Overview
Some processes need more than one form. An application may need several evaluations, or an order may need a later review. Linking those entries by hand takes time and invites mistakes. This extension handles the link for you: one form acts as the parent, and a child form collects the related submissions that follow it.
Because the entries stay connected, you can see a parent and its child entries together in one place. You can decide how and when child forms are linked to match your own rules, and follow the status of related submissions as they move through the workflow. It extends Gravity Flow, so it suits sites that already run their approvals and multi-step processes there.
Features
- Parent and child form linking: Designate one form as the parent and connect follow-up submissions through a child form, so initial entries and their related entries have a clear relationship.
- Related entries in one place: View parent and child entries together instead of searching across separate forms, which makes it easier to see the full picture of a submission.
- Support for multi-step processes: Suits workflows such as applications with evaluations or orders with reviews, and other cases where a submission needs related follow-ups.
- Automated workflow continuation: When a parent form is submitted, child form submissions or follow-up tasks can be triggered automatically so the process keeps moving.
- Programmatic linking: Forms are linked by the extension rather than by hand, which reduces manual errors and keeps related data correctly associated and easy to find.
- Flexible link configuration: Customize how and when child forms are linked to fit your own business rules and workflow requirements.
- Status and progress tracking: Follow the status of related submissions as they progress, which helps you spot where a workflow slows down.
- Built for Gravity Flow: Designed to extend Gravity Flow with Gravity Forms, adding linked entries to your workflows without complicating how people use them.
Best for
- Sites running application and evaluation workflows in Gravity Flow
- Teams tracking orders with later reviews or feedback forms
- Gravity Forms users who need related entries kept together
