GWW 263: Snippets of Revelation

Greetings, wizards!

Gravity Forms graciously hosts a quarterly online meetup for Certified Developers. We just had Q2’s pow wow yesterday and I have to say, what an inspiring group of companies this ecosystem has fostered.

The willingness to openly share insights, strategies, and even challenges is rare in business—yet it’s the norm here. As we all navigate an AI-driven future, it’s exciting to see how this community isn’t just keeping up, we’re forging new paths through uncharted territory.

Top Picks: Product Highlights

Another quadfecta this week!

That’s right — we’ve got at least one update for each suite: Gravity Perks, Gravity Connect, and Gravity Shop, plus a fresh update for one of our free plugins. We’re getting good at this.

As always, I’ve picked the three updates I’m most excited about — and this week, they all happen to come from Gravity Perks.

---

GP QR Code: We added support for camera zoom when scanning a QR code with our in-form QR scanner. This makes it a bit easier to capture those faraway QR codes.

Note: This feature is enabled by filter.

---

GP Entry Blocks: The Filters block (which lets your users filter entries directly on the frontend) can now be configured to allow filtering by Created By and Created Date. As an added bonus, Created By will filter entry creators by username, email, or display name.

---

GP Advanced Calculations: This one is actually from last week but I had to share. You can now use the “Tab” key to add indents in your formulas. Press the “Escape” key to unfocus the formula editor and enable tabbing to other field settings.

I must be getting older because quality-of-life improvements are absolutely my favorite improvements these days.

Be sure to at least skim the rest of the changelog. It’s always a treasure trove of shiny details.

Spotlight: Simple Event Communication with GP Email Users

We love to shine our spotlight on the creations of our customers. Recently, Dani — our own content conjurer — asked me, “Hey… why don’t we ever cast the spotlight on ourselves?” Great question, Dani. In honor of Gravity Wiz becoming a teenager last week, we’re flipping the wand around and showing off how we use our own magic — specifically, the GP Email Users spell. It’s a simple, but incredibly useful tool that that has become helpful in ways we did not imagine for it. Case in point below!

How To: Subscribe Users to MailPoet with Gravity Forms

You’re quite attached to WordPress’ best form builder (Gravity Forms, obviously) and you’ve fallen in love with WordPress’ best email marketing plugin (MailPoet, right?).

There’s literally only one thing that could make either better… and that’s using them together. And the first step of that remarkably easy journey is subscribing users to MailPoet after they’ve submitted a form.

Snippet of Revelation: Show Unselected Choices

Many of our job application forms include a Checkbox field listing job responsibilities (e.g., communicating with customers, working with WordPress, learning through documentation, etc.). Applicants are asked to check the responsibilities they’re comfortable fulfilling.

When reviewing applications, Gravity Forms makes it easy to see which responsibilities applicants are comfortable with. However, I often forget the full list of options, making it harder to assess what they’re not comfortable with.

This snippet solves the problem by displaying both selected and unselected choices, with a clear visual indicator for each.

Sure, our ideal candidates will check all the boxes (except that one). However, not all unchecked responsibilities are deal breakers, and discussing discomforts often leads to more meaningful interviews.

How would you use this functionality?
