GWW 280: GP Bookings Alpha 3
We’ve got big things brewing! GP Bookings Alpha 3 is here — plus, a new spotlight on Entry Blocks and a mothership tutorial on Submit to Access. 😉
Greetings, adventurers!
Two exciting staffing changes this week. 😃
First, our legendary support wizard, Sebastian, has been secretly honing his dev chops on the Gravity Wiz stack and he’s joined our Product team as a Support Developer. Your escalated support experience just got even better. 🧙♂️
Second, we’ve added a new content writer to our Marketing team. We’ll do an official introduction soon but this seasoned Gravity Forms vet will surely hit the ground running casting. More magical content incoming! ✨
GP Bookings: Alpha 3
Steadily we march on towards the mythic Beta 1. And Alpha 3 may very well be the last milestone along this incredible journey.
We’ve made a gazillion improvements but the real highlight of this new version is the refactored pricing rules. 💸
They’re simpler. More flexible. And, frankly, more functional. You’ll also love the updates we made to the Pricing Breakdown—the easiest way to fact check your pricing rules for any booking.
Join me for a redux demo of this reimagined feature in action.
Spotlight: Updating Custom Post Types with Entry Blocks
From WooCommerce to GP Bookings, custom post types quietly run the show behind many WordPress solutions. They’re flexible, fast to set up, and perfect for building internal workflows. Add Gravity Forms on top and frontend record creation is taken care of.
Updating those records, however, is where things usually get tricky. Pioneer Signings discovered a way around that — with a one perk setup that lets their team edit CPTs right from the frontend.
Mothership: Submit to Access Video Tutorial
It’s always flattering when one of our products receives coverage from the mothership. 😊
This week, Matt from Gravity Forms shares a solid walkthrough of how easy it is to gate your content using Gravity Forms and Submit to Access.
Did you catch last week’s mothership coverage of our free OpenAI plugin?
How To: Use MailPoet Tags for Wizard-level Automations
Did you know you can automatically add or remove MailPoet tags the moment someone fills out a Gravity Form? With GC MailPoet, it’s easy to keep your subscribers neatly sorted, spark the right automations, and even weave in a bit of conditional logic—all from the comfort of WordPress. Whether you’re guiding new signups, nudging an upsell, or just keeping lists tidy, this little spell can make it feel effortless.
New Snippet: Only Show Inventory for Logged-in Users
GP Inventory gives you easy, flexible inventory management for Gravity Forms. As part of that CVP, it offers the ability to display the amount of inventory available, encouraging users to snag the last bit of your stock.
In some cases though, you may want to keep the available inventory private and only reveal those numbers to logged-in users. And this week’s snippet highlight does exactly that.
