Then you could access the form at <a href="http://example.com/registration-form/?notification=false" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/registration-form/?notification=false</a> and no notification would be sent because of the gform_disable_user_notification function you added to your functions.php. You could also just embed the same form in a private/password protected page with the value for that field embedded in the shortcode, and then administrators who are making back end entries could use the same form, but on a new page, and not have to worry about the query string. Would that approach work? It does not appear that it's really easy to do, but I think it's doable.

Notifications are sent even when using the Preview functionality. We can look at adding an option to the Preview screen so you can disable sending of one or both notifications. Until we do this i'm not sure of an easy way around this problem. illuminea on "Can you add an entry to a form from the back end?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-you-add-an-entry-to-a-form-from-the-back-end#post-31293 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:42:00 +0000 illuminea 31293@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ The reason we'd want to enter entries from the backend is that if the form is set up to send confirmations, it will send one, and in cases where we're adding an entry manually, we don't want a confirmation to be sent to the user - it's confusing.

I'm not aware of another way. I like using the forms on the front end when I have to manually enter information for someone (like I took a handwritten entry for some reason, and I want it in the database with all the other entries.) It helps me see how easy or painful data entry in my form is. Please post what it is you're trying to avoid on the front end, and maybe we can help with another way of entering the data without using the front end. illuminea on "Can you add an entry to a form from the back end?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-you-add-an-entry-to-a-form-from-the-back-end#post-31265 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 06:54:46 +0000 illuminea 31265@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I suspect this is really easy to do, but for the life of me I can't figure it out - is it possible to add an entry to an existing form from the admin area of WordPress rather than filling out the form on the front end of the site? Thanks!
