# Update Based On Custom Field?

 * We want to update a post based on a custom field, specifically an email address.
   We’ve already made it a unique field in ACF but can’t figure out how to use this
   plugin to do something like this.
 * If they enter this email address, then I want to update the post that contains
   that email. Essentially we’re making a mini-CRM of sorts.
 * Any idea how we can do this?
 * Thanks,
    dan

 * I am not totally sure I understand. It sounds like it might be possible using
   gravity forms actions, but I am not sure exactly how at this time. I would probably
   need to know more, but it sounds like it is outside of the scope of this plugin,
   and would require a lot of custom coding.
 * You might look at using ACF’s `acf_form()` function to do this also. That can
   be a good way to create forms that are automatically tied to the post and use
   the same fields on the front end and back end.
