Hi, Mike! I’m sorry about the late reply, been pretty busy. 🙂

This is definitely possible and a perfect use case for Advanced Forms. You can set up a form with email notifications and select which field to get the recipient address from.

For saving the form data you could either write some code to create a new custom post type and save the data on a form submission or you could use the pro version which comes with this feature built-in.

To let the authors review the forms you could write a tiny bit of code to fetch all generated posts associated with them (my plugin only handles form related functionality).

Hope this helps!

Hi!

There is no filter to edit the args after a form has been submitted (that could potentially mess with a few things). The way I would do this is to simply hook into the af/form/submission action and trigger your own redirect using wp_redirect!

Here’s an example of redirecting if a certain field is a certain value:

function redirect_after_form_submission() {
  $field_value = af_get_field( 'field_name' );

  if ( 'REDIRECT' == $field_value ) {
    wp_redirect( 'https://google.com', 302 );
  }
}
add_action( 'af/form/submission/key=FORM_KEY', 'redirect_after_form_submission' );

Don’t forget to replace FORM_KEY with your form key. 🙂

That’s weird! You shouldn’t have to do anything else to activate notifications. Could you screenshot your form notification settings and send them here?

Thanks!

Hi! You sure can. A format that has worked for me in the past is: Company Name <email@company.com>!

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi! I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying AF 🙂

Your use case seems to be perfect for my plugin. One way to go about this is to use the pro version of my plugin. It comes with support for creating and editing posts automatically so you could save form submissions as a custom post type and then let visitors edit them again afterwards!

If buying the pro version is not reasonable you can of course achieve this yourself with a bit of code! My plugin has a filter called af/field/prefill_value which you can use to pre-fill form fields. You could hook into this hook and then retrieve the saved data from the database and populate your fields.

Hope this helps!

I’m sorry, on which page does it say lifetime updates?

Sorry about that! Will release version 1.5.4 soon also with the fix. 🙂

Hi! That’s a very nice solution and a common use case. AF Pro includes the ability to create and edit posts if you are interested!

You don’t need to use the add_post_meta function either. My plugin has a helper function called af_save_all_fields which can automatically save all fields to a post. Use it like this: af_save_all_fields( $post_id );

For future reference, the generated entries are actually regular custom post types and can be fetched using a regular WP_Query targeting the af_entry post type. The field data is saved as regular ACF fields and can be retrieved with get_field.

Glad you figured it out!
