Gravity SMTP 1.8.1

We’re pleased to announce the release of Gravity SMTP 1.8.1. This release contains several additions and fixes, including…

Reliably Send WordPress Emails and More

Gravity SMTP is our plugin for integrating WordPress websites with third-party email-sending services.

Thanks to the Setup Wizard, connecting your site to the list of supported email-sending services is very straightforward. You can also integrate your site with other services not supported by the wizard through the custom SMTP integration functionality.

Once you’ve set up at least one integration, all WordPress emails will then be sent by your chosen service, such as Amazon SES, Google, Mailjet, or SendGrid. As a result, emails generated by WordPress, Gravity Forms, and other plugins installed on your site will be sent more reliably.

Some of the key features of Gravity SMTP include:

  • Setup Wizard – Connect your site to the growing list of supported third-party email-sending services.
  • Migrate from Other SMTP Plugins – Use the migration tool to move an existing integration from another WordPress SMTP plugin to Gravity SMTP.
  • Backup Connection – Create a backup connection to act as a fallback service, further increasing reliability.
  • Email Logging – Track the emails sent from your site and view their delivery and open status, check the time and date of sending, recipient addresses, and more.
  • Performance Reports – Quickly analyze delivery performance and filter various metrics, including the total number of emails sent, open rates, top sources, and more.
  • Email Failure AlertsEnable alerts to receive notifications via Webhooks or SMS (via Twilio) when an email fails to send.
