A) What is Double Opt In Form Gravity Forms? - top

With Double-Opt in for Gravity Forms, only „real“ form requests and messages will reach the recipient. Protect yourself more effective than ever from spam!

What the addon does: Before someone can send a request via Gravity Forms, the sender has to confirm his email address via double opt in. Once this is ensured, the mail will be delivered to the recipient.

Stop getting spam from bots or other troublemakers. This protection is the most effective on the market, because it requires human interaction and a real existing mailbox.

If your Gravity Forms form can reach more than just one recipient by using a select box, you can ensure they won’t be disturbed by mean emails. Here’s an example:

A medical center offers their patients to get in contact with different doctors directly. It must be ensured that only mails from verificated persons, that confirmed their mails via double-opt-in will reach the doctor. With Double Opt In for Gravity Formsthis is now possible very easily.


B) Setup - top

  1. Upload and activate the addon in your WordPress Backend
  2. Create a new form or take an existing one, step into Form Settings
  3. Activate the email address verification under Form Options
  4. Select a page or enter a URL for the „Thank you for your confirmation“ page
  5. Head to „Confirmation Settings“ and change the standard text. Let your users know that they have to check their inboxes after submitting the form
  6. Head to Notifications and add the user’s confirmation notification. For the event, select „Send verification email to user“. Be sure to include {confirm_url}somewhere in the mail text, as this will become the link to confirm the mail address. It can look like this:

  7. Change the event of the administrator mail (the one which is responsible for the form content the user has submitted) to „Send after verification„.
  8. In the entries list, you can see which email is verified. Of course you can also see entries that were not verified – just delete them if they’re not important or spam:

 


C) FAQs - top

  1. Does the sender have to confirm his mail address every time, even if he aldready has confirmed?
    1. No! One time-confirmation for every form.

 


Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this plugin. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this addon. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. If you have a more general question relating to the plugins on Codecanyon, you might consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.
