Gravity Forms ActiveCampaign Add-on lets you send subscribers to your email list with ease. You can integrate different forms with different email list or send subscribers conditionally to your list. In this article, I will give you in-depth details about all the settings and features of Gravity Forms ActiveCampaign Addon.
Why Use Gravity Forms when you can use ActiveCampaign Forms?
There are plenty of advantages of using Gravity Forms as compared to ActiveCampaign’s native forms.
Form submissions are stored in WordPress. If you have a long form then you don’t want to send all of that data to Active Campaign. With Gravity Forms you can send only the desired data like name, email, phone number etc. However, you can check the complete submission in from WordPress anytime.
Conditional Logic: Sometimes you may not want every form submission to be sent to ActiveCampaign. With conditional logic can create rules to filter and send only those submissions which meet the criteria.
ActiveCampaigns native forms are no match to Gravity Forms functionality. Gravity Forms has advanced functionality like user registration, chained selects etc which aren’t available in ActiveCampaign.
