GP Google Sheets is Leaving Gravity Perks

We’ve been working hard on a new product suite for a few months now. We’re calling it Gravity Connect.

Gravity Connect will be a suite of plugins, just like Gravity Perks, but with a specific focus on integrating Gravity Forms with top-shelf services like OpenAI, Notion, and… Google Sheets.

Yup, for the first time in Gravity Perks’ history, a perk is exiting the suite. GP Google Sheets will say farewell to its fellow perks and join the upcoming Gravity Connect suite when it launches in mid-August.

We explain why we’re making this move below, but the most important thing to note is if you’re currently using GP Google Sheets, your Gravity Perks license will have access to GC Google Sheets for the lifetime of your license.¹ No extra cost for you, loyal patron. 🙌

If you’re not using GP Google Sheets, there’s a good chance you will in the future. Buy or upgrade to Gravity Perks Pro today and lock in access to this plugin forever!¹

We know there will be many questions about this change so we’ve done our best to cover the big ones here. If you have any other questions, please let us know. 🙏

What is Gravity Connect?

Gravity Connect is our upcoming product suite dedicated to creating robust, reliable integrations (aka connections) between Gravity Forms and top-shelf services like OpenAI, Notion, and Google Sheets. Each “connection” will be a separate plugin that you install as needed (just like Gravity Perks), keeping your site lean by only loading the Connections you need.

We’ll continue adding new Connections based on customer demand. Here are a few others on our short list: Airtable, Excel 365, and Google Calendar.

What other services would you like to see supported?

Why is Google Sheets leaving the Gravity Perks suite?

We put a mountain of muscle into the development of GP Google Sheets and a river of sweat supporting it since its release – far more than any other perk. There are many more integration plugins we’d like to build for Gravity Forms but, given the resources required to develop and support them, we’re convinced they simply don’t belong in the Gravity Perks suite.

By creating a new suite dedicated to integration plugins, we can generate new revenue to support the development and long-term support of these welcome additions to the Gravity Forms ecosystem.

Am I losing access to GP Google Sheets?

In most cases, no, you are not losing access to GP Google Sheets.

First, it’s important to note that as part of GP Google Sheets’ move to the Gravity Connect suite, it will be renamed to GC Google Sheets.

Here are the specifics about who will have access to GC Google Sheets.

1. ✅ If you currently have GP Google Sheets registered with any Gravity Perks license level, your existing license will grant you access to GC Google Sheets for the lifetime of your license¹.
2. ✅ If you are on a Gravity Perks Pro license, you will have access to GC Google Sheets for the lifetime of your license¹ regardless of whether GP Google Sheets is currently registered.
3. ❌ If you are on a Gravity Perks Basic or Advanced license and do not have GP Google Sheets registered, you will not have access to GC Google Sheets and you will lose access to GP Google Sheets when Gravity Connect officially launches.

After Gravity Connect launches, new Gravity Perks licenses will not include access to GP Google Sheets (or GC Google Sheets).

So Gravity Perks Pro customers get GC Google Sheets for life?

Yes, even if you do not currently have GP Google Sheets registered!

The only caveat is that you must keep your license active. If your license lapses, you will need to purchase a new Gravity Perks license which will not include access to GC Google Sheets.

The same applies for Gravity Perks Basic and Advanced users with one caveat. You must have GP Google Sheets registered before Gravity Connect launches. Don’t have GP Google Sheets registered but would like to lock in access to GC Google Sheets for your Gravity Perks license? Upgrade to Pro today.

When will Gravity Connect launch?

We expect Gravity Connect to arrive in mid-August. We’ll communicate an official date at least two weeks prior to launch. Just make sure you’re emotionally ready for this epic release. 🥹

Gravity Connect arrived on August 21st, 2024. 🔮

How do I upgrade GP Google Sheets to GC Google Sheets?

GCGS will be available by auto-update for GPGS users by September 4th, 2024. If you would like to install GCGS now, you can do so by downloading the plugin from your Downloads page and uploading it to your WordPress installation.

If GPGS was previously active, GCGS will automatically deactivate it and assume responsibility for processing your GPGS feeds.

How does this impact Gravity Perks?

For the better! A new product suite means new revenue and new revenue means we can dedicate new resources towards Gravity Connect – and – free up existing resources to make Gravity Perks shine even brighter.

If you follow our weekly updates, you’ll note we already do a pretty good job of that, but there’s so much more we can do!

¹ If your license is eligible, you will maintain access to GC Google Sheets (previously GP Google Sheets) as long as your Gravity Perks license does not lapse. Lapsed licenses cannot be renewed.
