What it does
Many WordPress sites send form notifications through the web server's built-in mail function. That route can be slow or unreliable, and messages sometimes end up in spam folders or never arrive at all. For a site that depends on contact form replies, registration emails or order confirmations, a missing message is a real problem. This add-on moves those notifications off your server's mail function and hands them to SendGrid, a dedicated transactional email service built for this kind of sending.
Setup happens inside Gravity Forms. You connect your SendGrid account in the plugin settings, then sync any form, new or existing, so its notifications go out through SendGrid. Notifications can include CC addresses, which helps when a submission needs to reach more than one person. It fits well on business sites, online stores and any site that collects user input and needs dependable email follow-up, and it comes with documentation for setup and troubleshooting.
Best for
- Business sites that depend on contact form notifications
- Online stores sending order confirmation emails
- Sites with registration forms needing reliable delivery
Features
SendGrid API integration
Form notification emails are sent directly through the SendGrid API rather than through your WordPress server's built-in mail function.
Account connection in settings
Connect your SendGrid account from within Gravity Forms, then choose which forms should send their notifications through the service.
Works with new and existing forms
Any form on your site can be synced to SendGrid, so you can switch over forms you already built without recreating them.
Bypasses server mail
By skipping the server's default mail function, the add-on avoids a common cause of slow, lost or spam-flagged notification emails.
CC addresses in notifications
Add CC recipients to your form notifications so copies of a submission reach additional people, such as a manager or a second team inbox.
Built for transactional email
Suited to notifications such as user registrations, order confirmations and contact form responses that people expect to receive promptly.
Setup and troubleshooting guides
Documentation covers getting the connection configured and working through problems if notifications are not sending as expected.

Questions about Gravity Forms SendGrid
Do I need a SendGrid account to use this add-on?
Yes. The add-on connects Gravity Forms to SendGrid, so you link your own SendGrid account in the plugin settings. Once connected, your synced forms send their notification emails through SendGrid's service.
Will it work with forms I have already built?
Yes. The add-on works with both new and existing Gravity Forms. You can sync forms you already use to SendGrid without rebuilding them, which makes it easy to move an established site over.
Why send form emails through SendGrid instead of my server?
Your web server's default mail function can be slow or unreliable, and its messages may land in spam. Sending through the SendGrid API uses a dedicated email service, which lowers the chance of notifications being delayed, lost or flagged.
Can notifications be copied to more than one person?
Yes. The add-on supports CC addresses in notifications, so you can send a copy of a form notification to additional recipients alongside the main address.
Is Gravity Forms SendGrid free?
The code of Gravity Forms SendGrid 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.
