Download Monitor Email Lock

Description

The Email Lock add-on blocks file downloads from Download Monitor until the visitor provides a valid email address in a short form displayed in place of the download button. The capture is stored in the WordPress dashboard and can be exported to CSV, turning each protected file into a lead generation point within the pages, posts and widgets already managed by the base plugin.

Key Features

• Capture form in place of the button
  Replaces the download button with an email field with validation before releasing the file.
• Automatic file release
  After the email is sent, the download starts without redirecting the visitor to another page.
• Lead tracking in the dashboard
  Stores each captured email linked to the corresponding download within the WordPress admin.
• CSV export
  Allows exporting the list of collected emails for use in external email marketing tools.
• Customizable messages and texts
  Sets form labels, warning message and button text directly through the plugin options.

Email Lock Benefits

• Ongoing lead generation
  Turns gated assets into digital lead magnets without relying on an external capture platform.
• Increase in qualified base
  Collects contacts from people with proven interest in the content offered for download.
• Control within WordPress
  Centralizes protected files and captured contacts in the same site admin panel.
• Frictionless download flow
  Keeps the experience fast by releasing the file right after the email is sent.

Who Is It For?

• Digital marketing professionals who distribute e-books, whitepapers and rich materials like lead magnets.
• Businesses and agencies that use Download Monitor to manage files and want to expand their lead base.
• Content creators, infoproducts and educators who offer PDFs, spreadsheets and exclusive resources in exchange for the email.

Designed for sites that use Download Monitor as a file hub, the Email Lock add-on connects the delivery of rich materials to building your contact base. Collection happens within the download flow itself, with no extra steps or parallel tools, keeping lead tracking alongside the protected files in the WordPress dashboard.
