Overview
The default WordPress mail function can be unreliable, and messages sent that way are often flagged as spam. Gravity Forms SMTP replaces it with authenticated SMTP connections and API-based email services. Form notifications and confirmations then travel through a provider you choose, which gives them a better chance of reaching the inbox.
The plugin supports email APIs such as SendGrid and Postmark, and a custom SMTP configuration lets you connect other providers. You can switch between enabled services as your needs change. Before going live, you can send a test email to any address. Afterward, the email log shows what was sent, so you can check status and troubleshoot. It is built for sites that already use Gravity Forms.
Features
- Trusted email provider connections: Connect to SMTP and API-based email services such as SendGrid and Postmark, so your WordPress site sends mail through a dedicated provider.
- Custom SMTP configuration: Enter your own SMTP settings to work with email providers that are not listed, which suits sites with specific mail server requirements.
- Switch between email services: Toggle between the providers you have enabled, choosing the service that fits your current email volume or needs.
- Test emails to any address: Send a test message to any address to confirm your settings are correct before real form notifications go out.
- Detailed email logging: Review a record of emails sent from your site, including status, timestamps, sender and recipient details, to monitor delivery and troubleshoot problems.
- Authenticated SMTP sending: Use authenticated SMTP connections in place of the default PHP mail function, which improves email security and lowers the chance of messages being marked as spam.
- Built for Gravity Forms: The plugin is designed for Gravity Forms users and fits into your existing form workflows without a complicated setup.
- Beta Testing Program: Beta testers can take part in the program to gain early insight into the plugin and help influence future features.
Best for
- Gravity Forms sites with unreliable form notification emails
- Site owners using SendGrid, Postmark or a custom SMTP server
- Agencies that need email logs and test sending for client sites
