FormSync CLI & REST API

FormSync 0.5 is now available! It includes a couple of really sweet new features.

FormSync REST API

I previously wrote about the FormSync REST API, and how you can use it to automatically deploy your forms via your automated deployments. Check out that article to learn how you can set up a continuous deployment to sync your forms by hitting the REST API endpoint after a deployment has run.

FormSync CLI

Another new feature in FormSync 0.5 is the formsync command for the WordPress command line interface (WP CLI). With the new command, users of Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, and WPForms can sync their forms over SSH, either manually or via an automated deployment.

To sync forms via the FormSync CLI, simply run the following command:

wp formsync sync

You can run this command via your automated deployments if the deployments are run over SSH.

Fixes

FormSync 0.5 also includes a fix for how Gravity Forms form feeds were synced. If you tried creating new forms via the sync feature, and if the forms had feeds, you may have noticed duplicate feeds on the newly created form. This issue has been fixed.
