Summary
Before the Slack Add-On can be used with Gravity Forms, you will first need to create a feed. A feed allows form submission data to be sent to another source. In this instance, form data is being sent to Slack.
Create a Feed
To create a feed to Slack using the Slack Add-On for Gravity Forms, do the following from your WordPress Admin Dashboard:
- Click on Forms in the left side menu.
- Select the form that you want to use with Slack.
- Once within your desired form, hover over Settings and click on Slack.
- Click Add New to create a new feed. You will be presented with the Slack feed settings screen.
Feed Settings Reference
The following fields are available within the settings screen.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Feed Name | Required. Used only for identification and will not be shown anywhere other than your feed listing. |
| Action | Choose Send Message. |
| Send To | Select Public Channel, Private Group, or Direct Message. Before sending to a Private Group or selecting it from the drop-down, you need to invite the Gravity Forms App to the Private Group. See Private Group authorization docs. |
| Slack Channel | Select the specific Channel, Group, or Individual the message should be sent to. For multiple destinations, create additional feeds. |
| Message | Determines the message content. Supports merge tags for dynamic content. Formatting: *asterisks* for bold, _underscores_ for italics, > to indent a single line, >>> to indent multiple paragraphs, single backticks for inline fixed-width text, triple backticks for a block of pre-formatted, fixed-width text. |
| Image Attachments | If your form has Upload File fields, you’ll see a list of them to attach as image attachments. Only image files will be attached. |
| Conditional Logic | If unchecked, every successful submission is sent to Slack. Check Enable to set specific conditions for sending. |
