Trigger email notifications after Forminator_API::update_form_entry

Hello Patrick,

I am using the class and function you mentioned but the data sent in the notification is the “old” data, not the updated entry data. I have used the same code as in the plugin.

                    // this one is the code updating the field value 
Forminator_API::update_form_entry( $form_id, $entry_id, array( array('name'=>'hidden-3', 'value'=>"si") ) );

                    $error = '';

                    if ( isset( $entry_id ) ) {

                        $forminator_mail_sender = new Forminator_CForm_Front_Mail();

                        $entry                  = new Forminator_Form_Entry_Model( $entry_id );


                        if ( empty( $entry->form_id ) || ! empty( $entry->draft_id ) ) {

                            $error = esc_html__( 'Entry ID was not found.', 'forminator' );

                        }

                        $module_id = $entry->form_id;

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_id     = $module_id;

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object = Forminator_Base_Form_Model::get_model( $module_id );

                        // Emulate Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data.

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data = recreate_prepared_data( Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object, $entry );

                        // Emulate Forminator_Front_Action::$hidden_fields.

                        if ( ! Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object ) {

                            $error = esc_html__( 'Error: Module object is corrupted!', 'forminator' ) ;

                        }

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_settings = method_exists( Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object, 'get_form_settings' )

                        ? Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object->get_form_settings() : Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object->settings;

                        Forminator_CForm_Front_Action::check_fields_visibility();

                        $module_object = Forminator_Base_Form_Model::get_model( $module_id );
// printed data is the updated one
                        var_dump($entry);
//data sent by mail is the old one
                        $forminator_mail_sender->process_mail( $module_object, $entry );

Hello, thanks for your reply Amin and sorry for my delay.
I understand your mention about the custom coding being out of scope, but let me just correct one thing in your reply: you wrote “If only the modified field is injected using array_replace(), the notification conditions will not have the complete context of the submission” but in here

Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data = array_replace( Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data, $submitted_data );

$submitted_data is extracted from the entry

private function data_from_enty( $entry ) {
        	$post_data = array();
        	foreach ( $entry->meta_data as $key => $meta ) {

        		if ( ! isset( $meta['value'] ) ) {
        			continue;
        		}
        		$post_data[ $key ] = $meta['value'];
        	}
        	return $post_data;
        }

so it contains all data, not only the edited one.

The only way I’ve found to workaround the problem is to manually remove the conditions in the notifications ( in $custom_form->notifications before passing it as the first parameter of $forminator_mail_sender->process_mail ) but I don’t really like it (although it works) so if I need to pass the context as you said with another call like you wrote, could you enlighten me? Because I didn’t find any of it in the code.

Thanks again
