Gravity Flow – Checklists Extension

The Gravity Flow Checklists Extension transforms your automated workflows into structured, step-by-step processes, ensuring that no critical task is ever overlooked. Designed for teams that rely on Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow to manage complex business operations, this extension adds a powerful interactive checklist interface to your entry details. By breaking down large workflows into manageable, verified actions, you can improve accountability, maintain high standards of quality control, and provide your team with clear guidance as they move entries through your business processes.

Key Features

• Interactive Checklist Interface: Display a dynamic, actionable checklist directly within the Gravity Flow entry details page, allowing users to track progress in real-time.
• Conditional Logic Integration: Show or hide specific checklist items based on the data submitted in the form, ensuring that team members only see tasks relevant to the specific entry.
• Progress Tracking: Provide immediate visual feedback on how much of the workflow process has been completed, helping managers quickly identify bottlenecks.
• Step-by-Step Validation: Require users to check off specific items before they can transition an entry to the next step in the workflow, preventing premature processing.
• Seamless Gravity Flow Integration: Built specifically for the Gravity Flow ecosystem, ensuring a native experience that feels like a natural part of your existing automation setup.
• Customizable Task Lists: Easily define your own checklist items for each step of your workflow, allowing you to tailor the extension to your unique operational requirements.

Use Cases / Who It’s For

This extension is an essential tool for any organization that uses Gravity Flow to manage multi-stage processes where consistency is paramount. It is particularly valuable for project managers, operations leads, and business owners who need to ensure that standard operating procedures (SOPs) are followed every single time.

For example, in a client onboarding process, the checklist can ensure that team members have verified the contract, set up the project management board, and sent the welcome email before marking the onboarding step as complete. In manufacturing or quality assurance environments, it acts as a digital safety net, requiring technicians to confirm that specific inspections or safety protocols have been performed before an entry can proceed to the shipping or approval phase. Whether you are managing complex HR hiring workflows, technical support tickets, or creative project approvals, the Checklists Extension provides the oversight necessary to maintain operational excellence.

Setup / How It Works

Getting started with the Gravity Flow Checklists Extension is designed to be straightforward for anyone already familiar with the Gravity Flow interface.

1. Install and Activate: Ensure you have the core Gravity Flow plugin installed, then install and activate the Checklists Extension.
2. Configure Workflow Steps: Navigate to your form’s workflow settings. Within the specific step where you want to implement a checklist, you will find new settings to define your tasks.
3. Define Checklist Items: Add your desired checklist items. You can label each task clearly and utilize conditional logic to determine exactly when a task should appear for the user.
4. Set Completion Requirements: Choose whether the checklist items are optional or mandatory. If mandatory, the system will prevent the workflow step from being marked as complete until all required boxes are checked.
5. Monitor Progress: Once active, your team members will see the interactive checklist when they view an entry, allowing them to collaborate and track the status of the workflow efficiently.

Similar Plugins

While various task management plugins exist for WordPress, the Gravity Flow Checklists Extension is unique in its direct integration with Gravity Flow workflow steps. Other workflow-centric tools like GravityView or general project management plugins like WP Project Manager may offer task tracking, but they do not provide the native, step-specific workflow validation that this extension offers for Gravity Flow users.
