What hook / filter should I use? « Gravity Support Forums

I'm using GravityForms to create a post when a form is submitted, and using custom fields for it.

I need to find a hook or action to use that runs /after/ the post is created (in forms_model.php @ public static function create_post($form, &$lead) ) -- AND the add_meta_value() calls all finish running. I had been trying off publish_post -- but that's a no-starter, as it runs before the custom fields are inserted!

Is there some 'cleanup' hook that I could tag onto? Ideally before headers are sent, but either way would be fine at this point.

I would just tie onto the same hook that the form catcher uses, but at a lower priority, except that if the form redirects after accepting the submission -- I believe the catcher would just redirect and die, so my code would never actually happen.

I've forwarded your request to the developers.

Does the gform_after_submission hook allow you to do what you want? The post and entry have already been created at that point, but I might be unclear on exactly what makes this hook not appropriate in your case. Thanks.

Nope, no reason whatsoever. That works perfectly. I just was running backtraces in the code and couldn't find it.

Thanks!

Great. Here I thought it might be more difficult than that and was ready to learn! Thanks for the update.
