The API call is currently being made user the 'gform_entry_created' hook. (btw, when I used 'gform_entry_created_2' the hook never fired)</p> <p>Is there a way to do this?</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/GcU3X8rg" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/GcU3X8rg</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-new-field-or-meta-to-admin-notification-email#post-53445 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:57:14 +0000 switchyard 53445@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there, I'm still working on this, is "gform_entry_created" the correct hook to use to edit the entry object before notifications are sent? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-new-field-or-meta-to-admin-notification-email#post-53305 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 18:29:55 +0000 switchyard 53305@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am trying to add the result of an third-party API lookup to the Admin Notification email. I've tried a few different ways and none are working. For these I depended upon hooking into 'gform_entry_created' so that the entry exists already when I'm trying to add my data.</p> <p>- Add a custom entry meta field to the entry, then display that meta field in the notification email<br /> - Add a hidden field (named: "Reservation Guid") and update its $entry[field_id] value to the value of my third-party API result</p> <p>With the custom entry meta method, it doesn't seem like my meta is ever attached to the entry, it doesn't exist in the email.</p> <p>With the hidden field method, it doesn't seem like setting the value of $entry['23'] to any value actually changes the value on the entry object.</p> <p>Here is my code snippet:</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/GcU3X8rg" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/GcU3X8rg</a></p> <p>using GF version 1.6.3.3.2 </p>
