Set Entry Meta
Write a key/value pair to a Gravity Forms entry's meta.
Store extra data on an entry without adding a visible form field.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”Use entry meta for workflow state or integration values that code and Gravity Forms add-ons may read, such as an external record ID or a “reminder sent” flag. Use Add Entry Note for information staff should read.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Form Source | The form that owns the entry. Usually detected automatically. |
| Entry Source | The entry to update. It defaults to the current entry context and can use an earlier step’s entry. |
| Meta Key | Required storage key. Supports flow tags and must not resolve to an empty string. |
| Meta Value | Value to store. Supports flow tags and may be empty. |
Using an existing key replaces its current value. Choose a specific, stable key so it does not collide with Gravity Forms or another add-on.
Output and branches
Section titled “Output and branches”The step follows one output and provides Entry ID, Meta key, and Meta value. It fails if no entry can be resolved, the key is empty, or Gravity Forms meta functions are unavailable.
Example
Section titled “Example”Set Meta key to crm_contact_id and Meta value to {{ "Create CRM contact".body.id }} after an HTTP Request.
