Gravity Forms By Gravity Forms Published April 4, 2024

Brand New Release-Gravity Forms 2.8.7

We’re pleased to announce the release of Gravity Forms 2.8.7. This release contains a number of updates and fixes, including…

  • Updated JavaScript and CSS from the assets directory to always load minified versions.
  • Updated the minimum WordPress version (for support) on the System Status page to 6.4.

Gravity SMTP: Coming Soon!

Gravity SMTP is our soon-to-be-released plugin for sending emails via WordPress websites.

The plugin is currently available as a release candidate and will be getting a full release very soon!

With Gravity SMTP installed, you’ll be able to choose from a selection of trusted email service providers to use for sending emails from WordPress.

The wizard makes it very easy to set up an integration with the following email service providers:

  • Brevo
  • Mailgun
  • Postmark
  • SendGrid

However, if your choice of SMTP service provider is not on the list of options supported by the setup wizard, you can also create a custom integration.

Once you’ve set up the integration, your WordPress emails, as well as Gravity Forms notification emails, will be sent via your choice of provider, with the goal of improving their deliverability.

Another benefit of using Gravity SMTP is that it adds a logging area to your WordPress dashboard. From there, you can see at a glance the status of emails sent by your site, including whether or not they’ve been successfully sent, the date and time, the recipient’s address, and more.

Check the SMTP Roadmap to see what other integrations and features are on the horizon.

And for more in-depth information on Gravity SMTP, check out the documentation.

Note: After the beta period ends, Gravity SMTP will initially only be available with an Elite license. However, while in beta/RC, the plugin can be installed and tested by anyone with an active Gravity Forms license.
