Free Gravity Forms add-on

Merge Tags

Every merge tag and field detail of your form on one page

Merge Tags is a free Gravity Forms add-on that adds an admin page with all merge tags of a form, ready to copy. Tabs show field types, admin labels, populate parameters, CSS classes, conditional logic, calculations, default merge tags and Gravity Flow steps.

In the WordPress admin, the Merge Tags overview of a demo form: every merge tag on one page, a tag selected with one click, columns switched off on the Advanced tab, the conditional logic and calculations tabs, and an all-fields table switched to {:label} tags.

For Gravity Forms builders who work on large forms and want the right merge tag or field setting without clicking through every field.

Copy instead of search

No more opening the merge tag dropdown and scrolling for the right field. Every merge tag of the form is in one list, ready to copy and paste.

Understand big forms quickly

See which fields have conditional logic, which fields other rules depend on and which calculations the form uses, without opening each field.

Build links and templates faster

Get a ready-made prefill URL, an Excel formula for prefill links and an HTML table of all fields to start your notification from.

Use cases

  • Find the right merge tag in a form with hundreds of fields.
  • Add a prefilled link to a follow-up form in a notification.
  • Create personal prefill links for a list of contacts in Excel.
  • Check which rules use a field before you change or delete it.
  • Replace {all_fields} with your own table that leaves out file upload links.
  • Review all Gravity Flow steps of a form and their conditions at a glance.

Features

  • All merge tags of a form

    The Merge Tags tab lists every merge tag in the form. The Advanced tab adds the field label, admin label, a merge tag with the admin label, the populate parameter, CSS classes and field type. You can toggle columns and include display-only fields and choice merge tags.

  • Dynamic population URLs

    The Dynamic Population tab builds a query string template from the fields that have a populate parameter. It also gives an Excel formula with ENCODEURL, in an international and a localized version, and a JWT prefill string.

  • Conditional logic and calculations

    The Conditional Logic tab shows the fields with active rules and the fields used inside rules. The Calculations tab shows every formula with its number format.

  • Your own all-fields table

    The All Fields tab generates an HTML table with a label and a merge tag for every field: an alternative to {all_fields} that you can change. Choose a version with or without file uploads.

  • Default merge tags and modifiers

    The Meta tab lists the standard merge tags and modifiers of Gravity Forms, and those of GravityView, Gravity Flow and Advanced Merge Tags when they are active. Developers can add their own with the gwp_merge_tags_meta_merge_tags filter.

  • Gravity Flow steps

    With Gravity Flow active, the Workflow tab shows each step’s name, ID, type, status, conditions and next step, plus a GravityWP Count shortcode for the entries at that step.
