How to Send FormCraft Submissions to Mailgun

Mailgun is a email delivery platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Here is how to pipe FormCraft submissions straight into Mailgun using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Mailgun. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with FormCraft installed and at least one form.
• A Mailgun account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Mailgun to AFI

1. Log in to your Mailgun account.
2. Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Private API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Mailgun.
4. Enter your domain and API Key, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it FormCraft to Mailgun.

2. Pick your trigger

Select FormCraft as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.

3. Select Mailgun as the destination

Choose Mailgun from the platform dropdown and pick Add Mailing List Member. This adds a member to a Mailgun mailing list.

4. Map fields

Match each Mailgun field on the left to the corresponding FormCraft field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Fill out your FormCraft form and submit. Check Mailgun to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email and name to Mailgun with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.

Will adding this slow down my form?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal success message without any delay.

Can I connect multiple FormCraft forms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
