Step 1 — Install and Activate GC MailPoet
GC MailPoet is available through Gravity Connect. You can find the download under Account > Downloads > Gravity Connect.
Step 2 — Create a GC MailPoet Feed
Head to the form you want to connect to MailPoet. In the Settings menu, click on MailPoet and it’ll take you to the GC MailPoet Feeds screen. From there, click on Add.
Step 3 — Set Up GC MailPoet Feed
MailPoet feeds can perform four different actions, with “Subscribe” being the default. So you can go straight to the Feed Action Settings and map the following fields:
Lists: Choose which MailPoet list(s) new subscribers should be added to. You’ll see both your existing MailPoet lists and MailPoet Lists fields.
You can add the MailPoet Lists field directly from the form editor, letting users choose from your MailPoet lists as they fill out your form. For more details, check out the MailPoet Connection documentation.
Email Field: Link to the Email field in your form that will be added to the lists selected above.
First & Last Name Fields (Optional): Link Gravity Forms Name fields (First and Last) to MailPoet’s name fields.
Tags (Optional): Select from your MailPoet tags or any form field to tag subscribers as they are added. You can create new tags on the fly too.
If you’re using MailPoet Custom Fields, you can map those to any matching form fields right below the Feed Action Settings to keep subscriber information organized from the start.
Last, but certainly not least, you can enable conditional logic to only run a feed when certain conditions are met. For example, only run the MailPoet Connection feed if the user agreed to receive emails.
Tip: Pair conditional logic with multiple feeds to create conditional subscriptions!
Step 4 – Test Connection
Once your feed is saved and ready to go, run a test entry to confirm everything is set up correctly.
Step 5 – Make Magic Happen with MailPoet
Now that you’re set up to have subscribers automatically added from Gravity Forms, you can put MailPoet’s features to use. For example, map a “Lead Source” custom field to a Gravity Forms hidden field, then link it to a segment just for leads that came through Gravity Forms — or a specific form —ready for targeted follow-ups or onboarding emails.
