Gravity Flow – Create Powerful WordPress Automations
Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow integrate seamlessly to add robust automation capabilities to WordPress.
For those seeking to streamline their processes, transitioning from email-based or traditional paper-based methods to efficient online systems, Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow offer a powerful solution.
With Gravity Flow, users can create an array of complex workflows by using over 40 different action steps. This flexibility allows you to create custom workflows that meet your organization’s unique automation requirements.
Here are some of the things that you can automate with Gravity Flow:
- Send one or more emails on different schedules (or you can also send text messages via Twilio).
- Assign the form entry for approval. For example, if you create an employee vacation request form, you could have employees fill out the form and then assign it to HR for approval.
- Generate PDF documents.
- Accept payments at any point in the workflow.
- …lots more – again, there are 40+ actions to choose from.
As a form entry progresses through a workflow, its journey is recorded. This tracking feature provides a convenient method for monitoring and assessing the progress of your workflows.
If you’ve had enough of chasing pieces of paper around the office or you’re tired of emails getting lost in organizational inboxes, creating custom automated workflows with Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow is a flexible alternative.
Gravity Flow Form Connector Extension
By installing the Gravity Flow Form Connector Extension alongside Gravity Flow and Gravity Forms, you’ll be able to add steps to workflows that interface with other forms on the same or different site.
Thanks to this, the Form Connector Extension can be used to create new entries as well as delete and update existing entries. It can also complete an approval step in a workflow or user input step for an entry of a different form, with the ability to wait until a specific form has been submitted. The Form Connector Extension documentation provides more information on this functionality.
