GWW 259: Inbox Incantations
We’re riding a wave of email-related Gravity Forms integrations! First MailPoet, and now, Drip. Plus, a new snippet for enabling Gravity Forms’ honeypot globally.
Greetings, wizards!
Well, we certainly put that end-of-quarter energy to good use. We released two brand new products this month – and – we shared early access to our upcoming bookings solution to a handful of select customers. Talk about March madness. 😂
Let me catch you up on all that wizardry—plus a few extra highlights from this week. ✨
New Plugin #1: The MailPoet Connection
Need a little magic in your emails? 🧙♂️✨
One of our newest spells—Gravity Connect: MailPoet—makes transfiguring Gravity Forms entries into MailPoet subscribers a truly poetic experience.
Whether you’re charming subscribers with a quiz, summoning leads with a form, or enchanting visitors with a giveaway, your mailing list just got a sorcerous upgrade.
Read the full incantation:
New Plugin #2: The Drip Connection
We’re on an email roll lately—first GP Email Validator, then GC MailPoet, and now we’ve got something else on tap…
Say hello to Gravity Connect: Drip, your magical conduit for converting Gravity Forms entries into Drip contacts. From form submission to full-fledged email marketing funnel, this integration weaves Gravity Forms and Drip into one smooth, spellbound journey.
The drip is strong with this one. 💦
New Snippet: Enable Honeypot Globally
Bot spam hit us like a swarm of angry bees this week—hundreds of thousands of bogus submissions. 😵💫
Gravity Forms comes packaged with a helpful tool for catching this kind of spam. It’s called a honeypot. But rather than manually enabling the honeypot on every single Gravity Form (no thanks), we whipped up a magical little snippet that turns it on globally.
Bonus: it skips the honeypot for logged-in users, so our trusted submitters won’t get caught in the trap. Check it out and protect your forms like a wizard with a spam shield. 🛡️🐝
Autobiographical: Dave’s Founder Story
I recently had the pleasure of sharing my Gravity Wiz journey on WPFounders.
Reflecting on my experience as a founder, my biggest takeaway was this: like any great quest, it’s not just about the destination—it’s about the incredible people you’re questing with. I know that sounds like a worn-out cliché, but the older I get, the more I realize those familiar phrases often hold the deepest truths.
TL;DR: Gravity Wiz wouldn’t be what it is without the legendary team of wizards who show up for our customers—every single day.
