Included with the GravityView Galactic License, but GravityView not required.

The best way to import CSV Gravity Forms entries

If you have a CSV file and need that data imported into Gravity Forms, you need this plugin. In three steps, you’ll have your CSV file imported into Gravity Forms as entries:

Upload your file
Map the CSV columns to Gravity Forms fields
Press the import button!

The plugin features include:

Import Gravity Forms Entries Export files – Also import any CSV or TSV file
Conditional Logic – Filter the entries you import based on their values
Create Posts during import
Advanced validation – entries won’t get created if validation fails
Required field support – Only import entries that have your required field (or turn it off)
Download import errors to a CSV – One of the most frustrating parts of importing is when your import generates errors that need to be fixed. Someone typed in gmail and forgot the .com, for example. If your import has errors, you can download a CSV that includes only the rows with errors.
Update existing entries – If you want to bulk update entries, this is a great way to do it! Export your entries from Gravity Forms, change some items, then re-import them.
Works with User Registration Addon – Create or update users when used with the User Registration Addon
Import Excel files into Gravity Forms – just export your Excel as CSV, then import into Gravity Forms

Has support for most field types, including:

File Uploads – Supports single and multiple File Upload fields.
Post Fields, including Custom Fields and Post Image
Entry Notes – Add notes to imported entries, and even assign an user as the note creator
