FormsDB for Elementor Forms works with Elementor’s Form Builder, which is available in Elementor Pro.
If you do not have Elementor Pro, you can still create and manage forms by installing Hello Plus along with Elementor Free. Hello Plus provides a form builder that is fully compatible with FormsDB, allowing you to save form submissions to Google Sheets or Any Post Type without upgrading to Elementor Pro.
