What it does
Gravity Forms sends notifications through the default WordPress mail function unless you change it, and on many hosts that method is unreliable. Messages can arrive late, fail without warning or land in spam. This add-on gives your form notifications a dedicated sending route by passing them to Mailgun, a transactional email service used by developers and businesses to send, receive and monitor large volumes of email. Once connected, your notifications go out through Mailgun's delivery network.
Setup happens in the plugin settings, where you connect your Mailgun account using your private API key, and notification pages link to Mailgun's documentation, including guidance on verifying your sending domain. After that, both existing and new forms can send through Mailgun. Notifications can include CC and BCC recipients, and you can see when emails are opened and which links are clicked. It suits any Gravity Forms site where contact requests, leads or order details need to reach someone's inbox.
Best for
- Gravity Forms sites where notifications often land in spam
- Businesses that collect leads or inquiries through forms
- Agencies managing Gravity Forms on client sites using Mailgun
Features
Mailgun connection for Gravity Forms
Connects Gravity Forms to your Mailgun account so form notifications are sent through Mailgun's transactional email service instead of the default WordPress mail function.
Works with existing and new forms
Forms you have already built and forms you create later can send their notifications through Mailgun without rebuilding them.
Open tracking
Shows when notification emails are opened, so you can tell whether a message was actually seen by the person who received it.
Link click tracking
Records which links inside your notification emails get clicked, which helps you plan follow-ups and judge how recipients respond.
CC and BCC support
Notifications sent through Mailgun can include CC and BCC values, so extra team members or records can receive copies of form emails.
API key based setup
The settings page asks for your Mailgun private API key and includes a link that helps you find it in your Mailgun account.
Domain verification guidance
Links on the notification and settings pages point to Mailgun documentation, including a page that explains how to verify your sending domain.

Questions about Gravity Forms Mailgun Add-On
Do I need a Mailgun account to use this add-on?
Yes. The add-on sends your Gravity Forms notifications through Mailgun, so you connect it to your own Mailgun account using your private API key. You will also want to verify your sending domain in Mailgun, and the plugin links to documentation that explains that step.
Will my existing forms work with Mailgun?
Yes. The add-on works with forms you have already built as well as new ones. Your current notifications can be routed through Mailgun without recreating the forms, so you keep your existing setup and change only how the emails are sent.
Can I see if people open my form notification emails?
Yes. Through Mailgun, the add-on supports tracking of email opens and link clicks. That lets you check whether a notification was opened and which links inside it were clicked, which is useful for following up on leads or confirming that messages are being read.
Can notifications be sent with CC and BCC recipients?
Yes. Notifications sent through Mailgun support CC and BCC values, so you can copy colleagues or keep a hidden record of form emails while the main notification goes to its primary recipient.
