Plugins Overview

Plugins let a Vivd website do more than render pages. The available plugins are Forms, Newsletter / Waitlist, Analytics, and Google Maps.

On self-hosted installs, plugin availability can also be controlled instance-wide before you set anything up for one website. Use Instance Settings and the adjacent Plugins admin surface when a plugin appears unavailable across the whole installation rather than on just one website.

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.

Get access to plugins

Free does not include Forms or Newsletter / Waitlist. Pro includes one license for each, which your organization owner or admin can enable on a website.

1. Open your site’s Plugins page and choose Forms or Newsletter / Waitlist.
2. On Free, choose Upgrade to Pro. Checkout brings you back to that plugin.
3. Choose Enable on this site when the license is available. If payment has just completed, use Refresh access while the license is being updated.
4. Configure the plugin, then ask Vivd in Studio to add the contact or signup form to the page. Publish and test it. Enabling a license does not add the form to the website automatically.

If all your licenses are used on other sites, choose Buy another license or release an existing license from another site in your organization’s Plugins tab. Members who cannot manage billing should ask their organization owner or admin to enable access.

Table Booking is paused

Table Booking is not available for new websites. Websites that already use it keep working, and its guide stays at Table Booking. For reservations, add a reservation request form with Forms or link to the booking tool you already use.

Managed access

On manually managed instances, Request access still sends a request to the configured support address. For a suspended license, contact support. Ordinary missing paid licenses use the upgrade, purchase, or enable actions above.

Choose the plugin guide

Forms Run a contact form, quote requests, registrations and other forms, each with its own fields, recipients and inbox view.

Analytics Track traffic and interpret activity without leaving Vivd.

Newsletter / Waitlist Capture subscribers or waitlist signups, confirm opt-ins, and send campaigns.

Google Maps Embed a Google Map on a page from a provider-supplied embed URL.

How your emails look

Your website has one email look: its name, logo, colour, language, the address replies go to, and your legal details from the Impressum. Every email your website sends uses it: form confirmations and notifications, newsletter confirmations and campaigns, and booking emails.

Ask Vivd in Studio once, for example: “Make our emails look like the website, in German. Replies should go to [your email address].” Vivd takes the logo, colour and legal details from your website and asks only for what is missing. Until then, emails show your website’s name and a neutral colour.

The look covers logo, colour and footer. The text of each email stays where it is: in the form’s confirmation message or in your campaign.

Recommended launch workflow

1. Finish the main site structure in Studio.
2. Configure the plugins that matter for launch.
3. Test the form, signup, booking, and analytics expectations that apply to your website.
4. Run through the publish checklist.

Re-check plugins when

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