the same site for different campaigns or content types.
Best for
- Marketers collecting leads in exchange for files
- Businesses sharing documents that need details first
- Content creators offering guides and resources
Features
Contact Form 7 download gating
Require visitors to complete a Contact Form 7 form before they can get a file managed by Download Monitor.
Modal pop-up forms
Show the gating form as a modal pop-up on the current page instead of sending visitors somewhere else to fill it in.
Single file access
Set a form submission to grant access to just the one file the visitor asked for, keeping other gated files closed.
Access to all form files
Let one submission open every file connected to that particular form, which suits bundles or related resources.
Site-wide gated access
Configure a submission to grant access to all gated files globally, so visitors only fill in a form once.

Collect the information your form asks for, such as names or emails, before a visitor receives the file.
Multiple forms and files
Use different forms for different files or campaigns on the same website, each with its own gating setup.

Questions about Download Monitor - Contact Form 7
Do I need Download Monitor and Contact Form 7 for this to work?
Yes. This is an extension for the Download Monitor plugin, and the gating relies on forms you build with Contact Form 7. Download Monitor handles the files, while Contact Form 7 provides the form visitors must submit before getting access.
