Why should you connect Gravity Forms with Notion?

When collecting data from Gravity Forms on your WordPress website, you may need to:

• Centralize data from your forms in a shared environment beyond WordPress
• Organize the data, filter it, analyze it, etc.
• Categorize the data and feed it, especially after various requests (quotes, meetings, etc.)

Notion can do all that, and it’s really very easy.

Sounds good? So, let us show you how to connect Gravity Forms to Notion!

How to connect Gravity Forms and Notion (without Make or Zapier)

Step 1: Install the Notion for Gravity Forms add-on on your website

First, purchase the Notion for Gravity Forms Add-On et l'installer sur votre site WordPress.

Step 2: Activate your add-on license

Once the Notion for Gravity Forms Add-On is activated, you must retrieve your license key to use the add-on: you will receive it by email or it can be accessed via your account Then go to your WordPress administration panel in the Gravity Forms settings (Formulaires > Paramètres) and click on the new Notion insert that has appeared in the left menu.

In front of Activation de la licence, paste the license key of the add-on and click on Activer.

Step 3: Activate your Notion secret key

Next, log in to your Notion account and go to the My Integrations page. This page allows you to create a connection between Notion Gravity Forms and retrieve a secret key.

On this page, click New Integration.

Give your integration an impactful name, for example, “Gravity Forms to Notion”. If your Notion account is associated with multiple Notion workspaces, select the one you want to push data to. Next, navigate to Capabilities in the left-hand menu and select Read user information including email addresses.

Notion then generates your Internal Integration Token, a secret key that starts with “secret_…”. Click on the show button, In Secrets, to view this key and copy it to your clipboard.

Go back to your WordPress admin and select Gravity Forms > Settings > Notion tab. Then paste your Notion secret key in the Secret Token domaine.

Cliquez sur Sauvegarder les paramètres: a green icon validates that your API key is activated.

Step 4: Create a Notion database and share it with your integration

Now you need a Notion database where your integration will be authorized to save data. (If you haven’t created this database yet, do it ASAP).

Add a column for each Gravity Forms field you want to view in Notion.

Then click on the three boxes at the top right of the screen and Add Connection. Select the integration name you just created from the list: your database is now shared!

Step 5: Create your first feed

Go back to your WordPress admin – hover over the form of your choice and click Settings > Notion.

Equally, you can modify your form by clicking on Editer, and then, within the form editor, selecting Settings > Notion.

You then land on a page that will allow you to create connection flows between your form and Notion.

To create your first feed, click Add New. Then, within the configuration page of your feed, start by giving it a name of your choosing.

Now select the Notion database to which you want to send the form data.

Please note that the drop-down list only displays databases you have shared with your Notion integration.

Click Sauvegarder les paramètres.

Step 6: Map your form fields to your database columns

You will then be able to associate the columns of your Notion database with the fields of your Gravity Forms.

En dessous Notion Columns, click on Sélectionner un champ – the drop-down list displays the columns of your Notion database.

Select a column from the list. On the right, below Form Fields, you can choose the field associated with this column among all the fields of your form.

Cliquez sur le bouton + button to map a new field on your form – replicate for all the fields you want to transfer to Notion.

When you’re done, click Sauvegarder les paramètres: that’s it; from now on, your form entries will be visible in Notion!

Step 7 (Optional): Add filters and conditions

Finally, you can create filters to send only part of the data collected by your form to your Notion database.

For example, you can insert a consent box in your contact form “I agree to be contacted”. By adding a condition, only people who have checked this box will be added to Notion.

Vous pouvez également envoyer les données à une base de données ou à une autre en fonction du contenu des champs du formulaire, par exemple : en fonction du contenu d'un champ "Objet de votre demande".

To create a filter or condition, click Condition d'activation.

A gauche, vous pouvez choisir un champ de votre formulaire et sélectionner les critères qui activeront l'envoi à Notion, par exemple :

- Objet IS "Demande commerciale"

Cliquez sur Sauvegarder les paramètres à valider.

Step 8: Test your feed

It’s simple – enter information into your Form, validate, and check your Notion database.

If all goes well, you should find the data you just submitted via your form in your database.

And there you go!

You have everything you need to organize, track, categorize, and share your Gravity Forms entries in Notion.

We hope you find our add-on helpful in managing your projects, leads, etc.
