# Create Entry

Create an entry in any Gravity Forms form, either with a quiet insert or a normal form submission.

## When to use it

Use Create Entry when a workflow should create a related record in another form, or when a scheduled workflow needs to create an entry without a visitor.

## Settings

![Create Entry settings with Add Entry selected and upstream name and email flow tags](/documentation/flowcrafter/screenshots/action-create-entry-settings.png)

| Setting | What it controls |
| --- | --- |
| Action | **Add entry** (default) inserts directly without validation, confirmations, feeds, or notifications. **Submit form** runs validation, spam checks, confirmation handling, and the normal submission hooks. |
| Target Form | The form that receives the new entry. |
| Field Values | At least one target field ID and value. Values support [flow tags](/documentation/flowcrafter/building/using-flow-tags/). |

**Submit form** can start workflows attached to the target form. It runs in a background job, so a target form that requires CAPTCHA cannot be submitted successfully this way.

## Output and branches

The step has one output containing the new entry: **Entry ID** (`entry_id` and `id`), **Form ID**, standard entry properties, and mapped field values. Downstream entry-aware steps use it automatically.

**Submit form** also provides **Confirmation message** and, when applicable, a confirmation redirect. Validation failure, spam handling that creates no entry, or an insert error fails the step.

## Example

Choose **Add entry**, select a “Projects” form, and map its client-name field to `{{ "Form Submitted"["1"] }}`. The project entry is created without sending that form's notifications. A following [Add Entry Note](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/add-entry-note/) step can record which original request created the project.
