Gravity Perks Notification Scheduler transforms your standard Gravity Forms notifications into a powerful communication tool by allowing you to delay, schedule, or repeat emails based on form submission data. Whether you need to send a follow-up email three days after a lead is captured, trigger a reminder before an event, or automate a drip campaign directly from your contact form, this plugin ensures your messages reach your users at the perfect moment without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Flexible Delay Options: Choose exactly when your notifications should be sent. Delay emails by minutes, hours, days, or weeks after the form is submitted.
- Date-Based Scheduling: Send notifications on a specific date or relative to a date field submitted within the form, perfect for appointment reminders or event follow-ups.
- Recurring Notifications: Set up automated follow-up sequences. You can configure emails to repeat at set intervals, making it easy to create simple drip campaigns or recurring check-ins.
- Conditional Logic Integration: Leverage Gravity Forms’ native conditional logic alongside scheduling. Only trigger scheduled notifications when specific user criteria are met.
- Dynamic Date Support: Use merge tags to pull dates from your form entries, ensuring the notification schedule is personalized to the user’s specific input.
- Easy Management: View and manage all your scheduled notifications directly within the Gravity Forms interface, giving you full control over your automated communication flow.
- Reliable Processing: Built on the robust Gravity Perks framework, the plugin ensures your scheduled tasks are handled reliably in the background, keeping your site performance optimized.
Use Cases / Who It’s For
Gravity Perks Notification Scheduler is an essential tool for business owners, marketers, and developers who rely on Gravity Forms to manage customer relationships. If you are tired of manually sending follow-up emails or relying on expensive third-party marketing automation platforms for simple tasks, this plugin provides a streamlined, native solution.
For service-based businesses, it is ideal for sending automated appointment reminders 24 hours before a scheduled meeting, reducing no-shows without extra work. E-commerce store owners can use it to send post-purchase check-ins or “how-to” guides a few days after a product is delivered, fostering better customer relationships. Content creators and course instructors can utilize the recurring notification feature to send a series of onboarding emails or weekly tips to new subscribers, effectively automating their lead nurturing process directly from their WordPress dashboard.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Activate: Ensure you have Gravity Forms installed and active, then install and activate the Gravity Perks Notification Scheduler.
- Configure Notification: Navigate to your form’s Notification settings. You will see new scheduling options added to your existing notification configurations.
- Set the Trigger: Choose whether to send the notification immediately, after a specific delay, or on a date derived from a form field.
- Refine with Logic: Apply any necessary conditional logic to ensure the notification only sends to the appropriate audience.
- Save and Test: Save your settings and perform a test submission to ensure the notification is queued correctly. The plugin handles the rest, sending the email at your specified time.
Similar Plugins
While various third-party marketing automation plugins (such as Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign integrations) offer email scheduling, they often require external accounts and complex API setups. Gravity Perks Notification Scheduler is distinct because it functions entirely within your WordPress environment, utilizing your existing site infrastructure and Gravity Forms data, making it a lightweight alternative for those who prefer to keep their automation workflows centralized and native to their website.
