- Form Actions
- Entry Actions
- Tool Action Actions
Overview
The node integrates with the Gravity Forms REST API v2, enabling users to interact with forms and entries programmatically. Specifically, the "Tool Action" resource with the "Submit Entry" operation allows submitting form entries by sending JSON data representing a form submission. This is useful for automating form submissions, integrating Gravity Forms with other systems, or programmatically creating entries without manual user input.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically submitting customer feedback collected from another system into a Gravity Form.
- Creating entries in Gravity Forms based on data processed or generated elsewhere in an automation workflow.
- Bulk submitting multiple entries by looping over datasets and using this node to send each as a form submission.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form ID | The unique identifier of the Gravity Form where the entry will be submitted. |
| Submission JSON | The JSON object representing the form submission data. This must be valid JSON matching the form's expected fields. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Gravity Forms API after submitting the entry. This typically includes details about the newly created submission such as its ID and any metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Gravity Forms REST API v2.
- The node depends on the Gravity Forms REST API being accessible and properly configured.
- Network connectivity to the Gravity Forms API endpoint is necessary.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid JSON provided for Submission JSON: If the JSON string is malformed or empty, the node throws an error indicating invalid JSON. Ensure the JSON is correctly formatted and not empty.
- Empty Form ID: The node requires a non-empty Form ID; providing an empty string will cause an error.
- Unsupported Operation or Resource: Using operations or resources outside those supported by the node will result in errors.
- API Request Failures: Errors from the Gravity Forms API (e.g., authentication failure, form not found) will propagate as node errors. Verify API credentials and that the Form ID exists.
- Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
