The Gravity Forms Import Entries extension makes it simple to bulk import hundreds or thousands of entries in minutes. There are no limits on the number of rows you can import. If you have a spreadsheet to import, this is the best Gravity Forms import plugin.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Platform: WordPress (Version 5.0 or higher recommended).
Core Plugin: Requires Gravity Forms (Compatible with version 2.5 and higher).
Language: Built using PHP and JavaScript.
File Format: Primarily CSV (Comma Separated Values). While files from Excel (.xlsx), Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers are supported, they must be saved/exported as CSV before uploading for the most reliable results.
Encoding: UTF-8 is highly recommended to avoid character corruption.
| Feature | Capability |
| Import Capacity | Handles “thousands of entries” in a single batch with high-performance processing. |
| Field Mapping | Automated field detection with a manual drag-and-drop mapping interface. |
| Entry Updating | Can update existing entries if the CSV contains an Entry ID column. Note: This typically replaces the existing entry entirely. |
| Form Creation | Can automatically generate a new Gravity Form based on the headers and data in your CSV. |
| Conditional Logic | Supports conditional import rules (e.g., only import rows where “Status” = “Paid”). |
| Multi-File Handling | Supports importing files directly into Gravity Forms “File Upload” fields by fetching them from a source URL. |
The extension supports all core Gravity Forms field types, including:
Standard Fields: Text, Paragraph, Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, Dropdowns.
Advanced Fields: Name, Date, Time, Phone, Address, Website, Email, File Upload.
Pricing Fields: Product, Quantity, Option, Shipping, Total.
Post Fields: Post Title, Body, Excerpt, Tags, Category, Post Custom Field.
Certified Add-ons: Compatible with Signature, Coupon, Survey, Poll, and Quiz add-ons.
Process Feeds: Option to trigger existing Gravity Forms Feeds (like Mailchimp, Zapier, or User Registration) for every imported entry.
Validation Engine: Validates data against form rules (required fields, email format, etc.) before final import. You can choose to “Ignore Required Fields” for legacy data.
Error Logging: Generates a detailed report of failed rows and provides a “Rejected Records” CSV for quick correction and re-upload.
Email Notifications: Can be toggled to trigger standard Gravity Forms email notifications for each imported row.
Developer Hooks: Includes various filters and actions for developers to modify data “on the fly” during the import process.
Large File Handling: Optimized to prevent server timeouts by processing data in chunks.
Rollback/Protection: Because updating entries overwrites data, the plugin includes warnings before executing “Update” imports.
