Examples

Send notification after post creation

This example sends an email notification after the post has been created:

add_action('gform_advancedpostcreation_post_after_creation', 'after_post_creation', 10, 4);

function after_post_creation($post_id, $feed, $entry, $form) {
    GFCommon::send_email('[email protected]', '[email protected]', '', '', 'New Post', 'A new post was created.');
}

Update a post custom field with serialized GF checkboxes

This example updates a post custom field with serialized Gravity Forms checkboxes. It is useful for plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Types, and Pods where the values of the selections are stored in a serialized array. Update the form id and field id to match your form and field.

add_action('gform_advancedpostcreation_post_after_creation_1', 'apc_serialize_checkboxes', 10, 4);

function apc_serialize_checkboxes($post_id, $feed, $entry, $form) {
    // Checkboxes field id.
    $field_id = 18;

    // Get field object.
    $field = GFAPI::get_field($form, $field_id);

    if ($field->type == 'checkbox') {
        // Get a comma-separated list of checkboxes checked
        $checked = $field->get_value_export($entry);

        // Convert to array.
        $values = explode(', ', $checked);
    }

    // Replace my_custom_field_key with your custom field meta key.
    update_post_meta($post_id, 'my_custom_field_key', $values);
}
