First of all, thank you for subscribing to WPForms!
We’re excited to help you create forms the easy way. We’ll be sharing all the best tips, techniques, and resources to help you make the most of WPForms to save you time and help grow your business.
But before we do that, we want to make sure that you can receive all of our emails.

Why is this important?
Many e-mail and internet service providers have put in aggressive programs and filtering system to block unwanted e-mails (also known as spam).
WPForms applauds their intention to protect all of us from spam, but everyone agrees that the current system is far from perfect.
Often these programs block e-mails that you actually want to get. Here’s how you can help the system prevent “false positives” and join the fight against spam.
Solution: Allow-list Emails from WPForms
An allowlist is a list of email addresses of people who you want to receive emails from (and the system will never block those).
It’s a way for you tell your email provider that Syed from WPForms is my friend, and I actually want to learn from him.
When you do this, email providers actually use your list to make adjustments to their overall filtering system which in turn helps the entire world!
How to allowlist WPForms emails before your delivery is interrupted
Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn’t here, please contact your ISP’s customer service folks for their instructions.
Also if you forward us their answer, then we will add it on this page for others.
Gmail
1. In your inbox, find an email from [email protected] (for example, your welcome email)
2. Drag this email to the “primary” tab of your inbox.
3. Add us to your contacts in Gmail!
Here’s the easiest way to do that.
First, open up the email from [email protected].
Then hover your mouse over the sender’s name. From the popup, click More Info.
4. You’ll see that all our emails will go to your primary folder in the future!
Yahoo! Mail
Hover over the sender’s email. Select “Add to contacts”. That’s it! You’re done!
Apple Mac Mail
If you’re on a Mac, we’ll show you the easy way to add us to your allowlist.
Open up Mail and look to the top left of your screen. Click Mail and then click Preferences from the dropdown.
From the icons along the top, click Rules.
Next, click the Add Rule button.
We’re going to create a new rule as follows:
