How to Connect Gravity Forms to MailerPress

Send the people who fill in a Gravity Forms form straight to a MailerPress list. You connect each form with a MailerPress feed (a rule, in the form settings, that sends each entry to another service). In the feed, you choose the list, the tag and the fields to sync.

This integration requires MailerPress Pro 1.0 or later and Gravity Forms (a paid plugin).

Create a MailerPress feed

1. Go to Forms, hover the form you want to connect, then click Settings > MailerPress.
2. Click Add New.
3. In Name, enter a name for the feed (for example, Newsletter).
4. In MailerPress List, choose the list where contacts are added (required). The mapping settings appear below.
5. Optionally, choose a MailerPress tag to apply to these contacts.
6. Under Options, keep or clear Double Opt-In (checked by default). See the next section.
7. In Map contact fields, choose the form field for each MailerPress field (see the list below).
8. Optionally, enable Conditional Logic to send only some entries, for example when a “Subscribe to the newsletter” checkbox is ticked. When it is disabled, all entries are sent.
9. Click Save Settings.

Fields you can map:

• Email Address (required): an Email or Hidden field.
• First name and Last name: a Name or Hidden field.
• Your MailerPress custom fields, listed by label. Create them first in MailerPress (see Manage Your Contact Fields).

From now on, each submission of this form adds or updates the contact in the selected list.

Double opt-in

Double opt-in means the new contact must click a link in a confirmation email before being subscribed. The feed’s Double Opt-In option works together with MailerPress > Settings > Sign-up Confirmation:

• Sign-up confirmation enabled and Double Opt-In checked: the contact gets the Pending status and receives the confirmation email. They are subscribed after confirming.
• Double Opt-In cleared: the contact is subscribed directly.
• Sign-up confirmation disabled: the contact is subscribed directly, whatever the feed option.

See Enable sign-up confirmation (double opt-in).

Check the result

In MailerPress > Audience > Contacts, contacts added by this integration show Gravity Forms as their opt-in source. On the contact page, this source links to the form’s entries.

If a contact is not added, open the entry in Gravity Forms and check its notes. The feed adds an error when the email address is invalid (“A valid Email address must be provided.”) or when no list is selected in the feed.
