Can't save a new service

    I’m using “Forms: 3rd Party Integration” in order to create forms, integrate with SalesForce and also to integrate with Google Analytics. However, i’ve got an issue with the plugin because at the moment, whenever I make any changes and press the save button, the changes are not being saved.

    There are no mapping values because the details are not being saved. Also, I could create a new entry, however it is not being saved.

    I can save other values in the plugin like the service values (Name, URL etc).

    I’ve tried to update the plugin to the latest version but the problem remained. I have 36 fully working services, however, when I add the 37th entry, I am only able to save the form name and the url.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts and this has been going on for some time now.

    Thanks in advance.

    Did you say you have configured 36 other 3rd party services with this plugin? Wow.

    But I’m pretty sure that’s why adding the 37th fails – the entire configuration is saved to one wp setting, which has a length limit. You’re running into that limit, so it’s truncating the last entry.

    There’s not really a fix, but would it be possible to reuse services across forms? You can select more than one form per service by shift-clicking each form name in the drop down.

    Yes, I have 36 configured other 3rd party services and they’re fully working correctly.

    Thanks for clearing up the length limit. Makes more sense now.

    I can’t really reuse services across forms since all forms are unique and I need a unique lead_source for each form. Apart from that, not all forms have the same textboxes to be sent over to salesforces so that would create other issues of values not found.

    Do you have any other alternatives please?

    If the mapping field isn’t present in the submission, it won’t get sent [source], so you could map form1-textbox-a, form1-textbox-b, form2-textbox-c, form2-textbox-d all in the same service and only ‘a’ and ‘b’ would show up when form1 is submitted, while ‘c’ and ‘d’ would show when form2 is submitted.

    If your lead is form-specific, you could add it as a hidden field (or any non-editable field you can hide with css) to the form itself and just map the lead field (rather than provide it as a value in the mapping setup).

    If I ever have time (v2, see here and here) I had planned on revamping how the services are saved to address this issue.

    Thanks for clearing that up, you gave me a number of ways in order to overcome this issue. Having the lead source as a mapped value is the way to go for me.

    For now, I will be working with this setup. Do you have any idea if there’s a limit to how many forms could be used across different services? What I mean is, is there a limit to have one service that maps to many forms?

    Thanks again!

    Glad I could help!

    Technically the only limit to the associations between service and form is the length of the serialized wp setting same as before. But since you’re drastically reducing the rest of the details, you should have a lot more space. So, I wouldn’t worry about that part.

    But please let me know how many you end up with, I’m curious ??
