A CRM subscription charges you for every contact and keeps your audience on someone else’s servers. The CES CRM module keeps contacts in your WordPress database, with no limit, and fills them automatically from the popups, forms, emails and orders that already happen on your site.
Create-contact and identify-contact forms build the record, add tags and store custom-field values — on pages or inside popups.
Generate contacts from customers, orders (including guest orders) and registered users, then autoimport new ones.
Bring a list from any other tool with field mapping; export the whole base for backup or migration.
Most sites have a usable contact base within the first hour: import what exists, then let forms and orders keep it current.
Whether you keep a subscriber list or track repeat buyers with order history, it is the same contact table.
Open a contact and see the popups, forms, emails, automations, orders and replies in order, with dates and sources.
Tags added by any event start automations; segments built from tags and fields receive campaigns; exports carry everything.
