Today, we’re proud to announce the first of many upcoming add-ons being added to our extensive list of supported integrations. With the new Mailgun add-on, you’ll be able to easily send your notification emails using the Mailgun email service, increasing deliverability and removing the need to rely on your web server or another SMTP solution for those critical notifications.

Why Mailgun?

One of the largest issues that users face when running a WordPress site is related to the sending of emails. Often times, web hosts will block sending of emails from their customers’ sites, resulting in lost notification emails. It’s something that our support team sees quite regularly, and we wanted to make an elegant solution that solves a problem that so many WordPress users face.

By using the Mailgun add-on, Gravity Forms users will be able to seamlessly integrate their form notifications with the Mailgun email service. Instead of using their web server to send emails, Mailgun will be used, resulting in much better reliability.

Beyond Basic Emails

By utilizing the Mailgun service for sending notification emails, you’ll also benefit from additional features offered by Mailgun. Within the Mailgun add-on, options are also available for additional tracking such as click or open tracking.

If you have multiple recipients, send notification emails to clients, or just need to keep tabs on your employees, you’ll benefit greatly from Mailgun’s email tracking features. Of course, you’ll also get things like statistics from within your Mailgun account dashboard.

What’s Next?

As we mentioned earlier in the post, the Mailgun is the first of multiple add-ons that will be released within the coming weeks. Be sure to follow us on Facebook or Twitter for the latest in Gravity Forms news and keep an eye out for more email notification service integrations coming soon!
