dynamically change FROM email for user notification

  1. I was wondering if there is a way to dynamically change the FROM email address for a user notification for a form. I would like to have the from address match the TO email address for the admin notification, which I have set up using the routing feature for the admin notification. In the documentation I only see filters for changing TO email addresses.

    There isn't currently a way to change the from address to match the TO address in either type of notification we provide.

  4. I think it is possible to change the "From" address. See the documentation on the notification here:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Notification

    You could use the gform_pre_submission_filter: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter

    In the example on that page, you can change the "From" email address by changing line 14 to this:

    [php]
    // this presumes that input field 4 holds the email
    // address you want to use as the FROM
    // address for the admin notification
    $form['notification']['from'] = rgpost('input_4');

    or

    [php]
    $form['notification']['from'] = 'scott@sellinggreaterlouisville.com';

    Does that accomplish what you're looking for?

  5. I don't think so. I'd like to have the user notification email to be able to be changed. Not the from email for the admin.

  6. So you would like to make the From address for the User notification identical to the From address for the Admin notification? Is that accurate? You can do it in the same manner, but instead of

    [php]
    $form['notification']['from'] = rgpost('input_4');

    you would do something like

    [php]
    $form['autoResponder']['from'] = $form['notification']['from'];

    Documentation for the autoResponder (user notification):

  7. Chris, how would I go about doing this for all forms on a site? Would I have to tie this into one of the hooks?

  8. You would use the gform_pre_submission_filter as I mentioned here. Your code will look like this:

    [php]
    add_filter('gform_pre_submission_filter', 'admin_email_from');
    function admin_email_from ($form) {
        $form['autoResponder']['from'] = $form['notification']['from'];
        // return the modified form object
        return $form;
    }

    Using the filter that way will apply to all forms on your site.
