For use withWhich CRM should you use with Gravity Forms and WP Smart Consent? Both are fully supported. Here is a side-by-side breakdown to help you decide.
SureContact is an email marketing and contact management platform built specifically for WordPress users, from the Brainstorm Force team behind Astra, SureCart, and SureForms. Because SureContact is built for WordPress, connecting it to WP Smart Consent is seamless: opted-in contacts are added directly via the native API with no third-party webhook needed. If you already use SureCart for checkout or SureForms for lead capture, SureContact completes the loop, giving you a single ecosystem for your entire consent and email marketing workflow.
Mailchimp helps businesses of all sizes grow their audience and revenue through email, automations, and analytics. WP Smart Consent instantly adds opted-in contacts to your Mailchimp audience with the correct tags and merge field values.
