Gravity Wiz Weekly 224

Greetings, wizards! 

This newsletter contains our first Question of the Week in quite some time. And the question is so important we’re giving away five packs of our new Gravity Perks playing cards!

But first, let me tell you about some of our adventures this week. 🐉 

Highlights of the Week

Entry Blocks: Usability Enhancements

The easiest, most flexible way to display and edit Gravity Forms entries on the frontend. Fully customizable layouts powered by WordPress’ very own Block Editor.

Fast on the heels of our epic Beta 1 release, Beta 1.1 introduces a number of significant quality of life improvements. Here are my favorites!

1. When opening the Entry Query modal, a blank filter is automatically added if no filters already exist. This removes that last shred of friction in filtering which entries are available in your Entry Blocks.
   
2. In some cases, your configured filters may mean the editing user may not have any entries that would be displayed for them (e.g. filtering by entries submitted by the current user). We’ve updated the Entries Loop to ensure that it is still editable in this scenario.

Expect lots of more polish for this exciting perk as we continue pushing to a 1.0 release. 🙌

Nested Forms + Easy Passthrough

A Gravity Forms repeater for simple or complex forms. Create forms within forms for better management of complex data collection. Formception!

We’re seeing more and more customers using Easy Passthrough to pass through data on forms that contain Nested Form fields. Based on this consistent demand, we’ve refactored how these two perks work together for a much more polished solution.

Go forth and pass your child entries from one form to another with confidence!

Google Sheets: Complex Spreadsheets

Automatically send and sync Gravity Forms data with Google Sheets — and unlock new possibilities for your data.

If you have very complex formatting in your spreadsheets, you may have experienced some issues interacting with those spreadsheets via GP Google Sheets. 

No more! We’ve optimized how the spreadsheet data is fetched and you’ll find it is incredibly more performant, even for beefiest spreadsheets.

Question of the Week
What do you want in a Notion Integration?

Want to influence the future of this upcoming product? How about a chance to win a pack of our brand new Gravity Perks playing cards? 

We’re hard at work on our third (and final?) product suite: Gravity Connect. I’ll do a proper introduction on Gravity Connect later but here’s what you need to know now.

1. We’ll be launching this new suite with three baller integration plugins. 
2. One of those plugins will be Gravity Connect Notion – a tight integration between Gravity Forms and Notion, the powerful and infinitely flexible workspace platform.

We have lots of big plans for this plugin but we’re very eager to hear from you. 

What are your must-have features for this plugin? How about your nice-to-haves? Tell me all your hopes and dreams. 🙏

Provide your feedback and we’ll pick five (5) winners to be announced in our next Weekly!

New Resources

Add WooCommerce Order Meta to Entries on Export

If you’re not using GS Product Configurator to create fully configurable WooCommerce products powered by Gravity Forms, ya really ought to be.

This week we wrote a beefy snippet that will add any specified WooCommerce order meta to your Gravity Forms entries on export.

Duplicate Child Entries via Gravity Flow Form Connector

Gravity Flow’s Form Connector add-on is a powerful way to create, update, or delete entries as part of your workflows. This week, we added support for duplicating child entries when a new entry is created that contains a Nested Form field.

Process Feeds on Edit (via Easy Passthrough)

Our Edit Entries with Easy Passthrough snippet is a super easy way to let users edit their own entries with minimal setup. Even better, you can email them a link with a token so they can come back in the future to make changes. This week, we added a new parameter process_feeds which can be enabled to process any attached feeds when an entry is edited via this mechanism.
