GWW 269: Composer Support is Here

Greetings, travelers!

School’s almost out for the summer here in the States. My kids are AMPED. I’m excited too! Not just for all the fun summer adventures but also all the awesome products we’ll be rolling out in the next few months.

We expect GP Bookings Alpha 2 to arrive by the end of the month! Also, we’ve just broken ground on GP Submit to Access (a premium version of our popular free plugin) which will be locking your content down by the end of July.

And if that doesn’t excite you, wait till you see what’s already arrived.

Our Plugins: Available via Composer

You legendary Pro customers have been calling for Composer support for years—and we heard you. With Spellbook bringing our product APIs together, the timing was perfect. Composer support is here. Learn more about this powerful new way to tap into your magical Gravity Wiz arsenal.

Top Picks: Product Updates

• Gravity Perks: We’re eager to get everyone upgraded to Spellbook as soon as possible. To support this, we addressed an issue where Spellbook would not be re-activated network-wide during the migration process on multisite installs.
• File Upload Pro: We added support for HEIC files earlier this year. Now we’ve improved support for newer versions of HEIC/HEIF files, allowing you to preview and crop these files with reckless abandon!
• GS Product Configurator: GSPC looks so good with a little Page Transitions magic. This week, we fixed an issue that caused total mismatch validation errors when these two pals were used together.

Kickbox: The Real Magic Behind Successful Email Marketing

Our friends at Kickbox just did a great breakdown on why email verification is a critical component of successful forms. I don’t think I can summarize the value of this article better than they did themselves:

Typos, spam traps, and bad emails are hurting your deliverability—and your ROI. With Kickbox’s new Gravity Wiz integration, add real-time email verification to Gravity Forms in minutes. Clean your list at the source and keep emails landing in the inbox.

How To: Add People to Drip from Gravity Forms

Now that you’re collecting high-quality emails (see above), where are you sending them? Might I suggest Drip? It’s a powerful marketing automation platform we’ve trusted for years—in fact, this very newsletter lands in your inbox each week thanks to it.

Join Dani for a crash course on using Gravity Connect: Drip to get those deliciously verified emails flowing straight into your Drip account.

Populate Anything: Sort by Time Field

In addition to sharing a new snippet, I’ve got to give a shoutout to our support wizards. You know how most companies have a Level 1 help desk or tier 1 support? Ours starts at Level 99—and we ignore level caps.

So when this Pro customer asked how to populate Radio Buttons with time-based values (e.g. 9:00am, 10:00am, 11:00am), sorted by time, our team didn’t just point them in the right direction—they wrote a custom snippet on the spot.

Supporting our customers is one of our favorite things to do. And I’m kinda obsessed with our team for being so good at it.
