FTP Extension for Entry Automation lets you automatically upload your generated export files to your FTP or SFTP server.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Core Functionality
The extension works as a “bridge” for the main Entry Automation plugin. When a task is triggered (e.g., a new form is submitted or a weekly schedule is met), the extension:
-
Generates the File: Creates an export in your chosen format (CSV, Excel, JSON, or PDF).
-
Connects Remotely: Opens a secure connection to your specified FTP/SFTP server.
-
Uploads Automatically: Transfers the file to a specific directory of your choosing.
Key Features
-
Secure Transfers: Supports both standard FTP and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) for encrypted data handling.
-
Scheduled Exports: You can set tasks to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly—perfect for automated backups or syncing with external databases.
-
Conditional Logic: You can use Gravity Forms’ logic to only upload specific entries (e.g., “only upload entries where ‘Payment Status’ is ‘Paid'”).
-
Custom File Paths: Define exactly where on the remote server the files should land, using Merge Tags to create dynamic folder names (like
/exports/{form_title}/{date_mdy}/). -
Task Chaining: You can configure a workflow where a file is exported, uploaded to FTP, and then the entry is automatically deleted from your WordPress database to maintain GDPR compliance or save server space.
