== Description ==
Want to know where your email leads are coming from? This simple plugin can add analytic data to any WordPress website contact form submission and WooCommerce emails.

Stop guessing where your leads and conversions are coming from and start knowing instantly in your email notifications. No longer do you have to stumble through your analytics software (e.g. Google Analytics) to try and guess where a conversion came from. This plugin will save you time and let you focus on your customers and generating new conversions.

This plugin is designed to be complementary to your analytics software (e.g. Google Analytics) and not a stand-alone analytics solution. This plugin provides instant analytics for fast insights on user behavior and how your marketing efforts are turning into conversions.
