Hi,

So far I have been very impressed with Gravity and I only started using it this week :).

Is it possible to create a form with an automatic submit...in other words, a form where the user does not see the information (hidden fields with dynamic population) and it is automatically submitted - the information is stored in the GF database in WordPress?

The situation that I am trying to cater for is the following:
1. Purchaser completes an order form on our site.
2. The completed form gets sent to a third party payment processor using gform_post_submission.
3. Then the payment processor sends back a confirmation form with the details of the successful payment. I would like to use GF to capture this information from the confirmation without a user having to do anything.
4.The user gets directed to a confirmation page.

I have no problems doing 1,2, and 4 with GF. Please can someone give me some help with 3.

Hi Trish,

I'm actually not 100% sure on Step 3. I passed some of my thoughts along to our lead developer who will confirm and I will get back with you either late tonight or early tomorrow morning (he's in a different timezone).

Thanks!

Hi,

I am just bumping this post...making sure it doesn't get lost in the timezone vortex :)

The only solution we could think of to automate this without getting into far more complex solutions, is to just add a bit of jQuery to trigger the form submission when the page is loaded. Something like this:
```
<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

    jQuery('form#gform_20').trigger('submit');

});

</script>
```

Thanks!

I will give it a shot and let you know how it turns out.

That works really well. How would I add some code that stops the javascript if there is an error in the form submission. Currently, it just keeps trying to submit.
Thanks
Alexander
