Gravity Forms Mailgun Add-On

The Gravity Forms Mailgun Add-On is the official Gravity Forms extension that connects your WordPress forms with Mailgun's transactional email service, ensuring that your form notifications reliably reach your recipients' inboxes.

The problem is well known: by default, WordPress sends emails using PHP's native mail function, which lacks proper authentication and often ends up in the spam folder or simply doesn't get delivered. Some hosting providers even block this function entirely. If you've ever had a client claim they submitted a form and you received nothing, this add-on directly addresses that issue.

With this add-on, all your form notifications are sent through the Mailgun API, a service specialized in transactional email that offers a much higher delivery rate and better sender reputation. Setup is simple: install the add-on, create a free Mailgun account, authenticate your domain by adding the corresponding DNS records, and paste your private API key into the Gravity Forms settings.

• Reliable delivery: your form emails are sent via the Mailgun API, avoiding WordPress's native mail function and its spam issues.
• Per-notification control: you can choose Mailgun as the sending service for individual notifications while keeping the default sending method for others.
• Domain authentication: verify your domain with TXT, MX, and CNAME records to improve sender reputation and reduce spam signals.
• Advanced tracking: with the CNAME record configured, you can track opens, clicks, and unsubscribes.
• Free plan available: Mailgun allows you to send up to 1,000 emails per month for free, enough for most WordPress sites.
• Ideal for critical forms: perfect for leads, bookings, internal support, registrations, or business inquiries where every email counts.

The add-on is available on all Gravity Forms license plans and installs directly from the WordPress admin panel, in the Gravity Forms add-ons section. If your site relies on forms to generate business or serve your customers, this add-on is a minimal investment that will save you from lost emails and frustrated clients.
