How to Track Gravity Forms Changes with Logify
What is it?
Logify PRO records changes to your Gravity Forms setup: when a form is created or saved, trashed, deleted, duplicated, imported, activated, or deactivated. Each change is written to the activity log with the user who made it and the time it happened.
The integration turns itself on when Gravity Forms is active. There is nothing to configure.
Why is it helpful?
Forms are usually the part of a site that quietly stops working. A form gets deactivated, a notification setting is changed, or somebody duplicates a form and edits the wrong copy — and the first sign of trouble is that leads stopped arriving.
With Gravity Forms logging you can:
- Explain missing leads. If enquiries dried up on Tuesday, check whether the form was deactivated or trashed on Tuesday.
- Track edits across a team. Every save is attributed, so you know who last touched a form.
- Spot the duplicate-form mistake. Duplication is recorded, which makes it obvious when two similar forms started to diverge.
- Keep imports accountable. Imported forms are logged, so a bulk import from another site is visible in the trail.
Who can use it? (Real-World Examples)
1. Marketing teams
- Scenario: A campaign landing page stopped collecting sign-ups.
- Solution: Filter the activity log for gravityforms around the date the drop started. A
deactivatedentry explains it immediately.
2. Agencies with multiple editors
- Scenario: A client says their contact form "changed" but nobody admits to editing it.
- Solution: The
created/ saved entries name the account and timestamp for every save.
3. Site administrators
- Scenario: A form disappeared from the forms list.
- Solution: Look for a
trashedordeletedentry to see who removed it and when.
How to use it
Step 1: Make sure Gravity Forms is active
The integration is part of Logify PRO and loads only when Gravity Forms is installed and active.
Step 2: Open the activity log
Go to Logify > Activity Logs.
Step 3: Filter to Gravity Forms
Set the Event Type filter to gravityforms. Add a user or date filter to narrow it further.

Frequently asked questions
Does Logify record form entries or submitted data? No. This integration tracks changes to the forms themselves, not the entries people submit through them. Submitted content stays in Gravity Forms.
Do I need to enable anything? No. Install Logify PRO with Gravity Forms active and the events start appearing.
Can I be alerted when a form is deactivated? Yes, with PRO notifications — see Notifications.
