Any custom property (for example, if the Form Field is called - Favourite Colour, it will be visible in Omnisend as custom property gravity_forms_favourite_colour: "customers response")*.
Specific forms tag
*Any unmapped property will be passed to Omnisend as a custom property to be used in segmentation and/or automation.
Setting Up Your First Form
Step 1. Go to Gravity Forms → New Form → Add New.
Step 2. Select any of the available templates or a blank form; we'll go with the Advanced form template.
Step 3. Give your form a title and, if you want - a description.
Important! If you want to collect contact identifiers fields as subscribers, add a Consent block to any email or phone number collection field.
Step 4. When the form has all the fields added that you want to collect, go to Settings → select Omnisend.
Step 5. Now map all your captured fields to Omnisend's properties so they would match as closely as possible.
Important 💡 Email/SMS consent must be mapped to capture contacts as subscribers.
Step 6. From here - you can publish your form on an existing page/post, create a new page/post, or copy a short code to be embedded anywhere on your WP website. That's it; after the form is published - contacts subscribing to it will appear in your Omnisend audience automatically.
FAQ
Why are contacts appearing as non-subscribed after subscribing to a Gravity form? Check the form's settings to see if email/phone consent is mapped correctly. Check whether email/SMS consent is set as a required field. If consent is not mapped correctly or not ticked - contacts will not be subscribed.
Can my Gravity Forms trigger Welcome automation?
Currently - no, but you can send a feature improvement request to our support at [email protected]. However, If you wish to send a Welcome workflow to the customers subscribing to one of the forms created with this integration, you can use the tag or any other unique property to set up Segment-based automation.
