Gravity Flow version 1.7 is now available via auto-update and for download from the account page.
This is a feature release that includes deeper integration with Sliced Invoices, step expiration enhancements, and new email options for the User Input step.
Highlights in v1.7
Sliced Invoices Integration
Gravity Flow now integrates even more deeply with the hugely popular Sliced Invoices plugin.
You can add a step at any point in the workflow which will generate a quote or an invoice.
Gravity Flow v1.7 adds additional functionality to the Sliced Invoices feed settings – you can set the default status and also the line items can now be generated automatically from the order summary of pricing fields – list field is no longer necessary.
Each time a quote or an invoice is generated, a note is added to the entry’s timeline:
By default, the workflow will continue as soon as the quote/invoice has been generated. In v1.7, the new “Step Completion” setting on the Sliced Invoices step provides the option to wait until payment has been received before continuing on the workflow. No more chasing up customers for payment.
For further details, check out the documentation.
Step Expiration Enhancements
You can now configure steps to expire before or after a date specified in the value of a date field on the form. If the form has a date field, then the date field option will be available in the expiration step setting.
New User Input Emails
The user input step now has two new email settings: “in progress” and “complete”. The “in progress” email will be sent when an assignee saves their progress in the user input step. The “Complete” email will be sent when the step is complete before continuing on the workflow.
The “in progress” email is particularly useful if you have a Workflow Discussion field on the form and you’d like to notify other assignees when a new comment has been added.
