The {gv_magic_links} Merge Tag

The GravityView Magic Links plugin provides a merge tag that allows you to generate magic links for entry editing.

Basic Usage

The basic merge tag syntax requires a View ID:

{gv_magic_link view_id=123}

This will output a link with the default text "Edit Entry".

The merge tag supports the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`view_id`	integer	Yes	None	The ID of the View to generate the magic link for.
`post_id`	integer	No	View ID	The ID of the post/page where the View is embedded. If not provided, uses the View ID.
`text`	string	No	"Edit Entry"	The text to display for the link.
`format`	string	No	"link"	The output format. Use "url" to get just the URL without link formatting.

{gv_magic_link view_id=123} Output: <a href="...">Edit Entry</a>

{gv_magic_link view_id=123 text="Click here"}

Output: <a href="...">Click here</a>

{gv_magic_link view_id=123 post_id=456} Output: <a href="...">Edit Entry</a>

{gv_magic_link view_id=123 format="url"} Output: https://example.com/...

{gv_magic_link view_id=123 post_id=456 format="url"} Output: https://example.com/...

{gv_magic_link view_id=123 format="link" text="Click here"} Output: <a href="...">Click here</a>

You can use this merge tag in any Gravity Forms field that supports merge tags, such as:

The view_id parameter is required. If not provided, the merge tag will output an empty string.
The magic link will only work for entries that have a valid email address in the configured email field.
The link will expire based on the View's magic link expiration settings.
