Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Gravity Forms **1** trigger Gravity Forms **30** actions Google Docs **10** triggers Google Docs **46** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Gravity Forms and Google Docs to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

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 Google Docs ## Triggers and actions 11 triggers · 76 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. - Trigger **Document Deleted** Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed. - Trigger **Document Placeholder Filled** Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text. - Trigger **Document Search Update** Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents. - Trigger **Document Structure Changed** Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed - Trigger **Document Updated** Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated. - Trigger **Document Word Count Threshold** Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value. - Trigger **Keyword Detected in Document** Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset. - Trigger **New Document Added** Triggers when a new Google Doc is added/created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. - Trigger **New Document Created** Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents. - Trigger **New Folder Created in Root** Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory. - Action **Copy Document** Tool to create a copy of an existing google document. use this to duplicate a document, for example, when using an existing document as a template. the copied document will have a default title (e.g., 'copy of [original title]') if no new title is provided, and will be placed in the user's root google drive folder. - Action **Create And Populate Table** Creates a new table in a Google Document and populates its cells with provided text data in a single operation. Use this action when you need to insert a structured table with predefined content into a document. The action handles both table creation and cell population automatically, eliminating the need for separate operations. - Action **Create Document** Creates a new google docs document using the provided title as filename and inserts the initial text at the beginning if non-empty, returning the document's id and metadata (excluding body content). - Action **Create Document Markdown** Creates a new google docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as markdown text. - Action **Create Footer** Tool to create a new footer in a google document. use when you need to add a footer, optionally specifying its type and the section it applies to. - Action **Create Footnote** Tool to create a new footnote in a google document. use this when you need to add a footnote at a specific location or at the end of the document body. - Action **Create Header** Tool to create a new header in a google document. use this tool when you need to add a header to a document, optionally specifying the section it applies to. - Action **Create Named Range** Tool to create a new named range in a google document. use this to assign a name to a specific part of the document for easier reference or programmatic manipulation. - Action **Create Paragraph Bullets** Tool to add bullets to paragraphs within a specified range in a google document. use when you need to format a list or a set of paragraphs as bullet points. - Action **Create Tab** Creates a new tab in a Google Docs document.

Any of Gravity Forms's 1 trigger in the catalog, including Form Submission. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Google Docs when something happens in Gravity Forms? Any of Google Docs's 46 actions, including Create And Populate Table, Create Document, Create Document Markdown and Create Footer. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Google Docs to Gravity Forms? Yes. When something happens in Google Docs, your agent can act in Gravity Forms too. This page covers both directions: Google Docs's triggers and Gravity Forms's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Gravity Forms or Google Docs? 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 Google Docs 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.
