SendToMP lets your website visitors send verified messages directly to their Member of Parliament or a member of the House of Lords. Every message goes through a double opt-in confirmation flow, so only genuine constituents can contact their representatives.<\/p>\n\n
Built by a former parliamentary assistant who understands how MP offices process inbound correspondence, SendToMP is designed to produce messages that get read and acted upon.<\/p>\n\n
Every feature is available to everyone. There is no paid tier, no licence key, no message quota, and nothing is held back.<\/p>\n\n
How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Form plugin support:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Key features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A note on data.<\/strong> The constituent's postcode is sent to the UK Parliament Members API in order to identify their representative. Nothing else leaves your site for that lookup: not their name, not their email address, and not their message. If you configure Brevo as your email provider, the message is sent to Brevo for delivery. See the External services section below for the detail.<\/p>\n\n This plugin relies on one external service to function, and optionally on a second if you choose it as your email provider.<\/p>\n\n 1. UK Parliament Members API (required)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The plugin uses the UK Parliament Members API to work out which MP or Peer represents a constituent, and to obtain the contact address that Parliament publishes for that member. The plugin cannot do this locally: the mapping from postcode to constituency to sitting member changes with boundary reviews, by-elections and appointments, and only Parliament publishes it. No account or API key is required, and the plugin sends no credentials.<\/p>\n\n Data sent, and when it is sent:<\/p>\n\n The constituent's name, email address, and message content are never sent to Parliament. Responses are cached in your site's transients so the same postcode is not looked up repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n Service: UK Parliament Members API, https:\/\/members-api.parliament.uk\/\nTerms of use (Open Parliament Licence): https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/site-information\/copyright-parliament\/open-parliament-licence\/\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/site-information\/data-protection\/<\/p>\n\n 2. Brevo (optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Brevo is one of the email delivery providers you may choose on the Email Delivery tab. It is only contacted if you select it and enter your own Brevo API key. If you use your existing SMTP plugin, your own SMTP server, or the WordPress default mailer instead, the plugin never contacts Brevo.<\/p>\n\n Data sent, and when it is sent: when Brevo is the selected provider, each outgoing email is sent to Brevo's transactional email API at the moment it is delivered. That includes the recipient's address, the constituent's name and email address as the reply-to, the subject, and the message body. This applies both to the confirmation email sent to the constituent and to the message delivered to the MP or Peer.<\/p>\n\n Service: Brevo, https:\/\/www.brevo.com\/\nTerms of use: https:\/\/www.brevo.com\/legal\/termsofuse\/\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/www.brevo.com\/legal\/privacypolicy\/<\/p>\n\n The plugin contacts no other external service. It sends no analytics, usage data, or telemetry anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Double opt-in ensures that only the actual owner of the email address can send a message to a representative. It prevents abuse, it records explicit consent, and it means the messages that arrive are genuine constituent correspondence. Messages sent this way carry more weight in an MP's office, because the office can trust they are real.<\/p><\/dd>\n Gravity Forms, WPForms, and Contact Form 7. There is also a webhook \/ REST API endpoint for custom integrations with platforms like Zapier, n8n, Make, or a CRM. All of them are available to every user.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Visitors can search for and select a Peer by name.<\/p><\/dd>\n The postcode is sent to the UK Parliament Members API, which returns the constituency and its sitting MP, along with the contact address Parliament publishes for them. Only the postcode is sent. See the External services section for full detail.<\/p><\/dd>\n Some members, particularly in the Lords, have no published email address. SendToMP will tell the visitor it cannot deliver the message rather than accepting it and failing silently. As the site owner you can supply an address yourself under SendToMP \u2192 Address Overrides, which takes precedence over the published one. That is also the place to correct an address that has changed.<\/p><\/dd>\n You need some reliable way to send mail. WordPress's default The constituent's name, email address, postcode, and message are stored on your own site. The message itself is held encrypted in a pending record until it is confirmed, and that record is deleted when the confirmation link expires. A row in the submission log recording the name, email address, postcode, subject, and status is kept for the log retention period, which defaults to 90 days, and is then deleted automatically. That log row is kept whether or not the message was ever confirmed.<\/p>\n\n The Privacy tab includes a suggested privacy-policy paragraph that describes this accurately, using your site's own configured expiry and retention values. You are welcome to copy it into your privacy policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n Go to SendToMP \u2192 Privacy and use the Erase Data tool. Enter the person's email address and the plugin deletes their submission log entries and any pending submissions.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Updates come from WordPress.org. Click \"Enable auto-updates\" next to SendToMP on the Plugins screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Every feature in this plugin is free and fully functional.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Older entries have been trimmed.
