Here is a good example of how to create a custom merge tag:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/math-calculations-on-confirmation-page#post-49109" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/math-calculations-on-confirmation-page#post-49109</a></p> <p>And here is the official documentation:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_replace_merge_tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_replace_merge_tags</a></p> <p>As part of the custom code to replace your merge tag with the desire value, you can use PHP's strtotime() function and add +7 days to the current date:</p> <p><a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-dynamic-date#post-48668 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:47:44 +0000 scott74 48668@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I created a form for referrals.. basically a current customer referrs a friend.. The friend gets a notification that so and so referred them to the business ,. they are instructed to print the email and bring it in to redeem.</p> <p>I need a way to ad a date that get dynamically populated like 7 days from the day they receive the email...</p> <p>I had a sms plugin that would do this.. the person would text pizza to this number and it would text them back a coupon.. if i put in [[7:date]] in the reply body to the text , it would automatically say, this expires on Feb "whatever 7 days is here based on the day they received the text"</p> <p>Can this be done with gravity forms?? </p>
