I only wanted the notifications to be triggered once the payment had been authorised even though the Gravity Form completed before sending the visitor to the payment gateway.</p> <p>Basically I got around it by doing the following:</p> <p>1) Created a separate table in the DB to store email notifications (but could be stored against the entry if required)</p> <p>2) Using the GF hook: "gform_entry_created" I added the entry ID to the global $_POST array for retrieval later then added a new filter on wp_mail that captured the variables sent to wp_mail, stored them in the new database table (serialized) against the entry ID (fetched from $_POST) - 1 record created per notification email, and then blanked the array variables that are returned to wp_mail to stop it sending the emails.</p> <p>3) Using the GF hook "gform_after_submission" I removed the filter from wp_mail so that it does not affect future emails sent out</p> <p>4) When the gateway sent its response back to my site I grabbed all the stored emails for the particular entry ID from my BD table and manually called wp_mail() passing the variables - this was done in a loop as there were two notifications, Admin and User.</p> <p>This worked like a charm for me but I did not need to manipulate the email notification at all so it was quite easy.</p> <p>If you need example code then let me know.</p> <p>MJ </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-response-delay#post-79625 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:34:54 +0000 Chris Hajer 79625@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please do. I am thinking about a way to catch and queue the notification, or not send notifications and then programmatically resend them with WP Cron or similar. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-response-delay#post-79623 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:33:07 +0000 Alex 79623@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>thanks for the quick response. will take a look and if i find a solution i'll come back in here and share :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-response-delay#post-79622 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:32:05 +0000 Chris Hajer 79622@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is no way within the notification settings. Gravity Forms hands off the mail to wp_mail() immediately and it's sent out by the server immediately. You might be able to find a plugin which delays wp_mail() - I found this one but it looks pretty old <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-delayed-mail/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-delayed-mail/</a></p> <p>I'm not sure of another way to do it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-response-delay#post-79620 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:26:09 +0000 Alex 79620@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I was wondering if there was a way of delaying the auto responder function within notification settings? Would be great as I have a client who wants to portray that all emails are read within the hour.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
