Great! WP-MP-Contact plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.Tested on Gravity Forms 1.8.19, will probably work under versions from 1.6.
WP-MP-Contact is a Gravity Forms add-in for UK Member of Parliament email campaigns. Using API calls to They Work for You, a campaigning organisation can add an 'MP-Contact' field to their gravity form which allows pre-population of an (editable) message to send to an MP.
Unfortunately, the Guardian has decomissioned their politics API that allowed for this plugin to return an MP's email address without any further input from the administrator. This plugin now uses a Google Spreadsheet as the data source for email addresses. These can either be purchased from DeHavilland, or entered manually from http://parliament.uk. The lookup still uses the Guardian's format of constituency names, so the data in the Google Spreadsheet is looked up from the Guardian Constituency in column A. An example spreadsheet is available at https://docs.google.com/a/properdesign.co.uk/spreadsheets/d/1OCmI1t_6Ou_1CwcK3u0IfhRq3UZ6KaK0Qn5zEfp-DJ4/edit#gid=0
On the front-end, the user enters their UK postcode. If the postcode is valid, WP-MP-Contact will show a slide-down drawer with the MP's details and a pre-populated message from the campaigning organisation (set by the administrator in Gravity Forms settings).
The user has the ability to edit the message that the campaigner has pre-populated before sending an email to the MP.
In the Gravity Forms back end, all submissions are recorded in the usual Gravity Forms entries interface.
MP-Contact comes with minimal styling out of the box and doesn't pre-suppose how it will look in your theme. Go on, get stuck into styling it, it's only a bit of flexbox.
