I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible but am unsure what the right way to approach a specific issue might be. </p> <p>Currently, I've added a gform_validation hook, which validates the credit card and returns an authorisation code. I'd like to add that data to Gravity Forms in such a way that it </p> <p>a) appears in the email received by the customer<br /> b) appears in the admin area and can be exported as part of the general export functionality</p> <p>I've tried to use the gform_entry_created hook but the first issue I hit was that I couldn't see the Form Object - </p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_entry_created&#39;, &#39;update_txcode&#39;); function update_txcode($entry,$form) { echo &#39;&lt;pre&gt;&#39;; var_dump($form); echo &#39;&lt;/pre&gt;&#39;; }</code></pre> <p>The above code just returned NULL.</p> <p>I then tried manually updating the meta within that function (to see what would happen) -<br /> <pre><code>gform_update_meta($entry[&#39;id&#39;], &#39;transaction_id&#39;, &quot;ABCDEFG&quot;);</code></pre> <p>I could see the new data created in the rg_lead_meta table but couldn't see how to add it to the email or display it on the front end. </p> <p>I'd really appreciate if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or recommend a better workflow. </p> <p>Many Thanks.</p> <p>Michael </p>
