Here's what I did.<br /> I placed the {entry_id} in the message textarea in the "Notification to admin" section. I then called the content from the gform_pre_submission_filter hook like this:</p> <pre><code>$form[&#39;notification&#39;][&#39;message&#39;] = $form[&#39;notification&#39;][&#39;message&#39;] .&#39; &#39;. $email_body&#39;;</code></pre> <p>Where $email_body contains all my modified content and $form['notification']['message'] gets the entry_id.<br /> This is why I actually thought that the gform_pre_submission_filter hook was called after the data was stored in the db.<br /> Vayu </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-entry-id-in-gform_pre_submission_filter-function#post-32974 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:29:17 +0000 Carl Hancock 32974@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The entry doesn't exist yet when the gform_pre_submission_filter hook is fired. That hook fires after validation but before the entry is created. So there isn't an Entry ID yet. You'd have to use the gform_post_submission hook which fires after the entry exists. Although that fires after the notification is sent out. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-entry-id-in-gform_pre_submission_filter-function#post-32973 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:24:26 +0000 Vayu 32973@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi.<br /> I am using the gform_pre_submission_filter function to filter the notification sent out. However, I would really like to be able to get the Entry ID (entry_id), as this is used as an order number and it needs to show in the email.<br /> Is it possible to get the entry ID in this function?<br /> Thank you.<br /> Vayu </p>
