Gravity Forms SendGrid Add-On 1.6.0

The Gravity Forms SendGrid Add-On refers to the official integration developed by the Gravity Forms team, designed to enhance the reliability of the email notifications sent from your WordPress forms.

The integration focuses on two key, separate aspects of email communication:

1. 📧 Improving Notification Deliverability

This is the primary function of the official Gravity Forms SendGrid Add-On:

Reliable Email Sending: Instead of relying on your web host's often unreliable default PHP mail function (which frequently leads to emails being flagged as spam or disappearing entirely), the add-on sends your form notifications directly through SendGrid's transactional email API.

Per-Notification Control: You can choose, on a per-notification basis within each Gravity Form, which notifications are sent via SendGrid's reliable infrastructure and which ones use the default WordPress method.

Transactional Focus: This integration is specifically designed for the transactional emails your forms generate (like confirmations to users, or internal alerts to your team).

2. 🎯 Integration with SendGrid Marketing (Separate Plugins)

While the official Gravity Forms add-on focuses on deliverability of form notifications, other third-party plugins (like those from WP Connect or Gravity Extra) focus on marketing automation. These tools allow you to:

Sync Contacts: Automatically add new contacts/leads from Gravity Forms submissions to your SendGrid Contact Lists.

Field Mapping: Map the specific fields from your form (Name, Email, Custom Fields) to corresponding SendGrid contact attributes.

Conditional Logic: Only send a form submission to SendGrid if certain conditions are met (e.g., only subscribe them if the "Subscribe to Newsletter" checkbox is checked).

Double Opt-In: Integrate double opt-in workflows using SendGrid templates to confirm new subscribers.
