How to Send Gravity Forms Submissions to MailPoet
MailPoet is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. Gravity Forms is one of the most powerful form plugins for WordPress. MailPoet is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why connect directly?
Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-submission fees, no external dependencies.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Gravity Forms installed and at least one form.
- A MailPoet account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect MailPoet to AFI
- MailPoet runs inside WordPress, so no external API key is needed.
- Make sure the MailPoet plugin is installed and activated.
- In AFI, select MailPoet as the action platform.
- Choose a list and map your fields.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Gravity Forms to MailPoet.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Gravity Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select MailPoet as the destination
Choose MailPoet from the platform dropdown and pick Subscribe To List. This subscribes a contact to a MailPoet list.
4. Map fields
Match each MailPoet field on the left to the corresponding Gravity Forms 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 Gravity form and submit. Check MailPoet 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, first name, and last name to MailPoet with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom subscriber 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 confirmation message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple Gravity Forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
