However the entry data has to be saved long enough for the emails to be sent because the emails send using the entry data, not the form post data. This is so it gets the data after any hooks/manipulation has been done. But then after the email is sent you can automatically delete the entry.</p> <p>Here is a forum post that discusses this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/purposefully-not-save-form-in-entries-database#post-15601" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/purposefully-not-save-form-in-entries-database#post-15601</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/bypass-database#post-25240 Tue, 10 May 2011 16:49:46 +0000 developdaly 25240@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've got a form accepting some confidential information the client wishes not to store on the database. Is there a way to bypass the database and ONLY send the emails? </p>
