Multiple confirmation messages « Gravity Support Forums

I'm trying to create an eligibility screening form for a youth jobs program and am wondering if Gravity forms will work for this purpose. I'd need to have multiple confirmation messages to let people know that they either have or have not qualified for the program based on the results of their form.

Conditional email notifications are on our roadmap. We plan on completely overhauling the Notification system in the new year. Conditional capabilities are just one of many new features we plan on implementing.

We will also be allowing you to create as many notifications as you want for a form, each with their own settings and configuration rather than only being limited to an Admin and User Notification.

So, in this instance, you'd have to manually send an email notifying them if they've qualified or not based on their form answers.

I just want to add my vote for this feature. I need to send out different user messages based on a checkbox value. I'm adding code to the hook gform_after_submission, which works fine, but it doesn't provide a way for the site owner to modify the message ... hence I'm also creating a custom post type for that info. A lot of overhead for something that seems to my client to be so simple! :)

Plus one for this.
I have a "forward to a friend" type functionality that I'd like to use - e.g. on a registration form a user must be able to fill in the e-mail address of a friend. The original user must get their confirmation message, but the friend must get a separate e-mail.

If this is hackable in a different way I'd love to know (e.g. maybe through Campaign Monitor?)
Otherwise, do you guys have a timeline for this functionality?

All, we just released GF v1.6.4 Beta 1 that has some conditional message capabilities, check it out here:

I'm looking at this functionality now. Is it possible to use the same conditional shortcodes in other places, such as the form confirmation that people see after successfully making a PayPal payment?
```
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{educators:18}" condition="is" value="educator"]
[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{amount:21}" condition="greater_than" value="14"]
This person checked that they are an educator and they gave $15 or more.
[/gravityforms]
[/gravityforms]
```
Even with just the first rule, it seems to be ignoring the value in the checkbox.

Oops. Also meant to ask if conditional shortcodes could be nested for more complex options.

Another problem I've run into with this is that the custom value in my form is being ignored in favor of the label text:

<field allowsPrepopulate="1" id="18" size="medium" type="checkbox" enableChoiceValue="1">
	<adminLabel><![CDATA[educators]]></adminLabel>
	<cssClass><![CDATA[download]]></cssClass>
	<inputName><![CDATA[isEducator]]></inputName>
	<choices>
		<choice>
			<text><![CDATA[I'm an educator and I wish to download the educator curricula.]]></text>
			<value><![CDATA[educator]]></value>
		</choice>
	</choices>
</field>

outputs

<li id='field_6_18' class='gfield    download' ><label class='gfield_label'></label><div class='ginput_container'><ul class='gfield_checkbox' id='input_6_18'><li class='gchoice_18_1'><input name='input_18.1' type='checkbox' onclick='gf_apply_rules(6,["21","26"]);' value='educator'  id='choice_18_1' tabindex='10'  /><label for='choice_18_1'>I'm an educator and I wish to download the educator curricula.</label></li></ul></div></li>

Thus, [gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{educators:18}" condition="is" value="educator"] does not meet the condition while [gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{educators:18}" condition="is" value="I'm an educator and I wish to download the educator curricula."] does meet the condition.

Also looking forward to this update...

I'm trying to implement something as simple as if they chose whether they were interested in attending an event or not, they should get 1 of 2 different notifications...

mcdonna,

Can you throw some light on how exactly you are using gform_after_submission to send different email messages to different email ids? I need to implement this and can't find a solution anywhere.

Thanks!
