Overview
This node integrates with the Gravity Forms REST API v2, specifically allowing users to create new form entries (submissions) programmatically. It is useful for automating data collection workflows where form submissions need to be created based on external triggers or data sources without manual input.
A practical example would be automatically submitting user data collected from another system into a Gravity Form, enabling seamless integration between platforms and reducing manual data entry.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form ID | The identifier of the Gravity Form to which the new entry (submission) belongs. |
| Submission JSON | The payload representing the form submission data, structured according to Gravity Forms' submission schema. This should be a valid JSON object containing the input values keyed by field IDs. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Gravity Forms API after creating the entry. This typically includes details about the newly created submission such as its ID, status, and submitted field values.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Gravity Forms REST API v2.
- Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node uses helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Gravity Forms API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid JSON provided for Submission JSON: If the submission JSON is malformed or not valid JSON, the node will throw an error indicating invalid JSON. Ensure the JSON is correctly formatted.
- Form ID must not be empty: The node requires a non-empty Form ID; leaving it blank will cause an error.
- Unsupported entry operation: Using an unsupported operation name will result in an error. Confirm that "create" is selected for the entry resource.
- API errors: Errors returned from the Gravity Forms API (e.g., authentication failures, permission issues, or validation errors) will propagate through the node. Verify API credentials and submission data correctness.
