Hello! I'm considering purchasing g.F to create a real estate portal.
I would like my users to be able to send an email (using a form) to other registred users from a certain geographical area (using specific user meta, perhaps).
Can this be made somehow?
Thanks!

Almost anything is possible with Gravity Forms and a little bit of customization.
Please explain what information you will have about your users and how it will be stored. Then explain how you would use that information to connect two users. With that information, we might be able to figure out a way to make it happen.
Thanks

well, i don't have access to gravity forms plugin, so it's a bit hard to answer...
I've seen that there is an addon called "user registration".
So, maybe, i can ask the user to imput their "region" from a drop-down list , storing the value in user metakey

Then, creating an inquiry form ,with a drop-down value, using that user metakey, sending an email only to the email address specified for the specific users metakey...

Yes, something like that is possible. If you use the User Registration Add-on, you have the ability to capture additional profile fields which are stored in the usermeta table. You can add a drop down pre-populated with regions that they could select from. So, no problem storing the information and then retrieving the information.
Now, once you have the region information for a user, you want to display all regions (maybe just all regions where you have existing members?) and another user can select a region and be permitted to send email to one, or all, members in that region? Assuming you can have more than one member in a region, selecting the region would mass email all members who have selected that region? Is that correct?
I think it's still possible with Gravity Forms (the first part certainly is) but I'm wondering about implementing the second part, where you allow members to email other members based on their region. That's not something Gravity Forms is designed to do, but I think anything is possible with some customization.
