Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Slack **15** triggers Slack **60** actions Gravity Forms **1** trigger Gravity Forms **30** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Slack and Gravity Forms 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.

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. ## Each app on its own - [ **Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Slack's 15 triggers in the catalog, including New Channel, New Channel (instant), New Channel Member and New File (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Gravity Forms when something happens in Slack? Any of Gravity Forms's 30 actions, including Create Entry, Create Feed, Create Form and Create Form Feed. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Gravity Forms to Slack? Yes. When something happens in Gravity Forms, your agent can act in Slack too. This page covers both directions: Gravity Forms's triggers and Slack's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Slack or Gravity Forms? 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 Slack and Gravity Forms 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.
