Description
The Gravity Forms Disable Entry Creation plugin allows users to automatically delete form entries and any associated files immediately after submission, rather than storing them permanently in the WordPress database. While Gravity Forms requires an entry to function properly, this plugin ensures that the entry is removed once all processing, including feed execution like user registration, is complete. This makes it ideal for use cases where storing entries locally is unnecessary or undesirable, such as newsletter signups, calculators, contact forms, or CRM forms that only need to send notifications without retaining data.
The plugin supports conditional logic to disable entry creation selectively based on user-defined criteria. This means entry deletion can be triggered only under certain conditions set within the form, providing flexibility and control. It also assists organizations in meeting GDPR compliance by removing all personal data from entries immediately after processing, minimizing data retention risks.
Integration is straightforward, with the feature accessible directly in Gravity Forms settings. Entries and their files are deleted seamlessly after all feeds have run successfully, including waiting for user registration activations when applicable. This approach keeps data handling secure and compliant while maintaining the full functionality of Gravity Forms workflows.
