    Is there an easy way to have it upload an image and post content and that image be its post thumbnail automatically?

  3. This isn't currently a native feature. It is something we plan on adding in a future release. It is possible to do now but requires custom code and the use of available API hooks.

    Here is an example:

  4. Hello

    Here is a simple code that makes a post thumbnail (featured image in Wordpress 3.2) from first photo attached to the post.

    add_action("gform_post_submission", "my_post_submission", 10, 2);
    
    function my_post_submission($entry, $form){
    
      # Here you should check if $form is the right form, otherwise it will work for all forms.
    
      $post = get_post($entry["post_id"]);
      $arrImages =& get_children('post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . $entry["post_id"] );
      if(is_array($arrImages)) {
        foreach ($arrImages as $attachment_id => $Image) {
          set_post_thumbnail( $post, $attachment_id );
          break;
        }
      }
    
    }
