Using the Plugin

Feed Forge is incredibly easy to use. There are just two primary steps.

1. Select which entries you want to process feeds for.
2. Select which feeds you want to process for those entries.

Let’s explore!

Selecting Your Entries

Start by going to your Entries view and selecting the entries for which you would like to process feeds.

Gravity Forms provides two helpful features for selecting entries.

1. You can check the checkbox at the top of the Entries table to select all entries on the current page.
2. After selecting all entries on the current page, an option will appear to select all entries across all pages.

Select Feeds to Process

Now that your entries have been selected, click the Bulk Actions drop down to reveal actions you can preform in bulk for the selected entries. Select Process Feeds and then click Apply.

When the Process Feeds modal will appear, you can select any feeds you would like to process for the selected entries. Then click Process Feeds.

Enjoy the sweet smelt of success! 🔥

Background Processing

Feed Forge utilizes Gravity Forms own background feed processor so you don’t have to waste time monitoring its progress.

If you’d like to check in on how the queue is progressing, simply return to the Entries page and Feed Forge will display a message if there are any feeds still being processed.

Note: You do not need to keep the Entries page open for Feed Forge to process the queue.

Known Limitations

• Feed Forge should only be used to process a few thousand entries at a time. Let us know in the comments if you find yourself needing to process more than that.
• Feed Forge will not reprocess the same feed for the same entry. This is a safety measure to avoid accidental reprocessing of the same feed.

FAQs

How many entries can I process at once?

Feed Forge can process a single feed for a few thousand entries without issue (assuming a healthy memory limit). Your mileage will vary beyond that, particularly if you are processing multiple feeds for thousands and thousands of entries in the same operation.

We anticipate Feed Forge meeting most user’s needs in its current iteration but if this proves to be a common limitation, we’re eager to make Feed Forge even more robust!

Can this process feeds when an entry is updated?

Not yet but if that’s something you want, let us know in the comments!

In the meantime, Gravity Forms has some helpful examples of how to trigger feeds after entry updates in their documentation.
