Form scheduling in WordPress lets you set a start and end time for your form, so it automatically goes live (at start time) and stops accepting submissions (at end time) without you having to manage it manually.
It’s perfect for limited-time campaigns, event signups, surveys, or any application window you only want open for a set period.
