Connect Gravity Forms and Gmail

Gravity Forms notifications go out through your site's mail setup and often read like system mail. With FlowMattic, each entry can be sent from a real Gmail account instead, routed to the right colleague, followed up a few days later or turned into a draft reply. It suits consultants, agencies and service businesses who already answer clients from Gmail.

When Gravity Forms fires New Form Submission, FlowMattic runs Send Email in Gmail with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Gravity Forms and Gmail workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Email every Gravity Forms entry to your team from Gmail

Each submission arrives as a Gmail message with the fields laid out the way you want, and anyone on the team can answer or forward it from the same inbox.

Send each enquiry to the inbox of the right office

A Lookup Table turns the location or department chosen on the form into an email address, so one form serves several branches without a notification rule for each.

Draft a reply with AI that knows your earlier emails

FlowMattic finds recent Gmail threads with the sender, an AI Agent writes a reply that takes them into account, and the draft waits in Gmail for you to edit and send.

Follow up a quote request three days later

A Delay holds the workflow, then a short personal check-in goes from your Gmail, which often brings back the leads who meant to reply and forgot.

Only email sales when the budget is worth a call

A Filter checks the budget field and lets through only entries above your minimum, so the sales inbox holds the enquiries that deserve a same-day answer.

Reply differently to new and existing customers

A Router reads the form's existing customer question and sends a welcome with next steps to new people, and a support contact note to people who already buy from you.

Set up: each entry emailed from Gmail

When you are done, every new entry on your chosen Gravity Form is emailed from your Gmail account.

  1. Connect Gmail

    Add your Gmail account under Connects in FlowMattic. Gravity Forms runs on the same WordPress site, so it needs no account.

  2. Choose New Form Submission

    Start a workflow with the Gravity Forms New Form Submission trigger, pick the form and submit a test entry so FlowMattic captures its fields.

  3. Write the email

    Add Send Email, set the recipient, subject and body, and place the form fields where they belong in the message.

  4. Test and switch on

    Send the test email, check it in the recipient's inbox and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Every workflow on this page starts with a Gravity Forms entry and runs toward Gmail.
  • Field names in the mapping are examples. Each form has its own fields, and you map the ones yours collects.
  • Messages sent with Send Email come from the connected Gmail account, so connect the address you want people to see and reply to.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Gravity Forms and Gmail connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Replies land in a real inbox

Sending through Gmail means the conversation continues in the account you already work from, with your signature and your sent history.

Entries stay on your server

FlowMattic runs inside your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so form data goes from Gravity Forms to Google without a third service storing it.

More than one notification

Gmail actions such as Create Draft, Find Multiple Emails and Add Label to Email let one entry start a draft, a search or a filing step.

Common questions

What does the Gravity Forms Gmail integration do?

It sends Gravity Forms entries through your Gmail account instead of your site's own mail. Each new entry can send an email, create a draft, or look up earlier messages, using the FlowMattic builder inside WordPress.

Can I send the person who filled in the form a reply from Gmail?

Yes. Map the form's email field into the recipient of Send Email and write the reply with their answers in it. It is sent from your Gmail address.

Can I review the email before it goes out?

Yes. Use Create Draft instead of Send Email. The draft sits in Gmail with the entry's details, and you send it when you are happy with it.

Can I label the emails these entries create?

Yes. After sending, use Find Email to locate the message and Add Label to Email to file it under a label such as Website enquiries.
