Custom JSON Export for Gravity Forms

Descrição

This plugin enhances Gravity Forms by providing the ability to export individual form entries as a .json file directly from the entries list. It allows you to define a custom JSON structure using a template editor within each form’s settings, where you can insert Gravity Forms merge tags and even utilize conditional logic shortcodes. A live preview feature helps you validate your JSON template before export.

Instructions

1. Activate the plugin.
2. Go to Forms > Forms, then select ‘Settings’ for the desired form.
3. Click on the ‘JSON Export’ tab.
4. Enable JSON Export Link: Check the box to display the “Download JSON Export” link on individual entry pages for this form.
5. Custom JSON Output Template: Enter your desired JSON structure in the textarea.
   • Use standard Gravity Forms merge tags (e.g., {field_id}, {entry_id}, {date_created:format:Y-m-d}).
   • Merge tags will be automatically formatted as "key":"{merge_tag}" when inserted from the dropdown.
   • You can also use Gravity Forms conditional shortcodes (e.g., [gravityforms action='conditional' merge_tag='{Name (First):1.3}' condition='isnot' value='Philip']"custom_field":"conditional_value"[/gravityforms]) to include dynamic content.
6. Preview JSON Export: Click the ‘Preview JSON Export’ button to see a live preview of your generated JSON based on the latest entry for that form. This helps in validating your template.
7. Save Settings: Click ‘Save Settings’ to apply your changes.
8. To export an entry, go to Forms > Entries, hover over an entry, and click the ‘Download JSON Export’ link.
