Detailed Overview

Moving form submissions between websites or systems can become complicated when hundreds or thousands of records are involved. Manually entering each submission is slow and error-prone, while direct database manipulation requires technical expertise and careful handling of Gravity Forms’ data structure.

GravityImport simplifies this process by turning CSV data into Gravity Forms entries through a guided WordPress admin workflow.

Import Existing Form Entries

Upload a CSV file containing your historical or externally sourced data and map each column to the corresponding Gravity Forms field. This makes GravityImport useful for website migrations, CRM-to-WordPress data transfers, legacy database imports, and other structured-data projects.

Map CSV Columns to Gravity Forms Fields

Instead of manually editing your database, use field mapping to determine where each column should go. This gives developers and administrators a visual way to align imported data with the destination form structure.

Update Rather Than Duplicate

When existing Gravity Forms entries need to be updated, GravityImport can use an Entry ID column to identify the relevant records. This is especially useful for data maintenance, bulk corrections, and synchronizing previously imported information.

Filter Imported Data

Conditional import rules provide greater control over the migration process. Rather than importing every row in a CSV file, you can configure conditions to determine which records should be processed.

Useful for WordPress Migrations

GravityImport can be particularly valuable when moving a website, consolidating data, rebuilding a WordPress installation, or migrating submissions from another form solution. CSV provides a flexible bridge between systems, while GravityImport handles the Gravity Forms side of the import workflow.

GravityImport vs. Other Import Methods

Choosing the right import solution depends on your workflow. GravityImport is particularly focused on bringing CSV-based data into Gravity Forms, making it a strong fit when your destination is an existing Gravity Forms installation.
