GWW 272: Nimble Wins

Greetings, wizards!

One of the things we take a lot of pride in at Gravity Wiz is our ability to react quickly to customer feedback and implement new features on the fly. Sometimes those arrive directly in a core product, other times they land as exploratory snippets.

I had the pleasure of reliving some of those nimble wins with the team at this week’s internal Q3 presentation. I thought I might share a handful of them with you too.

• GP Multi-page Navigation: Completed Pages Only
• GP Easy Passthrough: File Upload Support
• GP Nested Forms: Field-based Sorting
• GP QR Code: Camera Zoom
• Feed Forge: Abort Queue
• Conditional Logic Operator: Does Not Contain

And you know what’s really cool? This newsletter already contains a nimble win or two for Q3. Let’s explore!

Top Picks: Product Updates

Spellbook: We’ve optimized our API to both reduce the number of requests and the size of the payload. Spellbook will feel even more magical now.

GP Bookings: So many improvements this week! Better handling for timezones in Availability Windows and the Booking Time field. Better syncing for ICS calendars. And we added “1 hour” and “2 hours” increments to flexible interval choices for the Booking Time field.

GC Notion: You can now map List fields to Notion page content as Todo, Bulleted or Numbered lists. I love how our devs solved this interesting problem!

GF Feed Forge: Ever wanted to process a feed manually in bulk? We had a clever customer with that exact idea this week. They wanted to create a feed, set it as inactive so it wasn’t processed on submission, and then use Feed Forge to process a week’s worth of submissions manually at the end of the week. Only problem? Feed Forge only shows active feeds by default. Use the new  gfff_include_inactive_feeds filter to show inactive feeds too!

How To: Block or Allow Specific Email Domains

GP Email Validator doesn’t just let you validate that an email is “real” — it lets you block or allow specific email domains as well. This is useful if you’re only allowing submissions for partners or internal use or want to allow some free email domains but block others. Come learn how easy this is to get set up.

Fresh: Magical Mentions

A few newsworthy tidbits from the community at large:

Customize Email Notification Templates in Gravity Forms — Join Matt Medeiros as he demos the nifty Email Customizer plugin. Fun fact: Email Customizer works for our GP Email Users notifications too!

Core Booster 2.4: Show The Row ID For Nested Forms — Gravity PDF’s Core Booster add-on now supports showing the Nested Forms’ Row ID directly in generated PDFs. Real nice!

Gravity Forms 3.1: Legacy Markup EOL — Support for Legacy markup will be removed in Gravity Forms 3.1. It’s a long ways off but these are those kinds of changes that you don’t want to sneak up on you. Fortunately, most customers will not be impacted if you’ve been staying up to date all along.

Spotlight: How We Use Gravity Perks to Power our Support Form

If you know us, you know that supporting our customers is important to us. You could even say our support is… legendary.

But what’s the most effective way to streamline such a support workflow when you have over 60 products, each of these has different use cases, and to top it off, they can all be combined for further complexity?

This is the challenge we tackled head-on using Gravity Perks. In this week’s spotlight, we show you how we did it.

New Plugin: Product Form Column for GS Product Configurator

We had a Pro wizard reach out this week who needed to audit his WooCommerce products to see the products that had a form attached via GS Product Configurator and if so, which form.

We whipped up this tight little snippet-plugin that not only handles the basic requirement but adds a few little bells and whistles too, like linking to the form, showing the form ID, and allowing you to sort by the column to quickly find all products without a form attached.

Give this a try and let us know if we should add this to core.
