Miss Fluent Forms Setting

  • Hello guys,

    I have a store that and I use Fluent Forms and Uncanny to provide few automations that I need.

    I set up an automation when users submit a form it’ll create a post (post type) that fill out some meta fields that I have. It’s already done and works. For Fluent Forms I use a native function (complement) called Admin Approval, which does exactly what it suppose, everytime a user submits a form it will be sent to the admin approval. So what I expect do have in this scenario: A user submits a form, it will be sent to the admin and once it’s approved, the recipe (automation) runs. However, it’s not what happening, since the recipe is running everytime the form is submitted, ignoring the fact that I should’ve approved it first.

    I used to have another automation plugin that I set up with same settings and it only ran the automation when I got the form approved, but unfortunetely I can’t make it possible with Uncanny.

    Is there any adjustments that I can run to make it possible? Or maybe alternatives ways!

    I already checked kind of things, like how to verify the form status, set the post to draft and later on set it to publish based in some condition, but I could’t find how to set the logic by far.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @ddmedia ,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    There’s no straightforward solution for this, so a custom approach is needed.

    The best possible approach, as you mentioned, is to create a post type with the submitted form details, setting it to “draft” or with a specific taxonomy. Then, set up another automation that triggers when the admin reviews and publishes the post or updates under that taxonomy, executing the necessary actions.

    Or, you can use a custom field to track the approval status and trigger the recipe using action filters, ensuring it runs only when marked as “approved, but you would need a custom solution.

    I hope you understand. Let me know if you have any questions

    Regards,
