Gravity Forms Approvals Add-On

बिबरन

Gravity Forms Approvals is an add-on for the Gravity Forms plugin.

Gravity Forms Approvals adds simple approval processes to forms. This allows forms to be approved by an administrator upon submission. Approvals can be governed by conditional logic/routing to allow for a wide range of different workflow automations, such as:

  • Vacation request forms for employees to complete company-wide. Form submissions must be approved or rejected by the employee’s department director. Pending approvals must be displayed in a personalized list for each director. The data from approved forms will be sent to a Google Spreadsheet.
  • A system to handle the approval by the appropriate departmental director of all incoming invoices. e.g. Invoices over $9,999 must also have the approval of the Finance Director before the pricing data is sent to the ERP system.
  • Allowing user registration on the front-end but ensuring that WordPress account signups can be approved by multiple admins before they are created and before the activation emails are sent to the users.

FEATURES

  • Add new Approval functionality to your existing Gravity Forms forms.
  • Use a simple approval process for Gravity Forms entries or configure complex conditional logic approvals dependent on individual form fields, drop-downs, checkboxes, radio buttons, and more.
  • Send different notifications on approval or rejection events using conditional logic.
  • Compatibility with a wide range of Gravity Forms add-ons.

Such a simple feature but I haven’t been able to find another option other than this that is free. Great work on the plugin. Still working as of April 20, 2023.

This plugin is nothing more than an ad for Gravity Flow. It’s extremely limited and recognizes this in its own description where it states, “If this add-on doesn’t quite meet your needs, or if you’d like an add-on that will grow with your business workflow processes you may want to check out Gravity Flow.” I’ve used many free apps that are powerful and useful, but this app isn’t one of them. There’s no good will here. Here you’ll only find marketing.

Bizarrely lacking in most forms, we’re lucky to have this option.

This plugin does everything you need if you are wanting something lighter-weight than a premium solution such as Gravity Flow. Gravity Forms Approvals made it easy to implement a simple approval and denial flow for our client. I love that the plugin is open-source too!
