That should do the trick for you. Here is our complete documentation on merge tags:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/generating-custom-url-based-on-dropdown-selection-confirmation-screen#post-99645 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:51:12 +0000 ascedia 99645@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi! This is great, I followed your instructions and have it ALMOST working exactly as I need. The issue is with the url output. I "enabled values" in the dropdown and put in the values I want appended to the URL, but even after those are saved, it's still only outputting the label, not the value.<br /> The URL it's generating is ?Light+Blue (the label in the dropdown)<br /> and I need ?ltblue (the value in the dropdown)<br /> Is there another option I need to enable for it to use the values instead of the label?<br /> Thanks for your help.<br /> Jamie </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/generating-custom-url-based-on-dropdown-selection-confirmation-screen#post-98425 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 16:02:16 +0000 Chris Hajer 98425@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can use a "Redirect" for your confirmation, and then build a query string which includes this value from your form. On the form settings page, click the "Confirmation" tab and then the radio button "Redirect." In the box, enter the base URL, the part which never changes. Then check the box "Pass Field Data Via Query String" and put the query string there. No need to begin with a <strong>?</strong> as it will be included for you. So, you might want to start with <strong>color=</strong> and then from the drop down, choose the field which holds your color value.</p> <p>When you create your drop down, be sure to check the box "Enable values" and enter your url-safe values there (like <strong>ltblue</strong> where the label is <strong>Light Blue</strong>).</p> <p>Does that accomplish what you need to do? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/generating-custom-url-based-on-dropdown-selection-confirmation-screen#post-98340 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:42:10 +0000 ascedia 98340@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like to create a custom confirmation screen with custom URL based on the item selected from a dropdown in the form. The confirmation message itself is not important, but that it generates the same URL each time is important.</p> <p>For instance, if the options in the dropdown are Red, Blue and Green, I would like the URL to look something like:</p> <p><a href="http://mysite.com/confirmation/?Blue" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/confirmation/?Blue</a></p> <p>Since some of the options in the dropdown may have spaces, I may need to predefine the url based on the options, like</p> <p>Blue = blue<br /> Light Blue = ltblue</p> <p>etc.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
