• A MailUp account

1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. On the left side navigation menu, hover over Forms and click on Settings.

5. Once your status is marked as Authorized, you’re ready to begin creating a feed for the MailUp for Gravity Forms extension.

Summary

Before the MailUp for Gravity Forms extension can be used with Gravity Forms, you will first need to create a feed. A feed simply allows form submission data to be sent to another source. In this instance, form data being sent to MailUp.

Create a Feed

To create a feed to MailUp using the MailUp for Gravity Forms extension, do the following from your WordPress Admin Dashboard:

1. Click on Forms in the left side menu.
2. Select the form that you want to use with MailUp.
3. Once within your desired form, hover over Settings and click on MailUp.
4. Click Add New to create a new feed. You will be presented with the MailUp feed settings screen.

Override MailUp Fields

Hook to select whether empty mapped fields should override existing values on MailUp; defaults to override.

add_filter('gform_mailup_override_empty_fields', '__return_false' );

Change Args before submission

Hook to allow args to be changed before sending submission to MailUp

add_filter( 'gform_mailup_args_pre_subscribe', 'override_mailup_params', 10, 4 );

function override_mailup_params( $params, $form, $entry, $feed ) {
        // do stuff

        return $params;
}

Why can’t i save my feed?

If your MailUp list has more than 100 groups and your feed is not saved, it may be due to a PHP configuration of the server hosting your website. Try checking for PHP errors (if you have access to the server) or installing the Query Monitor plugin to see if something is wrong.

Probably the max_input_vars variable needs to be reconfigured with a higher value to allow the feed saving system to work!
