Email URL of current page

  1. Hello there, my URL is http://74.54.88.165/~rwatchi. I have created 'fixed' tabs on the right side of the screen. I would like to have the orange Email This Page button be populated dynamically with the current page URL in the Body of the email. This will allow users of the site to be able to share this page via email with their colleagues. I have been thru the Forum and Documentation but can't find the solution. I have tried many variations with no luck. Can you please provide some guidance and basic steps I can take to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for your time.

    You can use {embed_url} in your notification message which will have the URL of the page where they filled out the form. Also, it doesn't look like the orange button is a Gravity Forms thing.

  3. Thanks David!
    I understand the {embed_url} should be used to grab the url, but I'm new to GF and not sure of the steps. Could you provide a simple guideline? Just the basics, like 1) Create form using xx field; 2) Use Dynamic population to... 3) Etc. That would get me going in the right direction, thank you!

    The embed_url is only for notifications (the e-mail you send to users or yourself)

    - Create a Form with any fields
    - Submit the form
    - In notifications have the {embed_url} merge tag.
    - Your notification should have the URL the form was submitted from.
