The Gravity Forms Slack Add-On is an official integration designed to bridge the gap between your WordPress form submissions and your team’s communication hub. It’s primarily used to automate internal notifications, ensuring your team sees leads or support tickets the moment they arrive.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Real-Time Notifications: Automatically post form submission data to a Slack channel, private group, or as a direct message (DM) to a specific user.
Custom Message Mapping: Use Merge Tags to pull specific field data (like Name, Email, or Message) directly into the Slack notification.
Conditional Logic: Only send messages if certain criteria are met (e.g., “Only notify the #sales channel if the ‘Interest’ field is set to ‘Enterprise'”).
Image Attachments: If a user uploads an image via the form, the add-on can automatically attach that image to the Slack message for quick viewing.
Multiple Feeds: You can set up multiple “feeds” per form. For example, one feed could alert the #support channel for all entries, while another sends a DM to a manager for high-priority entries.
To run the Slack Add-On in 2026, your environment should meet the following standards:
| Requirement | Specification |
| WordPress Version | Latest stable version (or one version prior) |
| PHP Version | PHP 7.4 or higher (8.2+ recommended) |
| MySQL Version | MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.5+ |
| Gravity Forms Core | v2.5 or higher (required for the modern UI/API) |
| License Level | Pro, Elite, or Nonprofit licenses |
| PHP Extensions | cURL, openssl, dom, and ctype must be enabled |
Authentication: You connect the plugin to your Slack Workspace via a secure OAuth handshake in the Gravity Forms settings.
Feed Creation: Under the specific form’s settings, you create a “Slack Feed.”
Mapping: You choose the destination (Channel/User) and type out the message template using the visual editor.
Privacy: For Private Channels, you must manually invite the “Gravity Forms App” to that channel within Slack by typing /invite @Gravity Forms.
