<h4>Send as Email Attachment</h4>
Gravity PDF can automatically email the PDF to both the admin and the user as soon as the form is completed. You can combine this feature with a Gravity Forms payment add-on <a href="https://gravitypdf.com/news/sell-personalized-pdf-documents-using-gravity-forms/" rel="nofollow ugc">to sell personalized reports, gift certificates, or generate PDF invoices</a>.

Demo: 
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HHG763ikL7o?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Dynamic values in GravityForms and WPForms 
We have developed a way to get values from other fields in GravityForms and WPForms. You can use this in the field mapping in the feed. You can use: 
{id:N} in order to get the value from field N 
{label:N} in order to get the label from field N (only in GravityForms)
Expert Mode 
You can enable Expert Mode in the form feed. This mode will show all fields of the CRM in the form mapping. This is useful if you want to connect all fields of the CRM to the form. Now currently works for Odoo.
We recommend to use this in the field mapping in the feed and hidden field that gets the value.

<h3>Error Log with Automatic Retry System</h3>

Key Features:

<li>Retry Progress Counter: Shows retry attempts (e.g., “2/3”) and displays time until next automatic retry</li>
<li>Responsive Design: Fully responsive interface that works on all devices</li>
</ul>
Automatic Retry System:
When a form submission fails to send to your CRM:
<ol>
<li>The error is logged immediately and the first retry is scheduled for 1 hour later</li>
<li>If the retry fails, another retry is scheduled for 1 hour after that</li>
<li>This continues for up to 3 total attempts (original submission + 2 retries)</li>
<li>If an attempt succeeds, all future retries are automatically cancelled</li>
<li>You can manually resend at any time, which counts toward the 3-attempt limit</li>

<li>View all form submission errors in an organized table</li>
<li>Filter by status or CRM type to find specific errors</li>

<li>Click Resend to manually retry sending a failed entry to your CRM</li>
<li>Click Delete to remove individual log entries and cancel any pending retries</li>
<li>Use Clear All Logs to remove all entries at once and cancel all pending retries</li>
</ol>
What Information is Displayed:
<ul>
<li>Date and time of error</li>
<li>CRM type (Holded, Clientify, etc.)</li>
<li>Form information (type, ID, name, entry ID)</li>
<li>Complete error message</li>
<li>All lead data from the form submission</li>
<li>API endpoint URL</li>
<li>JSON request payload</li>
<li>Retry attempts count (e.g., “2/3”)</li>
<li>Time until next automatic retry (e.g., “Next: in 45 minutes”)</li>
<li>Last resend date and time</li>
</ul>
The Error Log with automatic retry system helps you maintain data integrity by ensuring no form submissions are lost due to temporary errors, connectivity issues, or API downtime. The automatic retry mechanism increases the success rate of form submissions without requiring manual intervention.

Instructions for adding Clientify cookie in the forms 
Clientify cookie adds the ability to merge the contact with the Clientify cookie in the form. You will see if Clientify is added as CRM, a new hidden field in your form. You could check if is already in the form, but if you don’t have it you can add it and put as css clientify_cookie .
Add Pipeline name or ID in Opportunities 
You can add a new field that fits with the Pipeline name (pipeline_desc) or Pipeline ID (pipeline_id) in Opportunities in Clientify. You can also specify the Pipeline Stage Name (pipeline_stage_desc). You will need to use the same name or ID as the Pipeline in Clientify.
Add expected closure date for Deals in Clientify 
You can add a new field that fits with expected closure date for Deals in Clientify. This field is optional, and you need to add a number of days to the expected closure date. The plugin will calculate the date from today and will add it to the Deal in Clientify.
Marketing Status in Clientify 
You can set the marketing status for contacts using the marketing_status field. Use value 1 for Sales Contact or value 2 for Marketing Contact.
Autoassignment in Clientify 
Field that applies the autoassignment to the contact. You can add a string with the list of usernames (property emails) separated by comma (,) to apply the autoassignment.
Webhook in GravityForms 
You can add a new field that fits with the Webhook in GravityForms. This field is optional, and you need to add the webhook url. The plugin will send the form data received from CRM to the webhook url.
