Can Gravity Forms do the following?:
- Someone enters a bio/profile
- Some of the fields populate a post (including tags on the post)
- Some of the fields are also used to populate custom fields in the database
- Along with the form submission, Email notifications to 2-3 addresses are sent out, each one with a different template (the addresses are a mix of static and dynamic/form field given addresses)
- Someone enters a bio/profile
- Some of the fields populate a post (including tags on the post)
These features are supported by default.
- Some of the fields are also used to populate custom fields in the database
This is possible using Gravity Forms hooks and a little custom code.
- Along with the form submission, Email notifications to 2-3 addresses are sent out, each one with a different template (the addresses are a mix of static and dynamic/form field given addresses)
Gravity Forms allows you to send multiple email notifications; however multiple templates are not supported. You are currently limited to a "notification" template and a "auto responder" template.

Ok, thanks...is that one notification template per form, or overall?
Assuming it's per form, maybe I could just break the process into stages and have a form specifically for the extra notification I need.
What I am trying to do is create a "submit a nomination" process that will:
- Inform me about the post (I am using Subscribe2 so this is already theoretically covered)
- Send an Email to the nomination submitter asking them to Email the nominee and let them know a nomination is on the way from my website so they don't throw it away as spam (this I could do with Gravity Forms in I have the baility to create a template for this form in particular)
- Send an Email to the nominee once the post has been approved and posted (not sure how to do this later if I break it up this way).
That seems to get me pretty close to what I need, does that sound workable with Gravity Forms?
That is one notification template and one autoresponder template per form. I'd break it down like so:
- Inform me about the post
Notification template on the form
Send an Email to the nomination submitter...
Autoresponder template on the same form
Send an Email to the nominee once the post has been approved
Use something like this to email nominee when the post is published.
