Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Gravity Forms and Ashby ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 47 actions - Trigger **Form Submission** Triggers when the specified form is submitted. - Action **Add Entry Note** Adds a note to a form entry. Use it to write a progress record back onto a submission — for example noting that the submission was synced to your CRM, who handled it, or why it was skipped — so the note is visible to anyone reviewing that entry in WordPress. - Action **Create Entry** Creates a new form entry. - Action **Create Feed** Attaches a new add-on feed to a form. A feed is one add-on's configuration on a form — the rule that says what should happen when the form is submitted, such as creating a WordPress user, adding the person to a mailing list, or taking a payment. - Action **Create Form** Creates a new form on the WordPress site and returns its id. Supply the form's title and, if you want the form ready to collect data, the fields it should show. - Action **Create Form Feed** Attaches a new add-on feed to a named form. Does the same thing as Create Feed, but takes the form as part of the address rather than in the settings — use whichever reads better in your automation. - Action **Delete Entry** Removes a form entry. By default the entry is moved to the trash and can still be restored from the Entries list; you can choose instead to delete it outright so it cannot be recovered. - Action **Delete Feed** Permanently removes an add-on feed from a form, so that add-on no longer acts on the form's submissions. The form itself and its entries are untouched. - Action **Delete Form** Moves a form to the trash on the WordPress site. The form stops accepting submissions and disappears from the forms list, and the site owner can still restore it or empty the trash in WordPress. - Action **Delete Note** Permanently removes an entry note. Use it to clear a note you logged against a submission, for example after a failed sync was retried successfully. - Action **Get Entry** Retrieve a single form entry, including every field value the person submitted. - Action **Get Feed** Returns one add-on feed by its id, including the add-on's settings. A feed is one add-on's configuration attached to a form — the rule that says what should happen when the form is submitted. - Action **Get Form** Returns one form's full definition, including every field on it, its notifications and its confirmations. Use it to read a form's field ids and labels before mapping data into that form. - Action **Get Form Results** Returns the summarised answers for a survey, quiz or poll form — how many people picked each choice, and how many answered each free-text question — rather than the individual entries. On a form with a lot of entries the summary is built in the background, so the result can come back marked as still being calculated. - Action **Get Note** Returns a single entry note by its id, including the note text, the entry it belongs to, when it was recorded and who it is credited to. - Action **List Entries** Returns form entries from across every form on the site, newest first, and can narrow the results to one form or to entries whose answer to a chosen question matches a value you give. - Action **List Entry Notes** Returns every note attached to one form entry — both notes people have added and the notes Gravity Forms records automatically, such as notification failures. Use it to read back what has already been logged against a submission. - Action **List Feeds** Returns every add-on feed configured on the site. A feed is one add-on's configuration attached to a form — the rule that says what should happen to a submission, such as sending it to a mailing list or charging a payment. - Action **List Form Entries** Returns the entries submitted on one particular form, newest first, and can narrow them to entries whose answer to a chosen question matches a value you give. - Action **List Form Feeds** Returns the add-on feeds attached to one form — the rules that say what happens when that form is submitted. Returns an empty list when the form has no feeds. - Action **List Forms** Returns every active form on the WordPress site, with each form's id, title and entry count. Use it to look up the id a form needs before working with that form's entries. - Action **List Notes** Returns every entry note on the site, across all forms and entries. Use it to sweep recently logged notes when you do not already know which entry you are looking for; to read the notes on one known entry, use List Entry Notes instead. - Action **Send Entry Notifications** Sends the notification emails an entry's form is set up to send, for an entry that already exists — useful for re-sending a confirmation, or for notifying people about an entry that was created through the API rather than by someone filling the form in. - Action **Submit Form** Submit a form the way a visitor would — Gravity Forms runs the form's own validation, saves the entry, and fires its notifications and confirmation. - Action **Update Entry** Change the answers on an existing form entry. Answers you leave blank keep the values they already have. - Action **Update Entry Properties** Changes an entry's housekeeping flags without touching any of its answers — whether it is starred, whether it counts as read, and whether it sits in the active list, the trash or spam. - Action **Update Feed** Changes an existing add-on feed's settings. Settings you do not include are left as they are, so you can change one thing without restating the rest of the add-on's configuration. - Action **Update Feed Properties** Switches an add-on feed on or off, and sets the order it runs in. The add-on's own settings are left completely untouched, so this is the safe way to pause a feed without risking its configuration. - Action **Update Form** Replaces an existing form's definition with the one you supply. Gravity Forms overwrites the whole form, so read the form first with Get Form and send back every part of it you want to keep. - Action **Update Note** Replaces the text of an existing entry note. Use it to revise a note you logged earlier against a submission — for example updating "Sync started" to "Synced to CRM as contact 4821". - Action **Validate Submission** Checks a set of answers against a form's own validation rules without saving an entry or sending any notifications. Returns whether the answers would be accepted, and the per-field error messages when they would not. - Action **Add candidate tag** Adds an existing tag to a candidate in Ashby and returns the updated candidate. - Action **Add job** Creates a new job in Ashby with a title, department/team and location, optionally applying a job template, interview plan, employment type and brand. - Action **Add offer** Creates an offer for a candidate's application in Ashby by submitting the offer form for an offer process that has already been started. - Action **Change Job Consideration Stage** Moves a candidate's application (their consideration for a job) to a different interview stage, optionally with an archive reason and rejection email when archiving. - Action **Consider Candidate for Job** Considers a candidate for a job in Ashby by creating a new application, optionally placing it in a specific interview plan and stage with a source and credited user. - Action **Create Candidate** Creates a new candidate in Ashby with their name, contact details, social profiles, location and source. - Action **Create Candidate Note** Adds a note to a candidate's profile in Ashby, optionally as HTML, private, or with notifications to subscribed users. - Action **Find Candidate** Returns up to 100 candidates whose email address and/or name match the values you supply. - Action **Find Job** Returns up to 100 jobs whose title or requisition ID matches the text you search for. - Action **Find Job Consideration** Returns the applications (candidates being considered) for a job in Ashby, optionally narrowed by application status and creation date. - Action **Find Opening** Returns the openings whose identifier matches the one you supply, including each opening's state, jobs, locations, hiring team and custom fields. - Action **Get candidate** Returns the full details of a single Ashby candidate, including contact info, tags, applications, files and custom field values. - Action **List departments** Returns all departments and teams in your Ashby account, optionally including archived ones or only those changed since a previous sync. - Action **List locations** Returns the office and remote locations set up in your Ashby account, optionally including archived locations and regions. - Action **Update Candidate** Updates an existing candidate's name, contact details, social links, source, credited user and location in Ashby. Fields left blank are not changed. - Action **Update job** Updates an existing job in Ashby — its title, team, location, default interview plan, employment type or requisition id. - Action **Update Opening** Updates an existing opening in Ashby, such as its identifier, description, department, target dates, backfill flag or employment type. Returns the updated opening. ## Each app on its own - [ **Gravity Forms** Gravity Forms is a premier WordPress plugin that makes it easy to create powerful forms on the fly.](https://apiant.ai/connections/gravity-forms) - [ **Ashby** Ashby's all-in-one recruiting software consolidates your ATS, Analytics, Scheduling, and CRM.](https://apiant.ai/connections/ashby) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Gravity Forms - [ **Gravity Forms to Datamuse** Word-finding API for developers offering lexical search, thesaurus, and rhyming/word-relation lookups.](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-datamuse) - [ **Gravity Forms to Harness.io** Harness.io is an AI-native software delivery platform to automate CI/CD pipelines, manage feature flags, and...](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-harness-io) - [ **Gravity Forms to Persona** Identity verification API for KYC checks, document verification, and fraud prevention workflows.](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-persona) - [ **Gravity Forms to XFlux** Read X/Twitter profiles, search, timelines; account monitors with signed webhooks](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-xflux) - [ **Gravity Forms to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-hubspot) - [ **Gravity Forms to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/gravity-forms-to-salesforce) ## More into Ashby - [ **HubSpot to Ashby** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/hubspot-to-ashby) - [ **Salesforce to Ashby** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/salesforce-to-ashby) - [ **Slack to Ashby** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Ashby to Gravity Forms? Ashby has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Gravity Forms. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Ashby's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Gravity Forms or Ashby? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Gravity Forms and Ashby without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
