I would like to limit the number of submissions of a form. It might work like this :
- set number of submissions (eg. form can be submitted 10 times)
- if 80% reached, the site admin receives notification
- if 100% is reached, forms are send to an alternative receiver
Can this be done?
Kind regards,
Y
You can set a limit on the number of form submissions, but it will not dynamically change the notification email. You could combine some code and do this yourself, but it would require a bit of PHP to pull off. The hooks are built in to Gravity Forms to allow you to do this, but you can't do it from the Form Editor.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your fast answer. This is already good news.
Now the most important part... How to (and who can) make the changes into gravity forms in order to set up this functionality.
On the website there are several forms, each with their own max submissions. We should be able to change the number of submissions in a backoffice environment.
If the max submission is reached, the visitors of the site should still be able to use the form, but the form should be send to another mail address.
It would be great to see the max submissions / current submissions / submissions left of each form in one screen.
Should this functionality be implemented in the core of GF or by a GF add-on? Is GF interested in developing this feature? Perhaps as an additional (premium) add-on?
Kind regards,
Y
How, would be to use the hooks found here:

Who? Any developer that feels comfortable with PHP could probably get the job done.
You could set the number of submissions within the Gravity Form itself, but it wouldn't react the way you've listed without some additional coding. Usually, when Gravity Forms max submissions are reach the form closes, and a message is displayed notifying visitors.
This functionality you mention regarding max submissions / current submissions and submissions left sounds like the perfect thing for someone to create as an add-on. Our development cycle is pretty tied up right now and would probably be better if you hired someone or the community decided to develop.

Hello David,
Again, thank you for your fast response - do you guys ever sleep ;-)
Although not the answer I was hoping for... (but I can believe your developing cycle is rather tied up)...
Do you know any trustworthy developers with a good knowledge of Gravity Forms / PHP - or a community to look for those developers.
Kind regards and thank you for your information!
You can post your own job here to find help with your project.

Ha! No problem, Yves. Good luck with your project!
