A colleague of mine requested my assistance after he migrated a client’s WordPress site to a new host, and the email notifications from their Gravity Forms weren’t making it to the client’s inbox. Response times are critical to closing business nowadays, and if you don’t respond quickly, a competitor that does will likely get your business. A quick look and we found that the emails were not authenticated from the new host so their ISP was routing the emails to their SPAM folder.

Sending emails from your WordPress website can often be frustrating and unreliable. Many businesses struggle with poor email deliverability rates, leading to lost opportunities and dissatisfied customers.
