What’s new in Gravity Forms Postmark 1.4.0
Version 1.4.0 · Mar 27, 2024
Latest
- ImprovedImproved performance by caching API responses and increasing timeout.
What it does
Many WordPress sites send form notifications using the web server's native mail function. That approach often leads to delayed messages, notifications that never arrive, or emails that land in spam folders. If your forms handle orders, sign-ups, inquiries or member requests, a missing notification can mean a missed customer or a confused visitor. This add-on addresses that problem by handing email sending to Postmark, a service built for transactional email.
Once you connect your Postmark account, your Gravity Forms notifications are routed through Postmark's SMTP system rather than your own server. You can also track opens and delivery, so you can see when and whether recipients received and read your form emails. Sending is moved off your web server, which takes that work away from it. The add-on fits sites already built on Gravity Forms, such as online stores, membership sites and service businesses that rely on form notifications.
Best for
- Gravity Forms sites with unreliable notification emails
- Online stores and membership sites sending form confirmations
- Service businesses that depend on inquiry form emails

Questions about Gravity Forms Postmark
Why would I send Gravity Forms emails through Postmark?
Your web server's built-in mail function can delay notifications or let them land in spam. Routing them through Postmark, a service built for transactional email, gives your form notifications a dedicated delivery path that is designed to get them into the inbox.
Can I see whether my form notifications were opened?
Yes. The add-on offers open and delivery tracking, so you can see when and if recipients received and read your form notifications. This helps you confirm that messages like order confirmations or inquiry alerts actually reached people.
Do I need a Postmark account to use this add-on?
Yes. The add-on works by connecting your Postmark account to Gravity Forms, and your notifications are then sent through Postmark's SMTP system. You also need Gravity Forms running on your WordPress site.
Does this reduce the email load on my web server?
It does. Instead of your server sending each notification through its native mail function, the sending is handed off to Postmark, which takes that task away from your hosting.
