What it does

Clicking through the WordPress admin to set up forms on every site takes time. The Gravity Forms CLI Add-On lets you do that work from the terminal instead, using WP-CLI commands you can run once or drop into a deployment script.

You can create, edit, duplicate, import, and export forms and fields, work with entries, send notifications, and run maintenance tools like clearing transients or generating system reports, all without opening the WordPress admin.

It is built for developers and agencies who manage multiple WordPress sites and want a consistent, repeatable way to configure Gravity Forms across environments.
