What is the method to establish multiple logical conditions with the Zapier integration for Gravity Forms on a WordPress site?

I am operating a WordPress website with the Gravity Forms and Zapier integrations. Currently, Zapier provides functionality for just a single logical condition to determine whether a zap should trigger. I’m exploring ways to implement conditional logic without relying on the plugin interface. Are there specific hooks or events I could tweak to incorporate this feature? Would a custom plugin be necessary for this? It’s essential for me to execute the zap based on several conditions, but I cannot make changes on the Zapier side as the zap was designed by a third party, and its logic is uneditable. Additionally, I’ve encountered images in the Gravity Forms/Zapier interface that indicate there is no option to include extra conditions. Previous discussions on GravityForms forums mentioned a plan to add this capability back in 2019, yet it remains absent in the current version of the plugin. Although the feature exists in the Zapier configuration, our hands are tied due to reliance on the pre-designed zap.

Another option you might explore involves using Gravity Forms’ own built-in filters and actions to add the desired conditional logic. You can use the “gform_after_submission” hook to run custom PHP code right after a form submission. Within that code, you can implement any logic needed. If the conditions are satisfied, you could then programmatically call Zapier’s webhook URL directly, forwarding the data and triggering the zap. This way, you maintain the ability to use complex conditions without altering the pre-configured Zapier zap.

One approach you might consider is integrating a middleware or bridge using webhooks. You can set up your Gravity Forms to send the data to an intermediary script on your server upon submission. This script could then apply multiple logical conditions using your preferred programming language. Depending on the results, the data could be forwarded as a webhook to your Zapier zap. By doing so, you ensure your conditions are met before the zap gets triggered. This method won’t require altering the zap itself and allows more flexibility with conditions.

I’ve found that using a third-party tool like Integromat (now called Make) can be beneficial in this scenario. You can initially direct the Gravity Forms data through Integromat, where you have the capability to implement multiple logical operations using their flow system before deciding to trigger the zap. This approach allows you to bypass the limitation of Zapier’s single-condition cap by separating the conditions and logic setting process from the zap itself, without modifying the existing zap or requiring an additional custom plugin on your end.
