This tutorial will demonstrate how to show/hide fields via Gravity Forms’ conditional logic based on the current time. This functionality can be used anywhere conditional logic is available and is made available by the GP Conditional Logic Dates plugin.
Here are just a few examples of how this could be useful:
- Time-sensitive Submissions
Allow a Gravity Form to only be submitted during a certain time of day. - Time-dependent Confirmations & Notifications
Display different confirmation messages or send specific notifications depending on the time of day the form is submitted. - Time-responsive Fields
Show or hide fields on your form depending on the time of day.

Hi,
Does it work for time frames? For example for 9-5 to enable one condition and >5 and <9 to enable a different one.
Cheers
Hi Alex, yup, here’s an example of showing a field between 9am and 5pm (https://gwiz.io/2NRCVQe) and here’s an example of showing a field before and after hours (https://gwiz.io/2OjXuDS).
I tried installing this plugin Gravity Forms 2.3.2 and WordPress 4.9.6 but it doesn’t work.
Oh never mind I figured this out. I didn’t “activate” the perk.
Happy to hear you were able to get this working. :)
Can this be used to send the form to different people based on time of day? For instance? – Between 9-5 form is emailed to Bob. – After 5 and before 9, email is sent to Sally.
Would this work?
How to to a age check for example 18 years and older?
Our best solution is the GP Date Time Calculator plugin that is available as an early access perk with our Gravity Perks plugin suite. It provides an “:age” merge tag so you can just put it in your formula like so:
{Date of Birth:2:age}. If you’d like to try it out pick up a copy of Gravity Perks and drop us a line via support.Essentially trying to get a field to display on a weekday BEFORE and AFTER business hours and not during normal business hours. I’ve successfully gotten my {monday}-{friday} types of tags working from your conditional date plugin. I’m just running into a roadblock trying to get this logic to work out someway.
Here’s What I have for the field I’m trying to hide or display:
[Show] this field if [All] of the following match: Current Time is [Less Than] 07:00am Current Time is [Greater Than] 04:00pm Today [isnot] {Saturday} Today [isnot] {Saturday}
Any help on how to get this done would be much appreciated!
I am using “Beta version” of GP Conditional Logic Dates but i did not get “current time” option in that. Also its not working with week names like i want to open my salon from Monday to Friday so don’t want to book any entry for Saturday and Sunday
