So, from reading the documentation, in order to invoke this 'leadmanager' function to work in all my forms I need to add</p> <p>"add_action("gform_after_submission", "leadmanager", 10, 2);<br /> function leadmanager ($entry, $form) {leadmanager code blah blah blah}"</p> <p>To my functions.php (in my wordpress themes folder)?
