Plugins Overview

Plugins let a Vivd project do more than render pages. In the current product surface, the main plugin workflows are Contact Form and Analytics.

On self-hosted installs, plugin availability can also be controlled instance-wide before you do any project-level setup. Use Instance Settings and the adjacent Plugins admin surface when a plugin appears unavailable across the whole install rather than just one project.

When to do plugin setup

Configure plugins before the final publish pass, not after launch day. That keeps form delivery, analytics expectations, and handoff steps inside the same review cycle.

Choose the plugin guide

Contact Form Turn site inquiries into managed submissions with the right recipients, defaults, and launch checks.

Analytics Track traffic and interpret project activity without leaving the Vivd product surface.

Recommended launch workflow

1. Finish the main site structure in Studio.
2. Configure the plugins that matter for launch.
3. Test the form flow and analytics expectations.
4. Run through the publish checklist.

Re-check plugins when

• The customer-side reviewer changes and recipients or owners need updating.
• The project domain changes and you want a fresh launch review.
• The site gains new lead flows or the traffic expectations change after launch.
