Forms: 3rd-Party Inject Results

Description

Allows you to include results from a Forms 3rdparty Integration submission by flattening the response and inserting it within the original contact form submission.

Installation

1. Unzip, upload plugin folder to your plugins directory (/wp-content/plugins/)
2. Make sure Forms 3rdparty Integration is installed and settings have been saved at least once.
3. Activate plugin
4. In the newly available section “Inject Results” in the ‘3rdparty services’ admin, enter the flattened service response keys like Response/Body/SomeKey, one per line.
   a. If the response is JSON or XML it will scan the elements/keys according to the segments you’ve entered; in the above example it will look for { Response: { Body: { SomeKey: "foobar" } } } and include “foobar” with the submission.
5. Some contact form plugins only allow injecting/overwriting an existing field (e.g. Gravity Forms). In these cases you can provide an “alias” to overwrite with Response/Body/SomeKey=the_alias, where the_alias is the contact form field to override.
   a. With Gravity Forms, fields should be overwritten using aliases like input_X where ‘X’ is the field’s id.

FAQ

How does it add the response values?

If you have an endpoint test-response.php that will “echo” back your 3rdparty submission with keys altered to be prefixed with ‘req-‘, then if your submission was

{ name: { first: "FirstName", last: "LastName" }, email: "[email protected]", etc: "foobar" }

The response would be flattened and prefixed to

{ "req-name/first": "FirstName", "req-name/last": "LastName", "req-email": "[email protected]", "req-etc": "foobar" }

You would then inject req-name/first or req-etc.

What are some XML/JSON examples?

XML

[env:Envelope/env:Body/ns1:Response/ns1:Resultstatus] => foo
[env:Envelope/env:Body/ns1:Response/ns1:Result] => bar
[env:Envelope/env:Body/ns1:Response/ns1:Description] => baz

JSON

[Body/Response/ResultStatus] => foo
[Body/Response/Result] => bar
[Body/Response/Description] => baz

Note that XML responses will include the namespace prefixes. You may then reference them by the entire key shown above.

It doesn’t work right…
