I want to install a simple sign up form on my site - which gives drop down access to many different reports depending on what the user wants to see. I want the form to capture their email address and name etc and THEN direct them to the info they requested i.e. a specific url on the site with the info they want. Can Gravity do this? Ps. I have a Wordpress.com site. Thank you!

Is Gravity right for me?

Gravity Forms would not be right for you as it does not run on WordPress.com which does not allow 3rd party plugins to be installed. Gravity Forms only works with self hosted WordPress installations.

Okay I totally got that wrong - I meant to say that I have my own self hosted Wordpress site, with its own domain.

Out of the box Gravity Forms does not do conditional redirects when the form is submitted. So there isn't a built in feature to redirect them to a specific page based on a selection they make in a drop down.
However, it would be possible to do this as a customization. You would have to create a custom PHP page template that reads a query string value passed to it (the report they selected) , create a page that uses that template, and then configure your form to redirect to that URL as the Confirmation Redirect URL and pass the value of the drop down field to it using the query string builder.
So it is possible to do what you described, but it is not a built in feature so it requires a customization to accomplish.
Conditional confirmation messages and redirects based on form field selections is a feature we plan on adding in a future release.

I will really look forward to that new feature being released because I can't find anything else that does that and it would be a huge bonus. Thank you!

PS. but I could save different forms for different topics and in the thank you message put all the details I wanted them to receive - yes? Then could I post just a one line link to the form on my website e.g. Get Homebuyer Tips or The Five Best Ways To Get Your Offer Accepted - the interested person clicks on the link and submits their email etc to get the report and then in the thank you email is the info. Would that work?

Yes, you could do what you want to do with multiple forms. If you had a form for each report you could send them the information via email as well as redirect to the appropriate page after they submit the form.

You can do this with Gravity Forms using conditional logic and HTML boxes. In those boxes you can add code to create buttons to redirect to specific pages or anywhere you want.
I set up a similar form but have since replaced it with a different method since I dont need to capture any info, I just needed it to redirect user based on choice.
Here is a sample http://realtyrealized.com/sample-form-picker/ and you can add fields that capture info you want to.
