Create a new form in Gravity Forms from a CSV

GravityImport allows you to create a new form when uploading your CSV file. This can save you time when you need to build a new form for a large data CSV.

The New Form functionality is also great if you want to quickly create a new Gravity Form with many radio button choices, checkboxes, drop-down options, and more. When creating a new form, GravityImport will automatically add all the values from your CSV as new form options. This is a huge time-saver.
