Description
What This Add-On Does
The Gravity Forms Google Docs Add-On takes whatever information your forms collect and pushes it straight into Google Docs, without you copying and pasting a single field. Every submission — a lead form, a registration, an intake questionnaire — can generate or update a document automatically. If your team relies on Google Docs for contracts, reports, or client records, this add-on closes the gap between “someone filled out a form” and “the paperwork exists.”
It’s built on top of Gravity Forms, so you still get the visual form editor, conditional logic, file uploads, and payment fields you’d normally use. This add-on just adds a new destination for that data: your Google Docs account.
Key Features
- Automatic document creation from form submissions, using field values to populate content
- Works alongside conditional logic, so documents only generate when the right conditions are met
- Supports file upload fields, letting users attach documents or images as part of the same workflow
- Compatible with Gravity Forms’ payment fields, useful for order confirmations or receipts that need a document trail
- Fits into existing forms — no need to rebuild anything you’ve already created
Why It’s Useful
Manually turning form data into documents is tedious and error-prone. Someone has to open the submission, copy the details, paste them into a template, and hope nothing gets missed. This add-on removes that step. Submissions become documents on their own, formatted the way you set them up to be, ready for review or sharing.
Because Gravity Forms and its add-ons are distributed under the GPL, you’re free to modify, adapt, and extend the code to fit your site’s specific needs. That kind of flexibility matters if your workflow has quirks a standard setup won’t cover.
Requirements
- Gravity Forms plugin (required as the base plugin for this add-on to function)
- WordPress version 6.5 or higher
- PHP version 7.4 or higher
Current add-on version: 0.1.1-alpha.1.
FAQ
Does this add-on create a new Google Doc for every submission, or can it update an existing one?
The add-on is designed around generating documents from submission data. Depending on how you configure your form and mapping, you can set it up to produce a new document each time a form is submitted, keeping a clear record tied to each entry.
Will this work with forms that already use conditional logic and file uploads?
Yes. Since this add-on runs on top of standard Gravity Forms functionality, your existing conditional logic rules and file upload fields continue to work as expected. The add-on simply adds Google Docs as an additional action once your form’s normal rules and validations are satisfied.
