Our gform_pre_render hook is what you'll need to pre-populate fields. Our documentation for this hook is pretty good. You'll have to find tutorials on grabbing custom user meta from other sites though. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-user-date-with-form-submission-and-pre-populate-form-fields-with-data#post-289617 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:24:15 +0000 redbranchmedia 289617@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply! I would be using the Wordpress user data, so I imagine it would be in the wp_users or wp_usermeta table? I'm fairly familiar with PHP, but might need guidance in writing the hook to pre-populate that data. I don't know how much guidance Gravity Forms can provide though. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-user-date-with-form-submission-and-pre-populate-form-fields-with-data#post-289587 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:04:42 +0000 David Peralty 289587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there! </p> <p>You would have to have fields for the logged in user data to go, but yes, using merge tags in the default value, you can have this work as expected. </p> <p>Where would the data (address) be stored? You can pre-fill anything using our gform_pre_render hook, but you would have to custom code the ability to grab that information and pass it to the fields you want it in. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-user-date-with-form-submission-and-pre-populate-form-fields-with-data#post-289560 Thu, 30 May 2013 10:46:43 +0000 redbranchmedia 289560@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just wanted to bump my own post. Any answers on this? I was hoping to find a solution I could install and implement by the end of the week.

First, for a logged-in user, when a user submits the form, is it possible to have the form automatically submit the user data (email address, name, etc.)?</p> <p>Secondly, Is it possible to use this data to pre-populate portions of the form like email address, name, etc? Thanks! </p>
