How to Send Gravity Forms Submissions to Podio
Podio is a project management tool for organizing work and collaborating. Every Gravity Forms submission should flow into Podio without manual effort. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to Podio. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Gravity Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Podio account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Podio to AFI
Podio uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Podio, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Gravity Forms to Podio.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Gravity Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Podio as the destination
Choose Podio from the platform dropdown and pick Add Item. This creates an item in a Podio app.
4. Map fields
Match each Podio field on the left to the corresponding Gravity Forms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your Gravity form and submit. Check Podio to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps title and description to Podio with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.
Will adding this slow down my form?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple Gravity Forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
