Single-use Form

  1. Hi! Is this scenario possible with Gravity forms? We give a personal link to the form to a customer. He/She will fill in his address and submit it to us so that we can send a voucher through snail mail. That form (or link to the form) cannot be used again by the said customer to avoid multiple vouchers. How do we make sure that the form is used once per person?
    Thanks!

  2. You could simply set the "no duplicates" option on the email field to prevent duplicate submissions from the same email address. This only rejects duplicate email addresses though and doesn't do any IP blocking, etc.

  3. We want to distribute verification codes to persons who can use the form exclusively. We can enable the "no duplicate" option on a text/number field but how do we automatically validate if those codes are indeed ours?

  4. You would need to use the "gform_validation" hook to create a custom validation routine that validates the entered code against the codes that you've stored somewhere.
