Completion of form following acceptance

  1. Hello,

    Is the following possible?
    I need an application form which requires acceptance by an administrator. Following acceptance, an email would be sent out providing the url of the second part of the form.

    All of the info from both forms would be available to view as one entry.

    Thanks in advance.

  2. The first part is doable but I'm not certain exactly what you gain. If someone submits the form which needs to be accepted, you can review that entry and then either send a link to the second for, or send them a rejection notice that they were not approved.

    For the second part, you could pre-populate the values which were submitted in the first form when you send your link. Then you can ignore the entries for the first form (the one where you accepted or rejected) and just focus on the entries for the second form, which will all be accepted entries.

    Does that help at all?

    Gravity Forms is not set-up to allow this currently. The closest you could get would be to have two forms with the same reference ID or something. As for the acceptance part, there isn't a way currently to do this either. Notifications only fire on submission of a form entry, and there isn't currently a way to stop this process, or put it on hold until an admin approves it.

  4. Thanks - yes I think so.

    How would the second form pre-populate the fields? These would be specific to each applicant, so would it call them up if the name and date of birth perhaps?

    You could create an ID that is included in the first form in a hidden field. Then include that ID in your notification e-mail to work on the next step. Have a hidden field in your second form pre-populate with the ID. Then you can match based on the hidden ID.

  6. Sounds good, if a little complicated.

    I'm not sure how I would create an ID in form one that is unique to that applicant?

    Have you got any examples of this?

  7. There are examples posted but you will not be able to access them until you become a full member. Here is one example: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id

    Here is some code but with no supporting documentation: http://pastie.org/1398955

    As you can see though, it's entirely possible.
