Overview
Auto Form CRM is a WordPress plugin that loads a full-screen React CRM inside wp-admin. Installation follows the standard WordPress plugin flow.
Install from the dashboard
- In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New.
- Search for Auto Form CRM (or upload the ZIP under Upload Plugin).
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
After activation
A new top-level menu Auto Form CRM appears (capability auto_form_crm_view_contacts is required to see it). Opening it loads the CRM shell: the WordPress admin menu and admin bar are hidden on that screen for a focused workspace.
The React app calls /wp-json/auto-form-crm/v1/... as a logged-in user. The bootstrap object autoFormCrmData includes apiUrl (REST base), nonce for WordPress REST, and your allowedPages for navigation.
Requirements
Use a current WordPress version and PHP version supported by your hosting stack. If assets fail to load, confirm assets/dist/main.js and main.css exist under the plugin directory (run the plugin front-end build if you are developing from source).
Tip: After upgrades, the plugin runs database migrations on init so schema stays current. If something looks missing, clear object cache and reload the CRM page.
