Why does it take so long?

  1. Why does it take so long for notification emails to be received?

    Thank you!

    We don't control notifications. How it works is the following:

    Gravity Forms uses WordPress' wp-mail.php file to send an e-mail using PHP
    Your server picks up and sends that e-mail on.
    It bounces around, goes through filters before being received.

    The only part of that we control is writing the e-mail to the wp-mail.php file and that happens instantly. If you are seeing delays, it is either the sending server or the receiving server that is causing them.

    I just realized who you are again and what you are dealing with. Can you create a small form with just an e-mail address or something and test to see if it might be the length of conditions you have that are taking extra time to process?
