API PostMessage

Hello @fantou,

I hope things are going well for you.

The details mentioned above are quite unclear to me. However, let me share what I understood from it.

For example, if you want to transfer details from one site to app site and are using both ends of the Forminator form, you can avoid manual entry the second time by utilizing pre-populated form field values feature. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to configure this feature https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#pre-populate-form-field-values.

If you’d like something else, please share your goal and a better example of what you’re trying to achieve.

Is there already an “option” in Forminator for this ?

Currently, we offer some API Webhook Integration, which can be found here: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#integrations, Further for manual coding you can find more details here:
https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/.

Please let us know if you require any additional information or assistance.

Kind Regards,

Hi @fantou

Thank you further details.

We have different ways here, let me try to cover them so you can decide which fits better your need.

– Via Backend:

You can use some Forminator hooks, for example, if you want to trigger something after Forminator save the data in database you can use:

$entry = Forminator_Form_Entry_Model::get_latest_entry_by_form_id( $form_id );  

along

add_action ( 'forminator_form_after_handle_submit', 'function_name', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'forminator_form_after_save_entry', 'function_name', 10, 2 ); 

Params $form_id and $response

In app.mysite.com needs to have a POST endpoint to receive that data, you can use wp_remote_post function.

– Via front end

The API postMessage() can work in this case, you can trigger the Post message after the form submit, I believe the event described here https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#form-data-not-sent-to-gtm can help you. But I see this method would be too weak depending on your needs, the backend approach is a better idea.

– Via Webhook, Similar to first option you would need the app. to have an POST endpoint to receive the event request, the benefit of this approach is you don’t need to worry with the Form as it will trigger the data out of box, you just need to worry on building your endpoint.

You can test webhook data using https://webhook.site/

With that said, as Imran mentioned, creating the code would be beyond our support scope, but I believe the above gives you a better idea to how to proceed.
