What is GravityImport?

GravityImport – Import CSV Data into Gravity Forms

GravityImport is a dedicated add-on for Gravity Forms that simplifies importing structured data from CSV files into WordPress. It provides a guided workflow for uploading data, mapping spreadsheet columns to form fields, reviewing import settings, and transferring records into Gravity Forms without manually recreating every submission.

Whether you're migrating a website, transferring legacy records, importing customer information, or maintaining existing form entries, GravityImport helps make data migration more organized and efficient. Its CSV-based workflow can reduce repetitive work and minimize the need for custom database scripts.

With features such as field mapping, conditional imports, existing-entry updates, and support for Gravity Forms field structures, GravityImport is designed to help developers, agencies, and website administrators manage form data more conveniently.

Detailed Overview of GravityImport

Import CSV Data into Gravity Forms

Transferring historical form submissions manually can be time-consuming, especially when working with hundreds or thousands of records. GravityImport streamlines this process by allowing you to upload CSV files and import their contents into Gravity Forms through a guided workflow.

This can be useful when migrating websites, transferring records from external systems, consolidating information, or bringing legacy data into a new WordPress installation.

Map CSV Columns to Form Fields

CSV files and Gravity Forms forms may use different field names or data structures. Field mapping helps you match each column in the source file with its corresponding destination field.

By reviewing the mapping before starting an import, you can improve data organization and reduce the risk of placing information in the wrong fields.

Update Existing Entries

Some data migration projects require modifying existing records rather than creating new submissions. GravityImport supports updating existing entries using Entry IDs, helping you identify the intended records when the necessary identifiers are included in your CSV file.

This functionality can be useful for bulk corrections, record maintenance, and updating previously imported information. Always verify the entry identifiers and test the process before updating production data.

Apply Conditional Import Rules

Not every row in a CSV file needs to be imported. Conditional import functionality helps you control which records are processed according to the available rules and configuration options.

This can make it easier to separate relevant records from unwanted data and organize large import jobs around specific requirements.

Create Form Structures from CSV Data

When starting a new form-based project, creating the form structure manually may add extra work. GravityImport's stated form-generation capability can help create a Gravity Forms structure based on CSV column information where supported.

Review the generated form and confirm that its field types, labels, and data mappings meet your requirements before importing important records.

Support WordPress Data Migration Projects

GravityImport can be useful for developers and site administrators handling tasks such as:

• Moving historical submissions to a new WordPress website.

• Importing customer or registration records from CSV files.

• Transferring structured data from external systems.

• Updating existing Gravity Forms entries in bulk.

• Consolidating records from multiple sources.

• Reducing repetitive work during form data migration.

Compatibility and available functionality should be verified against your installed Gravity Forms and GravityImport versions.
