    I currently use contact form 7 on my wordpress site but I'm finding it to be very limiting. I need a more sophisticated contact form solution and I was recommended to come here.

    Basically my current form captures lead data which is then emailed in real time. In addition to this I need the contact form to send the email containing the captured lead data and also create an xml attachment containing the same data which is formated using a specific xml schema. Also each email would need to have an incremental number assigned in the xml attachment file name.

    Would your contact form be capable of handling my requirements? Any advice on how my requirements could be acheived would be gratefully received along with price quotes.

    Thanks.

    This isn't something Gravity Forms does out of the box. What you described isn't going to be something any of the form applications (plugins or hosted services) do out of the box because it's a specialized use case.

    It's certainly possible to add this functionality to Gravity Forms as a customization, however you would have to have experience with PHP, WordPress development and Gravity Forms API hooks to be able to do something like this.

    By the sounds of it, it probably makes more sense for you to have a custom application built rather than trying to implement this using an existing plugin as none of the existing plugins would do this out of the box.
