Announcing the Gravity Forms Black Friday 2018 Sale!
By Jeff MatsonLast year, we launched our very first deal for Black Friday. Thanks to the overwhelming response (and a huge demand to bring it back from those who missed out), we’re launching yet another 24-hour deal again this year! Here’s your sneak peek… This year, Black Friday pricing will be as follows: 30% off all new Basic licenses. 40% off all new Pro licenses. 50% off all new Elite licenses. As you probably already know, we don’t offer discounts very often on Gravity Forms licenses, so if you’ve been hesitant about buying Gravity Forms, now’s your chance to get a great deal! How do I claim the discount? On November 23rd at 12:00am PST, we’ll be launching our sale. Any purchases on the site will be able to receive the discount automatically. All through Black Friday, ending at 11:59pm PST, any Gravity Forms new purchases will see the discount applied automatically on the checkout page. No jumping through hoops with coupon codes or specialized links required! Please note that this discount only applies to new licenses and is not available for renewals. Licenses will renew automatically at regular price at the end of the license term. Once the deal is live,… READ MORE

Introducing the SendGrid Add-On
By Jeff MatsonRemember when we released the Mailgun add-on and said that we would be releasing more add-ons to send notifications through dedicated email services? Just as we promised, the SendGrid add-on is here! Similar to the Mailgun add-on, the SendGrid add-on will allow you to easily configure your forms to use SendGrid when sending notification emails. Why SendGrid? As we’ve mentioned before, one of the biggest problems that WordPress users face is emails having trouble sending. Whether it’s their web host blocking the email from going out or the host’s shared IP being marked as spam, email issues impact a very high number of WordPress users. By introducing add-ons for email services like SendGrid or Mailgun, that problem is completely eliminated when it comes to Gravity Forms notifications. Instead of trying to send email from the web server or a remote SMTP server, messages are delivered directly from SendGrid using their API. There’s Still More To Come! Just like your favorite late-night infomercial: wait, there’s more! We have yet another email service add-on to release very soon! Of course, if you want to keep up with all of the best Gravity Forms news and releases, follow us on Twitter or Facebook.… READ MORE
