All the developer docs are located here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs</a> I'm sure you can find a specific spot in the processing to run your code. newdirectionira on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38206 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:36:14 +0000 newdirectionira 38206@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ sorry, i must not be explaining right. forgetting the CRM, forgetting what the confirmation says, what exactly calls the confirmation? somewhere is something like "if submitted then show confirmation" what i am looking for is that conditional so i can make the confirmation happen after coming back from my CRM so what triggers the confirmation? where can i find that? thanks Chris Hajer on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38185 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:19:42 +0000 Chris Hajer 38185@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Without your external CRM at all: When you submit a Gravity Form, an entry is created, a notification is sent (if you configured it that way) and the confirmation is displayed. What appears in the confirmation is completely up to you. If you want it to say "thank you john" where john is the name someone entered into your form, then you would use a text confirmation, enter your "thank you " text, then a merge tag from the drop down, to insert one of the pieces of submitted data (in this case, first name.) That's how it works with Gravity Forms. None of that has anything to do with gform_after_submission or gform_post_submission. That event happens totally outside all the above happening. Does that clarify things at all? newdirectionira on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38174 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:57:29 +0000 newdirectionira 38174@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ i'm sure i'm not doing it the conventional way, but we have to input the info into a CRM on a different server so i am doing a form with hidden values, sending it to the other server, entering it into the db there, then doing a header:location back to the gravity forms site so what i'm wondering is what triggers the "thanks for submitting, john"? ideally, i'd put that in a session or something so the 3rd party db insert is seamless so i think i am asking a gform question - what makes the form say "thank you, john"? thanks Chris Hajer on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38142 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:47:01 +0000 Chris Hajer 38142@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I understand what you want, I think, but it's not related to Gravity Forms. I guess it depends on what the 3rd party/database is doing and how it redirects. Can you explain more about your situation? newdirectionira on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38135 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:24:23 +0000 newdirectionira 38135@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ hi, thanks for the response when i send it back, i want it to say, "thanks for submitting, john, an email will be there soon" or some such but now it goes back to the blank contact form i put the header back to a different page for now, but would rather have the confirmation you know what i mean? thanks Chris Hajer on "what array should i send to 3rd party and return, post-submit" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-array-should-i-send-to-3rd-party-and-return-post-submit#post-38132 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:06:53 +0000 Chris Hajer 38132@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ If you're using the gform_post_submission or gform_after_submission hook, your entry has already been created and notifications have been sent as well. What do you need to do after sending the data to the 3rd party/database? Gravity Forms is done with your form submission at that point.

Is that the version you're using? If not, gform_post_submission works nearly identically in versions prior to 1.6. Can you share any of the code you are using? It can't envision the scenario you're describing. Thank you.
