Dynamic Confirmation Message Based on Lead Information

    I want to change the confirmation message based on the lead information submitted, but both gform_pre_submission and gform_confirmation only accept the $form variable and it seems by the time I get to gform_post_submission I am too late for the confirmation message.

    How can I get the submitted information into these functions?

    If I use the validation hook it triggers on page next, etc.

    Hi Lindsey,

    You're going to want to use the gform_pre_submission_filter. You can retrieve the submitted form values from the global $_POST variable and update the confirmation message in the $form object passed by the hook. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

    Thank you. This is what I am doing (but in gform_confirmation filter) for some of my own simple validation, but I need to change the confirmation message based on the response from my post to a third party and it is too difficult to go through this process with only $_POST. Is it too late at this point to change the message?

    Maybe I could still send an email at this point?

    Also, would it be better to use the pre_submission filter rather than gform_confirmation filter?

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Have you reviewed the documentation for the gform_confirmation hook? From your description, it meets all of your requirements. The entry details are available ($lead parameter) and it is specifically available for updating the confirmation message. Does this answer your question?

    Sorry, I forgot that had the lead. I guess I could move all my post processing from post_submission into that function.
