What Is ForGravity Entry Automation FTP Extension?
ForGravity Entry Automation FTP Extension is developed by ForGravity and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for entry management and automation.
The plugin solves the problem of manual data migration between WordPress and external file servers. It is specifically designed for users who need to process form entries in external environments or maintain off-site records without manual intervention.
ForGravity Entry Automation FTP Extension Features
The core feature set is built around automating the delivery pipeline for exported form data.
Automated File Transfers
Entry Automation FTP Extension sends your entries to your FTP or SFTP server after the export file has been generated. This automation happens in the background, ensuring that your remote server stays up to date with the latest form submissions. It integrates directly with the main Entry Automation task schedule, making it a natural part of your automation workflow.
Flexible Protocol Support
The extension supports standard FTP for legacy systems and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) for encrypted, secure connections. Users can toggle between these protocols within the task settings to match their server requirements. If your server uses a custom port, you can specify it by adding a colon followed by the port number in the host field.
Integrated Connection Management
Once activated, a dedicated Connection Settings tab is added to the task settings screen. This section includes fields for the server host, username, password, and destination folder path. Visual indicators appear next to these fields during setup to verify if the entered settings are valid before you save the task.

External ERP and CRM Synchronization
Upload files to a specific directory where third-party systems or internal office applications are configured to watch for new data. This creates a bridge between your WordPress site and legacy software that only accepts file-based imports.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Consolidate form submissions from multiple client websites into a single central server. Using a WPExclusive membership allows agencies to deploy this solution across an unlimited number of client installations without increasing recurring software costs.
