Gravity Flow transforms your Gravity Forms into a powerful, automated business process management system. If you are tired of manually chasing down approvals, tracking document status via email, or losing track of customer requests, this plugin provides the structure you need to streamline your operations. By turning static form submissions into dynamic, multi-step workflows, Gravity Flow empowers teams to automate repetitive tasks, ensure compliance, and deliver faster service without writing a single line of code.
Key Features
- Automated Workflows: Create complex, multi-step business processes that trigger automatically the moment a form is submitted.
- Approval Routing: Implement single or multi-level approval processes where stakeholders can approve, reject, or request changes to submissions with a single click.
- Step-by-Step Logic: Use conditional logic to determine the path of a workflow based on the data provided in the form, ensuring the right people see the right information at the right time.
- User Input Steps: Allow users or team members to update, edit, or add information to a submission at specific stages of the workflow.
- Task Scheduling: Delay workflow steps by a specific timeframe or schedule them for a future date, perfect for follow-ups, reminders, or phased project management.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Monitor the status of every active process through a centralized dashboard to identify bottlenecks and track progress in real-time.
- Seamless Integration: Works natively with your existing Gravity Forms setup and extends functionality with a wide library of extensions for third-party services.
- Audit Trails: Maintain a complete history of every action taken on a submission, providing transparency and accountability for every step of the process.
Use Cases / Who It’s For
Gravity Flow is designed for business owners, project managers, and operations teams who rely on Gravity Forms but need more than just a simple data collection tool. It is ideal for any organization that handles repetitive, process-driven tasks that currently rely on manual email threads or spreadsheets.
For example, HR departments use Gravity Flow to automate employee onboarding, ensuring all necessary documentation is collected and approved by the correct managers. Marketing teams use it to manage content approval workflows, while service-based businesses utilize it to automate client intake, project scoping, and final invoice approvals. Whether you are managing vacation requests, purchase orders, or complex customer support escalations, Gravity Flow provides the infrastructure to turn your website into a functional business engine.
Setup / How It Works
Getting started with Gravity Flow is designed to be intuitive for anyone already familiar with the Gravity Forms interface. The process follows a logical flow:
- Create Your Form: Build your initial data collection form using the standard Gravity Forms editor.
- Configure the Workflow: Navigate to the Gravity Flow settings for that form and add your first workflow step, such as an “Approval” or “Notification” step.
- Define the Steps: Add as many steps as needed—such as user input, approval, or email notifications—and arrange them in the order your business process requires.
- Apply Conditional Logic: Use the settings within each step to define exactly when that step should trigger based on the user’s form input.
- Activate and Monitor: Once saved, the workflow will begin processing submissions automatically. You can view the status of every entry in the workflow dashboard to ensure everything is moving forward as expected.
