What it does
Collecting sign-ups through a form is easy. Moving those contacts into your email platform is the tedious part, and manual exports tend to cause typos, duplicates and forgotten entries. This add-on handles that transfer for you. Each time someone fills out a connected form, the submitted data is passed to EmailOctopus and the person lands on the list you picked. It can also update contacts that already exist in your account, so returning subscribers keep current details instead of being skipped.
The add-on works with the conditional logic built into Gravity Forms. You can decide which submissions get sent to EmailOctopus and which list each subscriber joins, which helps you keep audiences segmented from the start. Once contacts arrive, everything else happens inside EmailOctopus: automated emails that fire when someone is added, template-based campaigns built with a drag-and-drop editor, and reports on clicks, bounces and unsubscribes. It suits anyone who already builds forms with Gravity Forms and sends email through EmailOctopus.
Best for
- Sites already using Gravity Forms for sign-up forms
- Small businesses sending newsletters through EmailOctopus
- Content creators building segmented mailing lists
Features
Automatic list syncing
Form submissions are sent to your chosen EmailOctopus mailing list as they come in, removing the need to export and import contacts manually.
Conditional logic routing
Use Gravity Forms conditional logic to control which entries are sent to EmailOctopus and which list each subscriber is added to.
Updates to existing contacts
When a person who is already in your EmailOctopus account submits a form again, their contact details can be updated rather than left out of date.
Triggers for email automations
New subscribers added through your forms can start automated email sequences set up in EmailOctopus, so welcome or follow-up messages go out on time.
Segmented subscriber lists
By sending different forms or answers to different lists, you keep your audiences organized for targeted campaigns without sorting contacts later.
Works with EmailOctopus campaign tools
Contacts collected on your site are ready for EmailOctopus templates, its drag-and-drop editor and its reports on clicks, bounces and unsubscribes.

Questions about EmailOctopus
Do I need both Gravity Forms and an EmailOctopus account?
Yes. This is an add-on for Gravity Forms, so the forms are built there, and it connects to your EmailOctopus account where the mailing lists and campaigns live. Without both, there is nothing for the add-on to link together.
Can I send different forms to different mailing lists?
Yes. You can pick the destination list, and with Gravity Forms conditional logic you can decide which submissions are sent and which list a subscriber joins based on their answers. This makes it simple to keep separate audiences for different interests or offers.
What happens if someone who is already subscribed fills out a form again?
The add-on supports updating existing contacts in EmailOctopus. Instead of creating a duplicate or ignoring the entry, it can refresh that person's details with the newly submitted information, which keeps your list accurate over time.
Is EmailOctopus free?
The code of EmailOctopus is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of EmailOctopus is this?
Version 2.0.0, released May 5, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update EmailOctopus?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of EmailOctopus automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
