GravityExport Changelog

This release fixes two issues in large scheduled CSV exports, including a security issue, and we recommend updating GravityExport and GravityExport Lite together.

🔒 Security

• Scheduled CSV exports of more than 500 entries could contain field values that were interpreted as formulas when opened in a spreadsheet application—these values now begin with a single quote ('), matching smaller exports (requires GravityExport Lite 2.7.4 or newer).

🐛 Fixed

• Values containing a backslash before a double quote were split across two cells in scheduled CSV exports of more than 500 entries.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.35.0.

This release makes conditional logic more accessible and fixes a critical error that could occur when GravityExport Lite was inactive, along with several smaller issues.

Note: GravityExport now requires WordPress 6.5 or newer.

✨ Improved

• Keyboard and screen reader accessibility of conditional logic.
• Wider Custom Value box in narrow settings panels.

🐛 Fixed

• A critical error could appear on pages that check for GravityExport add-ons, or when deactivating GravityExport, while GravityExport Lite was inactive.
• GravityExport Save and GravityExport Filters did not appear in form settings until the download URL was enabled.
• Conditional logic on product prices matched the wrong entries with some currency formats.
• The page scrolled when a date picker calendar was opened or closed.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.33.0.

This update adds compatibility with the latest GravityExport Lite and fixes broken download links for filtered exports.

✨ Improved

• Compatibility with the security changes introduced in GravityExport Lite 2.7.3.

This update fixes two issues that could send a scheduled export to the wrong storage destination, or to none at all.

🐛 Fixed

• Scheduled exports of forms with more than 500 entries could not reach an FTP or SFTP destination, failing with "Unable to connect to host at port 21" regardless of the feed's settings.
• An export could be delivered to another feed's storage destination when two feeds ran during the same request.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.32.1.

This release adds Google Sheets as an export destination, gives every feed an Activity Log of what its recent exports did, and lets you apply one feed's setup to any number of your forms.

🚀 Added

• You can now export your entries to Google Sheets!
  • Choose to export to existing spreadsheets or create a new one.
  • Connect your account in the GravityKit Settings under GravityExport.
• An Activity Log tab on every feed listing its recent exports, so it's easy to see the feed's latest activity.
• Scheduled exports can send only the entries received since the last export that worked, instead of the whole form every time. Choose it under Entries to Include; existing feeds keep sending everything until you change it. A run that fails does not move the starting point, so nothing is skipped.
• Copy to Other Forms bulk action, available on the feed list page, copies a feed and its settings to multiple forms at once.
• Connecting Google Sheets, Dropbox, or Box now requires a GravityKit license that includes GravityExport.

✨ Improved

• "Download Permissions" on a new export filter feed default to people signed in with export access, rather than to anyone with the link. Existing feeds keep the setting they were saved with, and the public option is still there if you want it.
• Added an "Every 30 Days" schedule interval, replacing the need to type 720 into the custom hours box.
• The feed list table now has columns showing when the feed will run next as well as a column linking to the export destination.
• Renamed:
  • Feed action that runs an export immediately from "Process" to "Export Now"
  • Save Feed "Feed Title" setting is now called "Export Name"
• New Filters feeds no longer include User IP and User Agent by default.
• Filters and Save settings are hidden until GravityExport is enabled for a form.

🐛 Fixed

• Unsaved typed values being reset when choosing a different storage destination.
• The "Last Export" panel incorrectly reporting that no exports had been run when manual or per-entry exports had been processed.
• Feeds set to Scheduled reported "Not scheduled" until you saved it a second time.
• Deleting, trashing and restoring an entry now update the export.
• Entries created by an import, the REST API, or another add-on didn't trigger exports. Importing rows now runs the export once when the import finishes.
• A connection that went offline was reported every time it was checked, and a connection that came back was never reported at all, though the setting offers both. Each is now announced once, when it changes.
• A secured export link returned a blank page to anyone without access, giving no way to tell a permissions refusal from a broken link. It now explains why, and offers a way to sign in.
• Some buttons looked misaligned in WordPresss 7.0 and newer.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.29.0.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityexport/save/monitored-connection/failed action, fired with the offline MonitorableConnection when a monitored cloud storage connection is found to be down.
• Added gk/gravityexport/sheets/rows-page filter to modify each page of rows before it is written to Google Sheets. Receives the page's rows, the form ID, and the number of entries skipped before this page.
• Added gk/gravityexport/save/feed-copy/unknown-key filter to decide whether unrecognized feed meta keys are copied or dropped when a feed is copied to other forms.

This release adds support for attaching the single-entry export file to multiple notifications and fixes a translation-loading notice on WordPress 6.7 and newer.

🚀 Added

• The single-entry export file can now be attached to multiple notifications at once (requires GravityExport Lite 2.7.0+ and Gravity Forms 2.9.9.2+).

🐛 Fixed

• A _load_textdomain_just_in_time notice on WordPress 6.7 and newer.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.28.0.

This release improves conditional logic with a searchable picker for multi-selection filters, a new "has NONE of" operator, and a redesigned date picker.

  • Conditions on date fields now use a redesigned calendar date picker for easier date entry.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.21.0.

This release adds monitoring for cloud storage connections, alerting you when a Dropbox or Box connection goes offline.

🚀 Added

• Monitoring for the Dropbox and Box connections your feeds use, alerting you by email, a dashboard notice, or both when one goes offline. Configure it under Cloud Storage on the GravityKit > Settings > GravityExport page.

🐛 Fixed

• Exported entries could appear in a different order between runs when the configured sort column contained duplicate values or when no sort was specified.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.18.0.

This release extends Filter feed configuration to every Save feed trigger and fixes inconsistent transposed output and silent entry loss in scheduled exports.

✨ Improved

• Save feeds linked to a Filter feed now apply the Filter feed's full configuration (column position, sort order, filename, etc.) on every trigger, not just on the Webhook trigger as before.

🐛 Fixed

• Save feeds linked to a Filter feed with Column Position set to Left (transposed) were not producing a transposed file on triggers other than Webhook.
• Scheduled Save feed exports could silently drop a chunk of entries on invalid UTF-8, partial disk writes, or a corrupt accumulation file.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityexport/save/feed/before-handle action, fired before a Save feed is processed by any trigger.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.16.1.

This hotfix restores the controls for adding new conditional logic rules.

🐛 Fixed

• Conditional logic controls missing in the feed settings when no rules had been configured.

This release enables background exports on sites protected by HTTP Basic Authentication, improves conditional logic, and resolves issues that could cause exports to fail on certain hosting environments.

🚀 Added

• Background exports can now run on sites protected by HTTP Basic Authentication, such as password-protected staging and development environments.

✨ Improved

• Enhanced conditional logic:
  • Empty field values are no longer treated as today's date when using is on, is not on, is before, or is after filters;
  • Filters on deleted or missing forms (e.g. when viewing feed settings for a removed form) no longer trigger errors;
  • Admin-only filters (those suffixed :disabled_admin) no longer error out when applied to multi-value fields.

Note: GravityExport now requires PHP 7.4 or newer.

🚀 Added

• Chunked processing for large scheduled exports (CSV and XLSX) to prevent timeouts and memory issues.
• Pre-flight memory check for scheduled XLSX exports to prevent out-of-memory crashes.

✨ Improved
