Hi - I'm going to be using Gravity Forms with AgentPress and what I'd like to do is put a contact form in each post which goes to a specific renter/landlord. Each property posting will have a different email address so I was wondering:
if there was an easy way to either define a specific email address for each contact form in each post or
connect a defined field in AgentPress to be the recipient for the gravity contact form?
Thanks!
Gravity Forms has a feature called Routing on the Admin Notification, however this works based on user selection. It sounds like what you want to do is store the agents name as a custom field for the post, and then send the email notification to that email address? Is that correct?
Pretty much. Essentially, what I'd like to do is associate each post (listing) with a specific email but they are not registered users or agents.
If I use a custom field to specify that email address, how can I connect it to a gravity form?
Thanks!
Sure, this is possible by storing the email in a custom field with the post and then using available API hooks and some custom PHP to tell the email notification to send to this email address.
Here is a forum post that tells you how to do this and includes a code sample:
http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-email-notification-using-custom-field#post-13617
You would place this custom code (after making your customizations to it, form id and custom field key may differ with yours) in your themes functions.php file.
Great - where would I get the api hook from? And, should I only utilize the code posted by bruner on that link you sent me or look at the code from here (http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-form-to-author-of-post) as well?
The code in that example uses the API hook. You would follow the directions in that post that was provided with the code sample.
You could also use the code in the post about sending form to author of post. It just depends on which you want to do. Send to an email stored in a custom field, or send to the author of the post. It's entirely up to you. Both will work depending on your use case.
