What Is ForGravity Entry Automation Amazon S3 Extension?
ForGravity Entry Automation Amazon S3 Extension is developed by ForGravity and is an automation plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the automation category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for optimizing backend workflows. The extension bridges the gap between local form submissions and cloud-based storage infrastructure.
This software solves the problem of manual data transfers by creating a direct pipeline to AWS. It is built for developers and site administrators who need to archive high volumes of form submissions without cluttering local WordPress media libraries.
ForGravity Entry Automation Amazon S3 Extension Features
The feature set is built around the secure transmission of CSV, JSON, or XML export files to Amazon’s Simple Storage Service.
Automated Export Delivery
Entry Automation Amazon S3 Extension triggers file uploads the moment a scheduled or manual task completes. This ensures that your data is moved to the cloud without human intervention, which is essential for automation workflows. Once the file is generated, the plugin handles the handshake with Amazon’s servers reliably.
Granular Bucket Configuration
The plugin allows for specific destination settings within the Entry Automation task settings screen. You can select exactly which S3 bucket should receive the data and define a virtual destination path. Because folders are virtual in Amazon S3, the extension permits flexible file organization tailored to your AWS account structure.
Secure AWS Authentication
The extension utilizes standard AWS Access Key IDs and Secret Access Keys for authentication. These credentials are managed globally within the Gravity Forms settings section. By centralizing the authentication, site owners can ensure that multiple export tasks use the same secure connection without re-entering keys for every form.
Pricing

Use Cases
Cloud Data Backups
Automatically move entry data to S3 for long-term secure archiving. This is a common requirement for automation in legal or financial sectors where data must be stored outside the primary web server.
External Data Processing
If you use external scripts or Big Data tools to analyze form entries, this extension puts the raw files directly into your AWS ecosystem. This allows AWS Lambda or other services to process the files the moment they land in the bucket.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can standardize their offsite backup procedures across different clients using a single internal AWS account. A WPExclusive membership allows these developers to deploy the extension across an unlimited number of client installations without tracking individual keys.
