<p>Gravity Forms allows you to create posts from a form submission using special Post Fields. By default, the submitted form will be created as a standard WordPress post. This plugin allows you to change the post type of the generated post. <strong>No code required!</strong> This plugin also provides the ability to assign the generated post to a custom taxonomy.</p>
