Using GF to send confirmation that a page has been read (triggered by user)

  1. Hi,

    I'm investigating a client requirement to send an email to them when a site member clicks on a button to confirm they've read / completed the task on a particular page. I envision a form with hidden fields for subject ("I've completed [page title]"), their username and email address (from their WP credentials) and a visible submit button. There's a dozen pages in total and I'm inclined to put the form into the page template with do_shortcode? Is that necessary / feasible too?

    Thanks in advance, Karl

    I haven't ever tried that before, but it should be possible. Let us know if you run into any snags.

  3. Yeah, sounds reasonable enough, doesn't it? I don't have a Gravity Forms licence to try this for myself under localhost though so was hoping someone familiar with it might offer further insight.

    I don't yet understand if the parameter $field_values on the embedding a form help page and here is the key but not being a PHP programmer I was hoping GF could solve this for me with a minimum of stress.

    Cheers, Karl

  4. We can help you accomplish this after you have a Gravity Forms license. We'll help you in the regular support forums rather than the pre-purchase forums. It does not sound too difficult.
