Form Submitted

Form Submitted starts a run when someone submits the form attached to the workflow. It also gives later steps access to the submitted entry.

When to use it

Use this trigger when every new submission to this form should begin the same process, such as routing applications, sending follow-up messages, or updating another system.

Output and branch

The single default branch receives the full Gravity Forms entry. Its flow tags include form fields and standard entry properties.

Output	Meaning
id, form_id	Entry and form IDs.
date_created, date_updated	Submission and update times.
status, currency	Entry status and currency.
created_by, source_url, ip	Submission context.
Numeric keys such as 1 or 2.3	Values from fields on the form.
run_started_at, run_started_timestamp	When this run started, in site time and as a Unix timestamp.
last_completed_run_started_at, last_completed_run_started_timestamp	When the last run that completed successfully started. Empty until a run has completed.

Every trigger carries the two run-start values. To fetch only what’s new since the last run, put Last completed run started in Get Entries’ Created after and This run started in its Created before.

Run a test submission before choosing form-field flow tags so the builder can show real output.

Good-to-knows

• Only active, valid workflows launch automatically.
• The trigger responds to newly created entries. Editing an existing entry does not start another run.
• It watches the workflow’s attached form; it does not choose among several forms and is not available for global workflows.

Example

To welcome each new Pro member:

1. Start with Form Submitted on the registration form.
2. Add Condition (entry) and check whether the Membership field is Pro.
3. Connect each branch to the appropriate Send Email step.
