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.

Love the new Drip integration, but that global honeypot snippet is a lifesaver since I finally stopped getting flooded with bot submissions.
Glad to hear the global honeypot snippet has been helpful! And we’re happy you’re enjoying the new Drip integration as well. Thanks for sharing.
