📞 Google Meet support for GP Bookings
🤖 New models for GC OpenAI
👨‍💻 reCAPTCHA bypass for GF Dev Tools
🍾 5 ways to make your forms POP

Is it too much? Nahhh! It’s never enough (never, never).

New Free Plugin: GF Autogrow

There’s a new plugin growing in your garden of spells. 🪴

Gravity Forms Autogrow automatically expands your Paragraph Text fields as users type, up to a maximum height you control. It even works with Rich Text Editors!

It really helps to see this one in action.

The premise? Let your Paragraph Text fields start small and grow as they need to. It gives your wordy users room to breathe without dominating the form on display.

We’ve been using a version of this feature on several of our internal forms for years. Now it’s time for us to share some of our dogfood with you. It really is delicious!

Top Picks: Product Updates

GP Bookings
✦ Turn Gravity Forms into your complete WordPress booking platform.

You can now auto-generate Google Meet links (Zoom coming soon) for your bookings! The Event Title can also be customized and, if you’re feeling frisky, the Event Description setting can be enabled via filter.

GC OpenAI
✦ Enhance your forms with the magic of AI — text, images, audio, and more!

Ready to strut your stuff? We’ve added support for gpt-5.5, gpt-5.5-pro, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-pro, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano, and gpt-5.3-chat-latest models. If you’re hungry to do more with AI, our docs are packed with real-world examples.

GF Dev Tools
✦ Everything you need to test and debug Gravity Forms in one toolkit.

Ever submitted a form multiple times back to back, troubleshooting an issue or ensuring a notification is coming through, only to find that your submissions start getting blocked as spam? That happened to one of our customers this week with reCAPTCHA v3.

You can now use GFDT’s Unrequire feature to bypass Gravity Forms’ reCAPTCHA v3/Enterprise validation. Just one more way GF Dev Tools saves you time (and some amount of hair). 👨‍🦰

5 Ways to Make Your Gravity Forms Pop (Up)

GP Popups continues to delight Gravity Wiz customers! Not only is it so easy to use, it packs quite a punch when it comes to functionality too.

One of the most popular features has been the myriad of ways that Popups can… forgive me …pop up. We wrote a whole article with some really tasty visuals all about it so you can see for yourself.

✦ Sorcerous Snippets

We add new snippets to our Snippet Library every week — ready-made solutions that often beat prompting AI, or give you a solid head start on your next vibe-coded build.

—

GC Google Calendar | Conditional Event Color — Automatically color code Google Calendar events based on form field values (e.g., “urgent” → red, “pending” → yellow) and give your team at-a-glance visual triage of new events.

GP Limit Submissions | Exclude Entries from Count by Meta or Field Value — Exclude entries from a Limit Submissions feed’s count when a specific meta or field value matches, so cancelled or refunded entries no longer eat into your submission cap.

GP Advanced Calculations | Calculation Logic on Text Field — Map a calculation’s numeric result to text labels in a Text field (e.g., 1 → “Tiny”, 3 → “Big”) and display human-friendly categories instead of raw numbers.
