Contact Management
Case overview
The plugin provides a centralized contact management system for Umbraco-based web applications. It allows administrators to manage all incoming contacts and form submissions directly from the backoffice, track user interactions, and reduce spam through configurable rules and validation mechanisms. The system also consolidates all contact-related data in one place, making it easier to monitor, filter, and process leads efficiently. In addition, it offers detailed insights into user behavior, including request history, landing pages, and session navigation paths.
Goal: The main goal of the plugin is to streamline contact management for administrators by providing a fast, structured, and unified workflow for handling incoming requests. It aims to reduce spam, improve lead quality, and enable data-driven decisions through better visibility into user interactions and contact form activity.

The challenges
High-Volume Contact Data Handling
Efficiently managing a growing number of contact submissions within the Umbraco backoffice without degrading performance or UI responsiveness.
Backoffice Integration Complexity
Seamlessly integrating the plugin into Umbraco Backoffice Extension API while maintaining a native user experience across different Umbraco versions.
Spam Detection Logic Design
Designing a flexible spam threshold system that can adapt to different traffic patterns without producing false positives or losing legitimate leads.
Session & Page History Tracking
Capturing and reconstructing user navigation paths (landing page, referrer, page history) in a reliable way while respecting performance constraints.
Frontend Compatibility
Supporting multiple frontend implementations (AngularJS in Umbraco v13 and Lit in Umbraco v17) without duplicating core logic or breaking consistency.
Self-Contained Data Storage
Ensuring stable data storage and synchronization using only internal infrastructure (NPoco + Umbraco migrations) without relying on third-party services.
Solutions
Manage, track, and organize every contact request from a single centralized location within the system. The plugin provides a comprehensive set of tools that support efficient contact management, effective spam prevention, and detailed insights into user journeys directly inside the Umbraco backoffice.
