Incorporate Gridfox into your ways of working easily by using Zapier to link Gridfox with thousands of other applications.
Set up and configure Zaps to allow Gridfox to integrate with your existing processes and tools.
Streamline your work processes with Gridfox Forms.
Gridfox Forms allow you to collect information from anyone, creating new Records in your Tables with each Form submission.
Forms work across all devices and can be embedded on your existing websites, and can be customised to match your company branding.
Forms can be used for many different purposes, for example:
Enquiry Forms
Feed new leads directly into your Gridfox CRM by embedding a Gridfox enquiry Form on your site
Staff Feedback
Capture feedback and ideas from your team by sending out a Gridfox Form
Event Attendance
Know who is going to attend your next event by asking attendees to complete a Gridfox Form
When exporting your Project data, you will now have two options for the type of export:
Export a Report
If you wish to share a snapshot of data with someone, you can use the report style export. This is available on Grid Views and will export the on-screen view of data.
Export & Import Data
If you want to add many Records to Gridfox, or make bulk edits to Records, you can use the Export & Import feature to do this. You will start by exporting the list of Records from the Table. You can then make any changes or additions required in the downloaded spreadsheet, and reimport the spreadsheet with the new data.
Gridfox becomes very powerful when you start linking Tables together.
Now, once Tables have been linked, you can include Fields from related Tables in your Workflow actions.
For example, if you have a Task management system where each Task links to a parent Project, you could include the Project Name and Status in a Workflow email for outstanding Tasks.
Fields from a parent Table and a grandparent Table can be included on Email and Google Calendar Workflow Actions.
Use filters to find exactly the Records you are looking for on your project Views.
If you have linked Tables together using a parent-child relationship, you can now filter on parent Fields on a child View.
For example, if you have a relationship between Tasks and Projects, where a Project has many Tasks, you could filter the list of Tasks by the Project Status.
Keep everything in sync with our new Google Calendar integration!
If you use Gridfox to store your events or meeting information, you can now use the new Google Calendar integration to send out invites.

After listening to our customers, we heard that people love the fact you can link Tables together to create relationships between the pieces of data in your custom app. For example, you can create Projects with linked Tasks.
Now when you are creating a Record, to create a new linked Record at the same time, simply click the New button next to the linked Table Field. Fill in the Fields, then click Save and both the Record and its linked Record will be created.
For example, when you are creating a new Task you can create the new Project the Task is for at the same time, rather than having to go back and create the new Project first!
