Gravity Forms CLI Addon 1.4

Gravity Forms CLI Addon

The Gravity Forms CLI Addon is an essential tool for power users, developers, and system administrators, enabling them to manage Gravity Forms directly through the command line using WP-CLI. This addon enhances workflow efficiency, particularly for those managing large-scale form operations or multiple websites, by automating and streamlining tasks that would otherwise require navigating the WordPress admin panel.

Overview

The Gravity Forms CLI Addon brings the capabilities of WP-CLI to the management of Gravity Forms, allowing users to perform operations such as creating, updating, deleting, and exporting forms and entries—all from the command line. Whether you’re importing or exporting form data, resending notifications, or applying critical hotfixes, the CLI Addon makes managing forms faster and more efficient. It’s ideal for developers and those working in environments where command-line operations are preferred for their speed and precision.

The addon requires WP-CLI to be installed, and it is designed for advanced users, including developers and managed WordPress hosts who seek greater control over their Gravity Forms configurations.

Key Features

1. Manage Forms and Entries via Command Line

• Create, update, delete, and list forms: Manage forms quickly by running commands rather than using the WordPress dashboard. This is particularly useful for managing a large number of forms across multiple websites.
• Manage entries programmatically: Use CLI commands to view, delete, or export entries for specific forms, making it easy to interact with form data directly.

2. Import and Export Forms and Entries

• Data migration: The addon allows users to import and export forms and entries via the command line. This feature simplifies moving forms between different environments or creating backups of form configurations and submission data.

3. Resend Notifications for Entries

• Manual notification resending: If a notification fails to send or if you need to process an entry again, you can easily resend notifications using a simple command. This is helpful for ensuring that no important communication is missed.

4. Install and Update Gravity Forms Hotfixes

• Quick updates: The CLI addon lets you install and update Gravity Forms hotfixes directly via the command line. These hotfixes are released more frequently than regular updates and can be crucial for fixing issues swiftly without waiting for full updates.

• Scripted workflows: Developers and administrators can set up cron jobs or bash scripts to automate tasks such as exporting entries, resending notifications, or running updates. This automation helps eliminate manual effort and saves significant time on recurring tasks.
