Gravity Wiz Weekly 197

Greetings, wizards! 

I’m back this week after a short vacation visiting with my wife’s family in California. The weather in Orange County was amazing. 🌤️

Speaking of amazing things, did you know our new product line drops next week? It’s been a long road but I am so proud of Gravity Shop’s first product ever: GS Product Configurator. 😍

Keep an eye on your inbox. We’re working hard on the finishing touches!

Now onward, to this week’s wizardry. 🧙‍♂️ 

Wizardly Highlights

Gravity Forms OpenAI

Connect Gravity Forms with the unrivaled power and intelligence of AI.

This week, we unleashed a flurry of new features for Gravity Forms OpenAI to help you do more for with our robot overlords.

1. First, if you find you need more context for your ultra beefy prompts, we’ve added support for the `gpt-3.5-turbo-16k` model which gives you up to 16k of context. That’s… a lot.
   
2. Next, you can now reorder your OpenAI feeds to ensure that they process in your desired flow. This is useful when you feed the response from one OpenAI feed to another.
   
3. Lastly, OpenAI feeds are now exported alongside the form when the form is exported, and imported when the form is imported. Life is good!

GP Notification Scheduler

Schedule Gravity Forms notifications to arrive when they matter most — onboarding campaigns, anniversary offers, and time-sensitive reminders!

If you’re using Notification Scheduler, you might want to prevent certain emails from being unsubscribed from your scheduled notifications. 

For example, one Gravity Perks customer wrote in about how they’d accidentally unsubscribed an internal email address that was expected to receive daily reminder emails to follow up on targeted leads. Oops! 

We added a new filter, gpns_unsubscribe_email, so that he could whitelist that email address. Just return `false` to prevent any email from being unsubscribed. 👍

GP Post Content Merge Tags

Use Gravity Forms merge tags directly in your WordPress post content. Use a single confirmation page for multiple forms plus better styled (and persistent) confirmations.

One of the sleeper features of our Post Content Merge Tags perk is the humble [eid] shortcode. Say what you will about shortcodes, those little suckers are versatile! 

When customers ask us how to use Gravity Forms merge tags in builders like Elementor and Beaver Builder, we’re always pleased to say, “We’ve got a shortcode for that!”

This week, we updated the [eid] shortcode to support multi-input fields (like Name and Address fields). Oh, and check out the awesome crash course on using Post Content Merge Tags to create persistent order confirmations pages below!

Full changelog is available below. You’ll definitely want to peep the hefty integration additions we made for Populate Anything and Nested Forms this week. 🙌

Crash Course: Persistent Order Confirmations

Gravity Forms confirmation pages can be generic and permanent or personalized but temporary. Post Content Merge Tags gives you both personalization and permanence. This makes for more useful confirmations that can be linked from emails or bookmarked for later.

Let’s dive into how this can be configured in less than 5 minutes!

GS Product Configurator | Populate Field with Order ID

I’m totally jumping the gun here but I couldn’t help but share our first snippet for the upcoming GS Product Configurator! 

While the order ID is captured in the entry meta, sometimes entry meta isn’t always accessible where you need it. Capturing data in a field value is often a simple solution to this limitation.

With this snippet, you can add the `wc_gf_order_id` class to your field’s Custom CSS Class setting and the value will be populated with the order ID after checkout. Thanks for the code, @rochekaid!

If you’re already on the alpha, you can use this snippet now. If not, let’s talk next week. 😉

Nested Forms | Hide Empty Summary Columns

So you have a couple Summary Fields that might have a value or might not. If no child entry has a value, the column for that Summary Field is a big pile of empty. BORING! But we’ve got the magic sauce with this snippet. 🪄

Even Better | Prevent Duplicate Selections

Just what it says on the tin: prevent the same option from being selected in different Drop Down fields.

This week, we fixed an issue where this would incorrectly enable options which had been disabled by GP Inventory due to exhausted inventory. We’re all about that suite compatibility!

Gravity Perks

• Fixed issue where Address Autocomplete would sometimes not initialize for forms in modals that have not yet loaded.
