About Formidable Form Action Automation 2.04

Formidable Form Action Automation is a WordPress add-on for Formidable Forms. Formidable lets each form run actions after submission, such as sending emails or creating posts, and this add-on is meant to automate those actions further. It does nothing without the Formidable Forms plugin installed and active.

The listing says very little beyond the name, so check the documentation in the package for exactly which actions it can automate and how it is scheduled. The file on record is version 2.03 from January 2020, although the product title says 2.04. Test it on a staging site with your current WordPress, PHP and Formidable versions first.

Requirements

Formidable Forms plugin

Key features

Formidable add-on: Extends the form actions that Formidable Forms already provides.
Automation of form actions: Built to run form actions automatically rather than only at the moment of submission.
Works inside the form settings: As a Formidable add-on, it is configured alongside each form's own actions.
No separate form builder: It reuses your existing Formidable forms instead of replacing them.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Sites that already build their forms with Formidable Forms
Site owners who want follow-up actions to happen without manual work

Look elsewhere if

Sites that use another form plugin, since this only extends Formidable
Anyone who needs a form builder on its own

How to install Formidable Form Action Automation 2.04

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Notes for this product

Install and activate Formidable Forms first, then activate this add-on. The listing doesn't state which Formidable versions it supports, so check the documentation in the package.

Setup: using Formidable Form Action Automation 2.04

Activate Formidable Forms. Make sure the main plugin is installed and working, with at least one form.
Activate the add-on. Install this plugin from Plugins, then open the form you want to automate.
Open the form's actions. In the form settings, look for the new automation options next to the existing actions.
Test with a real submission. Submit the form on a staging site and confirm the automated action fires as expected.

Common problems and fixes

The add-on activates but no automation options appear

Why it happens: The Formidable Forms plugin is missing, inactive, or too new or old for this add-on file.
How to fix it: Confirm Formidable Forms is active, then test on staging with a Formidable version close to the add-on's date.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
