Is that possible have two unique forms on the website and after I complete the first one and submit the information a confirmation message with a text and a link to apply to another form, if I click yes the link will take me to the other form and some of my entries already been populated, like name, address ?
It is possible? How?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi zx7md, you could do this many different ways, but basically, you could have it set-up using the "allow field to be populated dynamically" option on fields in your second form to have a check mark, and then in your confirmation message, when building your link to the second form, you could have merge tags relating to the values of the fields submitted. So like:
http://site.com/form2/?name={name:3}&phone={phone:5} and then if you have it set-up correct on the receiving form, it will take those values and put them in fields.
Read more on this here: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population
You'll have to give me more information, as I don't know what you mean by your last post.

Sorry David...
I have 2 forms on my website. One is for motorcycle and the other for a car.
I put on the Allow field to be populated dynamically:
(FieldParameter Name)
1:: First: first_name
2: Last: last_name
I made the url: http://www.mysite.com/my_form_name/?first_name={first_name}&last_name={last_name}
It is sending the data to the other form in the correct place but with this format " {first_name} {last_name} ". I thought will add the person real name and last name.
What I'm doing wrong? I notice I don't have an idea about the =value? where can I find it?
Thanks David!
The values would come from the first form. So they've filled out their first name and last name, and each field submitted has a merge tag. That is where that value comes from, as per the details in the link I sent you. If you could show me your two forms, that might help me better understand and provide suggestions.

I tried everything... The data is not passing thru another form.
The link ..../?first_name={first_name:1}&last_name={last_name:1} It just telling the field (Name and Last Name to be populated with {first_name:1} and {last_name:1} and nothing else.
My Settings are:
The Form ID 1 it has:
Allow field to be populated dynamically(?) = (not selected) and the Confirmation Message (text) with a link to the Form 2 : http://www.website.com/form_name/?first_name={first_name:1}&last_name={last_name:1} ( I think this format is wrong )
The Form 2 has:
Allow field to be populated dynamically(?) (selected) as Field Parameter Name = "First = first_name" and "Last = last_name"
What I'm doing wrong?????
Any help I really appreciate it
@zx7md, if you would like someone to log in and take a look at how this is configured, please send a WordPress administrator login to chris@rocketgenius.com and I can take a look at it. It sounds like a configuration issue: maybe something simple is missing.
I have your email and I will take a look at this today.
You have to use the merge tags from the drop down, not craft your own merge tags based on the parameter names. Your link looked like this:
http://example.com/page/?first_name={first_name}&last_name={last_name}
I'm not sure where your merge tags came from, but they did not come from the drop down. Maybe you typed them in manually?
I changed it to this using the merge tags directly from the drop down:
http://example.com/page/?first_name={Name (First):1.3}&last_name={Name (Last):1.6}
Then I submitted from the preview, and the second form was populated with First and Last name. You should have two test submissions from me. There is nothing else for you to do; it should be working.
It's on the form Settings page, Confirmation tab. There is a drop down called "Insert Merge Tag". Screenshot: http://minus.com/lAMc8psqJ7rUl
That is where I got the merge tags for your form. You made things harder on yourself than you needed to. The functionality is all present in the form builder.
You're welcome.
