I'm still not sure I could handle it on my own, but I think this at least gives me a good start. How you pass the values makes a little more sense to me now; I think it's just a matter of how to interact with Podio's API now. There's documentation on that, but I'll see if there are more examples to draw from.</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/posting-submitting-form-data-to-3rd-party-service#post-35272 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:28:58 +0000 Chris Hajer 35272@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here's a rough example:</p> <pre><code>[php] // run only on form 6. if your form ID is different, change the 6 here to your form ID add_action(&quot;gform_post_submission_6&quot;, &quot;notify_podio&quot;, 10, 2); function notify_podio($entry,$form) { // first get the values you need from the form. // view the source of the HTML in form preview to find the IDs // field ID 1, part 3 for first name $fname = rgpost(&#39;input_1_3&#39;); // field ID 1, part 6 for last name $lname = rgpost(&#39;input_1_6&#39;); // field ID 4 for email address $email = rgpost(&#39;input_4&#39;); // integrate with podio.com // contact their API endpoint or something $podio_result = do_something(); // check the value returned from the attempt if ($podio_result == 1) { $success = TRUE; } else { $success = FALSE; } wp_mail(&#39;youremail@example.com&#39;, &#39;Podio Results&#39;, &#39;Email body here&#39;); }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/posting-submitting-form-data-to-3rd-party-service#post-35271 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:19:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 35271@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The gform_after_submission hook is available in 1.6, which has not yet been released (It's currently in beta. The documentation is a little ahead of the final release.) In the current production release, 1.5.2.8, a roughly equivalent hook is <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_submission" rel="nofollow">gform_post_submission</a>.</p> <p>Using any of the filters or hooks will be done in your current theme's functions.php file.</p> <p>A hook is used to run your code at that particular time. This particular hook is processed after the form is submitted, notifications are sent and entry is created. You "hook" your code to that action, so your custom code runs when that hook is executed.</p> <p>That's the high level overview.</p> <p>If you cannot use the form confirmation option of 'redirect', then you will have to use one of these two hooks to run custom code to interact with your external service's API. All your custom code will go in a function in functions.php, and you tell WordPress to run your code when the Gravity Forms hook is executed. Does that help at all? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/posting-submitting-form-data-to-3rd-party-service#post-35164 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:28:59 +0000 yannibmbr 35164@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey everyone.<br /> I'm trying to figure some things out about how to post form data from Gravity Forms to a 3rd Party Service, such as Podio.com.</p> <p>They have an API to interact with, so it's possible. </p> <p>However, I'm really not familiar with how to do this. Ideally, I'd like to learn to do this myself, but would be willing to pay for someone to do it for me.</p> <p>I see that there's some documentation on how to accomplish this here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a></p> <p>I'm confused by the example provided, though. Is this something that needs to be done in the functions.php file? </p> <p>Seriously lost and would appreciate some guidance.<br /> Thanks. </p>
