Using Gravity Forms ‘gform_is_feed_asynchronous’ PHP filter

The gform_is_feed_asynchronous Gravity Forms PHP filter can be used to enable or disable background processing of feeds. This feature prevents feed processing from impacting form submission performance.

Usage

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', 'your_function_name', 10, 4 );

Parameters

$is_asynchronous (bool) – Indicates if background (async) feed processing is enabled or disabled.
$feed (array) – The Feed Object currently being processed.
$form (array) – The Form Object currently being processed.
$entry (array) – The Entry Object currently being processed.

Examples

Turn off background processing for the specified feed name

This example uses the feed name to limit the scope of the snippet.

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', function ( $is_asynchronous, $feed, $form, $entry ) {
    GFCommon::log_debug( __METHOD__ . '(): running.' );
    $feed_name  = rgars( $feed, 'meta/feedName' );
    // Run only for this feed name.
    if ( $feed_name === 'Your feed name here' ) {
        GFCommon::log_debug( __METHOD__ . '(): Disabling background processing for feed: ' . $feed_name );
        $is_asynchronous = false;
    }
    return $is_asynchronous;
}, 10, 4 );

Enable background processing for specific add-ons

These examples check the add-on slug from the $feed to enable background processing for specific add-ons.

Single add-on

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', function ( $is_asynchronous, $feed ) {
    $target_slug = 'the-slug-goes-here';
    if ( rgar( $feed, 'addon_slug' ) === $target_slug ) {
        $is_asynchronous = true;
    }

    return $is_asynchronous;
}, 10, 2 );

Multiple add-ons

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', function ( $is_asynchronous, $feed ) {
    $target_slugs = array(
        'slug1',
        'slug2',
    );

    if ( in_array( rgar( $feed, 'addon_slug' ), $target_slugs ) ) {
        $is_asynchronous = true;
    }

    return $is_asynchronous;
}, 10, 2 );

This example shows how background feed processing can be disabled for the User Registration add-on when using older versions of the Auto Login perk.

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', function ( $is_asynchronous, $feed ) {
    if ( ! $is_asynchronous || ! class_exists( 'GP_Auto_Login' ) || rgar( $feed, 'addon_slug' ) !== 'gravityformsuserregistration' ) {
        return $is_asynchronous;
    }

    return GP_Auto_Login::get_instance()->is_auto_login_enabled( $feed ) ? false : $is_asynchronous;
}, 10, 2 );

If you’re enabling auto login via custom code, you can use the following approach instead.

add_filter( 'gform_is_feed_asynchronous', function ( $is_asynchronous, $feed ) {
    if ( ! $is_asynchronous || rgar( $feed, 'addon_slug' ) !== 'gravityformsuserregistration' ) {
return $is_asynchronous;
}

return gf_user_registration()->is_update_feed( $feed ) ? $is_asynchronous : false;
}, 10, 2 );

Placement

This code can be placed in the `functions.php` file of the active theme, a custom functions plugin, or a custom add-on.
