2. Configuring the Trigger Step with Gravity Forms

The next step involves configuring the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will select Gravity Forms as your trigger application. Choose the event ‘New Response’ to ensure that every time a new form submission is made, it triggers the workflow.

• Select ‘Gravity Forms’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL to connect with Gravity Forms.

After selecting the trigger event, copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. This URL will be used in your Gravity Forms settings to receive form submissions. Make sure to save your settings in Pabbly Connect before moving on to the next step.

3. Connecting Gravity Forms to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have your webhook URL, it’s time to connect Gravity Forms with Pabbly Connect. Log in to your WordPress account where Gravity Forms is installed. Navigate to the specific form you want to connect, and click on ‘Settings’.

• Under ‘Settings’, select ‘Webhooks’.
• Click on ‘Add New Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL, set the request method to ‘POST’, and format to ‘JSON’.

After entering the required details, save your settings. This setup allows Gravity Forms to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new submission is made. Test the connection by submitting a form entry to ensure everything is configured correctly.

4. Setting Up Mailgun in Pabbly Connect

With Gravity Forms connected, the next step is to set up Mailgun as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Mailgun from the list of applications and choose the action event as ‘New Mailing List Member’. This will create a new member in your Mailgun account whenever a form submission is received.

To connect Mailgun, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter the required details:

Enter your Mailgun API Key, which can be found in your Mailgun account under ‘API Security’. Specify the Mailgun host region (US or EU). Provide your Mailgun domain name.

After entering all the necessary information, click on ‘Save’. This action will successfully link your Mailgun account with Pabbly Connect, allowing you to create members automatically.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

Now that both Gravity Forms and Mailgun are connected through Pabbly Connect, it’s time to finalize the integration. In the Mailgun action step, select the mailing list where new members should be added. Map the form fields from Gravity Forms to ensure the correct data is sent to Mailgun.

For example, map the email address and name fields from the form submission to the corresponding fields in Mailgun. Once all fields are mapped correctly, save your settings and send a test request to verify that a new member is created in your Mailgun account.

To confirm the setup, check your Mailgun mailing list to see if the new member appears correctly. This process ensures that every new form submission from Gravity Forms is captured in Mailgun, streamlining your email communication.
