We've been rethinking how GravityKit handles resource-intensive tasks. GravityImport now processes imports entirely in the background, and GravityExport breaks large scheduled exports into manageable chunks. Both changes mean fewer timeouts, fewer failures, and less waiting around! We'd love your help shaping what comes next—take our 2-minute survey to earn $20 in account credit.

Join us for our next episode of GravityKit Live! We’re kicking things off with a special guest appearance from Dave Smith of Gravity Wiz, who will demo their powerful new Dev Tools add-on for Gravity Forms.
Dev Tools is the Swiss Army knife for testing and debugging Gravity Forms, from generating dummy entries and mock payments to previewing forms without restrictions.
We’ll also walk through several game-changing GravityKit updates, including background processing for imports and exports, scheduled reporting, and improved search and filtering. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a live Q&A where you can ask questions and chat with the team.
Import entries from CSV files into Gravity Forms to transfer data, create new forms, or update existing entries.
GravityImport now processes imports in the background. That means large imports no longer risk timing out or failing halfway through, and you don't have to keep your browser open waiting for them to finish. A live progress notice follows you across the WordPress admin, and you can pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
Background processing is also being rolled out for other GravityKit products, helping larger jobs finish reliably without forcing everything into a single request.
This release also adds failed record recovery. Previously, if rows failed during an import, you'd have to re-import the entire file or manually find and fix the problem rows. Now you can retry just the failed rows with the same or updated field mapping, or download them as a CSV with a column explaining why each row failed, so nothing slips through the cracks.
GravityExport
Export Gravity Forms entries to Excel, CSV, or PDF and share them instantly with secure download links.
GravityExport now processes large scheduled exports in chunks, so sites with high entry counts are less likely to hit timeouts or memory limits. A pre-flight memory check for XLSX exports also catches potential issues before they start.
These updates are part of our latest round of releases, which also includes updates to Advanced Filtering, Maps, and DataTables.
WordPress 7.0 is shaping up nicely. Beta 5 dropped on March 12 and brings a new Command Palette in the admin bar (hit ⌘K to try it), plus a handful of admin UI refinements. The final release is scheduled for April 9.
The bigger story for us is native AI support via the new "Connectors screen". Once connected to the AI provider of your choice, you can generate featured images, alt text, AI summaries, and more right from the WordPress editor, without needing any third-party tools!
Want to take it for a spin? Here's how to get set up:
Grab WP 7.0 Beta 5 from the WordPress releases page (you'll find it under "Beta & RC releases") and install it on a staging or local test site.
Navigate to Settings > Connectors.
From here, click to install the AI Experiments plugin, as well as the provider plugins of your choice (or grab them from the plugin repository).
Enter your Gemini, Anthropic or OpenAI API key (you can get these from your account pages. Note: some may require billing to be enabled).
Go to Settings > AI Experiments and choose which AI features you want to enable.
📝 SURVEY
Shape the WordPress data dashboard you’ll actually use
We’ve been working on something extra special behind the scenes, and we need your input. We’re building a new way to visualize, report on, and share WordPress data—starting with Gravity Forms and expanding to WooCommerce, payment tracking, and more.
This is your chance to shape what gets built. 3 short pages, under 2 minutes. All responses are confidential. As a thank you for completing the survey, you’ll receive:

If you’re manually exporting Gravity Forms data every day, week, or month, there’s a better way. With GravityExport, you can set up recurring exports that run automatically and deliver files to your server, Dropbox, or an SFTP destination. In this tutorial, Casey walks you through two ways to schedule recurring exports:
Scheduled exports — built-in intervals like hourly, daily, or weekly.
Webhook-triggered exports — for custom intervals like quarterly or every 5 minutes, using external services like FastCron or Make.
