Logic-Driven Form Builder Engine
A drag-and-drop WordPress form builder plugin built from scratch, with conditional logic and direct CRM integration — not a page-builder add-on.

The Challenge
Where This Started.
Before
- Conditional logic and CRM sync never worked cleanly together
- An extra middle-step automation tool was required
- Leads lost to failed CRM syncs
After
- A true drag-and-drop builder, built in React
- Conditional logic evaluated server-side, not hidden with CSS
- Direct CRM integration — no middle-step tool required
Business Impact
Why It Mattered
Every form abandoned to a broken conditional rule, or every lead lost to a failed CRM sync, is a direct cost to a sales pipeline — the two capabilities needed to work as one system, not two bolted together.
Engineering Approach
How We Approached It
Built a dedicated plugin architecture rather than extending an existing form plugin — a React-based drag-and-drop builder on the front end, backed by a rules engine for conditional logic and a direct CRM integration layer.
Architecture
How It's Wired Together.
A React component tree renders the drag-and-drop builder and live form preview; submitted form data passes through a server-side conditional-logic evaluator before being mapped and pushed directly to the connected CRM's API.
Implementation
What We Built
Implemented the builder UI in React, a PHP-side rules engine for conditional field logic, and a CRM integration layer handling field mapping and authenticated API submission.
Technical Highlights
What Made This Work.
-
True drag-and-drop form building, not a config file
-
Conditional logic evaluated server-side, not just hidden with CSS
-
Direct CRM integration — no third-party automation tool required
Results
The Outcome.
Forms with real conditional logic now sync directly into the CRM without a separate integration tool, removing a point of failure between form submission and the sales pipeline.
Lessons Learned
What This Taught Us
Combining a page-builder-style UI with genuine business logic on the backend is a different engineering problem than either one alone — treating it as "just a form plugin" undersells the actual architecture required.
