Plugins Overview

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

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 installation 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.

Project access vs activation

Everyone on the project can open the project plugin list and use plugins that are already enabled. Enabling a plugin is still an admin action. If a plugin is listed but not active yet, non-admin users can use the in-product request flow; Vivd sends that request through the configured support email and keeps it in a sent state until the plugin is enabled.

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.

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

Table Booking Accept restaurant reservations, manage service windows, and review booking operations.

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 the project.
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.
