Effortlessly automate export delivery with ForGravity Entry Automation FTP Extension, a WordPress plugin that sends your export files to FTP or SFTP after generation. Enjoy reliable, secure transfers and a dedicated FTP Settings tab for easy setup and validation. A seamless integration for Gravity Forms exports, making backups and sharing faster.
Description
The ForGravity Entry Automation FTP Extension is a WordPress plugin designed to automate delivery of Gravity Forms export files. After an export is generated in the Entry Automation workflow, the extension sends the export to your external server automatically. This solves the manual step of downloading, uploading, and coordinating backups across systems. It’s useful when you need a reliable way to share exported data or keep an off-site record.
With a dedicated FTP Settings tab inside the export task, you can configure connection details and validate them before transfers run. The extension supports both FTP and SFTP so you can choose the transfer method that fits your environment.
