So far, we don't have enough information. Can you tell us how the email address is stored? Normally, it would be in the post meta table. If that is true, we need to know the meta key, and then need the post ID, and we can grab the value and show you how to use it here. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pulling-a-custom-field-from-a-different-post-to-notification-space#post-66551 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:43:28 +0000 ktrusak 66551@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Does anyone know how to format line 3 of this, I pulled the rest from another forum post, but I am pretty terrible with php and couldn't get that line to work right:</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;gform_notification_email_X&#39;, &#39;route_notification&#39;, 10, 2 ); function route_notification($email_to, $entry) { $post-&gt;2; $email_to = types_render_field(&quot;email&quot;, array(&quot;raw&quot;=&gt;&quot;false&quot;))); return $email_to; }</code></pre> <p>To clarify I am trying to pull a custom field (email) from a custom post type profile page in to the notification email box. </p>
