Prompts tell the provider what to create. Text feeds have separate System and User prompts; image feeds have one image Prompt. All prompt boxes include Gravity Forms merge-tag support.
Insert A Merge Tag #
- Place the cursor where the form value should appear.
- Select the merge-tag button beside the prompt.
- Choose a field or supported entry property.
- Save the feed and test with representative values, including empty and unusually long values.
A merge tag is replaced on the server before the provider request. Post-submission feeds use the saved entry. Frontend feeds use the current successful controls in the form, including values on earlier pages of a multipage form. Passwords, files, nonces, actions, and plugin-internal controls are not serialized as ordinary frontend values.
Write Clear Prompts #
- State the task directly.
- Identify the audience and intended use.
- Define length and format requirements.
- State what the response must not do.
- Put submitted content after a clear label or delimiter.
- Tell the model what to do when information is missing instead of inviting it to guess.
- For a structured mapping, name and explain the desired values in the user prompt.
Avoid Prompt Confusion #
Do not put untrusted form content into the system prompt unless its role is deliberate. A visitor can enter text that attempts to contradict instructions. Clear separation and validation reduce confusion but cannot make arbitrary AI output perfectly deterministic.
Generated content should be reviewed before it is used for consequential decisions, sent to customers without oversight, or published as fact.
Sensitive Values #
Every merged value leaves WordPress and is processed by the chosen provider. The plugin does not automatically recognize or redact personal, health, financial, legal, or secret data. Insert only the fields required for the task and maintain appropriate privacy notices and provider agreements.
