Convert contact emails into nodes

Maybe a good idea, but it is not going to happen in 6.x. Moving to 7.x queue.

I think it isn't contact.module task.
Because you shall can do following:

1. Create a new content type name like "contact"
2. Create a new action "Send email"
3. Setting the create contact trigger.

The 3. isn't working yet. Just you set the create content(all content types) trigger ;)

This isn't really active right now, so setting as postponed.

Bumping to D8. Definitely want to do this.

Marked #412688: Integrate the contact form with fields as a duplicate of this since we'd have fields available if we convert contact mails to nodes.

You can always use webform module if you need this functionality sooner rather than later.

I think pp is on the right track. Instead of converting into nodes, the first step should be to add a trigger (integration with trigger module).

I didn't know of this issue — the "convert everything into a node" paradigm is obviously obsolete, as we have an entity system now :)

However, I'm actively working to convert contact messages into entities in:
