Form Connector Extension
The Form Connector extension allows Gravity Flow administrators to build workflows that interact across multiple forms on the same site or on remote sites running Gravity Flow. It makes it possible to automate processes that span multiple stages, teams, or systems without manual data transfer.
Key Capabilities
Create New Entries Across Forms
Generate new entries in another form as part of the workflow. Mapped values are sent to the destination form and support for multiline (textarea) fields is included.
Update Existing Entries
Locate and update entries based on defined conditions. This supports multi step processes where information changes over time and needs to stay consistent.
Delete Entries When Required
Remove entries from other forms when they are no longer needed or when cleanup is part of the workflow.
Connect to Remote Sites
Use the Form Submission step to send mapped entry data to another website running the Form Connector extension. This allows workflows to pass data between sites.
Reliable Entry Meta Mapping
Updated support ensures accurate entry meta mapping. This includes correct processing of Entry ID values to keep data consistent between steps.
