Gravity Forms Partial Entries

Gravity Forms Partial Entries is an official Gravity Forms extension designed to capture and save form data even when the user does not complete or submit the form. It is an essential tool for businesses, agencies, and projects that rely on long or strategic forms to capture clients, requests, bookings, or qualified leads, as every incomplete attempt represents valuable information that would otherwise be lost forever.

How it works is simple and powerful: while a visitor fills out a form, the extension automatically records the data entered in real time using the WordPress Heartbeat API. If the user leaves the page, closes the browser, or simply stops midway through the process, all partial information is stored as an entry in the admin panel. This allows you to recover data from potential customers that would otherwise have been completely lost.

One of its most notable features is the built-in conditional logic. You can configure exactly when you want to save a partial entry, for example, only if the user has completed the email field or if they have filled out a certain percentage of the form. This way, the captured data is always useful and actionable for your business, as you can follow up and re-engage those users with your products or services.

Additionally, all partial entries are displayed directly in the WordPress panel, where you can check the progress of each abandoned form and gain valuable insight into which forms are underperforming and at what exact point users abandon them. This analytics allows you to optimize your forms and increase conversions over time.

The extension is fully compatible with Gravity Forms' Save and Continue functionality, allowing users to save their progress and resume it later. It also includes filters such as gform_partialentries_pre_update for developers who need to modify data before it is updated. Credit card fields and file upload fields are not stored in partial entries, ensuring the security of sensitive data.

In short, Gravity Forms Partial Entries turns every abandoned form into a recoverable business opportunity, helping you not lose a single lead and continuously improve the experience of your forms.
