Description

The Forms add-on connects UpStream with the Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, and WPForms builders, allowing projects, tasks, milestones, and bugs to be created or edited from forms published on the website’s front end. It is designed for those who receive client briefs or open requests without providing access to the WordPress dashboard, mapping form fields directly to project attributes, such as start and end dates, progress, assignees, and identification colors.

Key Features of Forms

  • Integration with three builders
    Works alongside Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, and WPForms already installed on the website.
  • Field mapping for entities
    Links each form field to an UpStream project, task, milestone, or bug attribute.
  • Project tree creation
    Submissions can generate projects with nested tasks and milestones, building the hierarchy automatically.
  • Anonymous visitor submissions
    Accepts submissions from both logged-in users and visitors without an account on the website.
  • Broad coverage of native fields
    Allows you to fill in start and end dates, progress, assignees, colors, and project details.

Benefits of Forms

  • Onboarding without admin access
    Clients can open requests through the website without needing a WordPress account or dashboard permission.
  • Reuse of existing forms
    Those who already use one of the three builders can take advantage of templates and validations already in production.
  • Less manual typing in the dashboard
    The internal team no longer has to manually fill out project cards.
  • Standardization of received briefs
    Required form fields ensure that every project enters the tool with the same data.

Who Is Forms For?

  • Agencies that receive client briefs and want to turn them directly into projects in UpStream.
  • Those who already work with Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, or WPForms and want to reuse that foundation as an entry point for requests.
  • Teams that open tickets and bugs from public pages without providing dashboard credentials to third parties.
  • Operations teams that need to standardize incoming tasks and milestones from external channels.

How to Download Forms

Forms is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. With UpStream and one of the supported builders already active, the field mapping configuration appears in the UpStream administration area.

By connecting request intake to a public form, Forms shortens the path between the client’s request and the task recorded in the tool, maintaining UpStream’s native structure without requiring external integrations through Zapier or intermediary spreadsheets. The result is a direct workflow, from form submission to the open card, with assignees and deadlines already filled in.
