Can you describe where the dynamic information comes from, and how it's related to the original entry and the payment status? What makes it dynamic? </p> <p>Maybe there is a way to do what you want using two forms, or hidden fields in one form, then resending the notification after payment is received. Thank you for any additional information you can provide. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-field-population#post-77270 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:13:41 +0000 robin balmforth 77270@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>hi there,</p> <p>we're using gravity forms to allow our car club members to register for an event. you can see the form here: <a href="http://www.mgcaledonian.com/?gf_page=preview&amp;id=41" rel="nofollow">http://www.mgcaledonian.com/?gf_page=preview&amp;id=41</a></p> <p>we'd also like to use gravity forms to notify members if their registration has been successful following receipt of payment for the event (an offline process).</p> <p>the sequence of events would go something like this:</p> <p>1. user completes booking form<br /> 2. user makes payment to club using entry ID as a unique reference number<br /> 3. club treasurer checks bank statement, takes entry ID and enters it into a gravity form<br /> 4. gravity form dynamically populates the other fields in the form with all other details<br /> 5. form notification delivers email confirmation message to club member</p> <p>any help or advice would be much appreciated,</p> <p>robin </p>
