I was unable to find it. Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prevent-entry-from-saving#post-8473 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 10:57:17 +0000 Carl Hancock 8473@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The only way this is possible is to use PHP to immediately delete the entry once it is created. If you search the forums I believe there is already a code snippet for this in another thread, i'd have to do some searching for it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prevent-entry-from-saving#post-8463 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 08:26:39 +0000 David Smith 8463@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Alex could probably answer this better than me, but the first solution that comes to mind would be simply deleting the entry immediately after the emails have been sent.</p> <p>If you're familiar with PHP you can use the <strong>gform_post_submission</strong> hook to get the ID of the entry that was just created and then you can create a custom version of the GF function <strong>delete_lead</strong> (found in forms_model.php ~ line 512). The reason you couldn't simply use the GF version of the delete_function is because it does a permissions check and most users who submit the form would not have sufficient permissions to delete a lead.</p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/prevent-entry-from-saving#post-8452 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:22:10 +0000 sakmaniac 8452@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a way to prevent Gravity Forms from saving data in the database once the form has been emailed? I was thinking of using this for clients to email their credit card info to me from a secure site and processing the cards in house. I just need the form emailed, not stored.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
