Gravityview Importer

GravityView Importer (GravityImport) is a high-performance data ingestion extension developed by GravityKit for the Gravity Forms ecosystem. Built specifically for site owners, developers, and data managers, it transforms external CSV datasets and legacy spreadsheet archives into structured, native Gravity Forms submissions in minutes. The plugin features an intuitive, step-by-step visual mapping interface that allows users to align incoming CSV columns to standard, advanced, or pricing form fields—or dynamically construct brand-new forms on the fly based on the spreadsheet's header structure. Equipped with background batch processing, file upload fetching, duplicate entry updating via unique Entry IDs, and automated field validation controls, GravityImport streamlines large-scale data migration without requiring custom PHP code or manual database entry.

Main Features

• Intuitive CSV-to-Form column mapping — Visually align external spreadsheet headers directly with standard, advanced, pricing, or custom fields in Gravity Forms.
• Automatic form generation — Generate brand-new Gravity Forms automatically based on the data columns and field types of an uploaded CSV file.
• Bulk dataset batch processing — High-performance asynchronous chunking handles thousands of rows smoothly without triggering server memory limits or PHP execution timeouts.
• Update existing entries — Match unique Entry IDs in your CSV to update or overwrite existing form records in bulk rather than generating duplicate submissions.
• Comprehensive field type support — Full compatibility with Gravity Forms core fields, multi-selects, checkboxes, dates, user IDs, and entry metadata.
• File upload migration — Automatically fetches external media files from URLs in your CSV and re-uploads them into the Gravity Forms media storage framework.
• Conditional import filtering — Apply precise logical rules to filter and import only the specific CSV rows that meet your set criteria.
• Automated validation & error reporting — Validates email formats and data types prior to insertion, with options to export failed rows as a separate CSV file for rapid troubleshooting.

Benefits

• Eliminates manual entry work — Saves hundreds of manual administrative hours by bulk-uploading offline spreadsheets, legacy database exports, or external client records.
• Prevents server timeouts — Optimized batch execution engine ensures heavy data imports complete safely without overloading web server resources.
• Preserves data integrity — Pre-import validation rules block corrupt data, invalid formats, or incomplete fields from entering your production database.
• Streamlines system migrations — Simplifies moving user rosters, directory listings, or historical submission archives into Gravity Forms.
• Instant GravityView compatibility — Imported entries immediately populate front-end directories, tables, and dashboards built with GravityView layout templates.

Who is it suitable for?

• Web developers & agencies migrating client databases, offline CSV files, or third-party CRM records into Gravity Forms.
• Directory & marketplace operators bulk-importing business listings, product catalogs, or real estate properties into front-end GravityView layouts.
