Usage

add_action( 'frmapi_post_response', 'frm_save_api_response', 10, 3 );

Parameters

  • $response (array)
  • $entry (array)
  • $form_action (array

Examples

Save a value from the response

After an API request is sent, a response is often returned. Use this example to save that response into a field in the entry. You must include a default value in this field (like 0) so it can be updated.

add_action( 'frmapi_post_response', 'frm_save_api_response', 10, 3 );
function frm_save_api_response( $response, $entry, $form_action ) {
  $returned_id = $response['body']['CHANGEME']; // this line will change based on the API you are sending to
  if ( $returned_id ) {
    FrmProEntryMeta::update_single_field( array(
      'entry_id' => $entry->id,
      'field_id' => 25, // change to the ID of the field to change
      'value'    => $returned_id,
    ) );
  }
}

Show the API response

Check the response from the webhook, and add a message to the success message shown after your entry is submitted. This is based on the status the API call returns.

add_action( 'frmapi_post_response', 'frm_get_api_response', 10, 3 );
function frm_get_api_response( $response, $entry, $form_action ) {
	$status = wp_remote_retrieve_response_code( $response );
	if ( $status == 200 ) {
		add_filter('frm_main_feedback', 'frm_add_200_to_message' );
	} else {
		add_filter('frm_main_feedback', 'frm_add_500_to_message' );
	}
}

function frm_add_200_to_message( $message ) {
	$message .= ' The API call was successful';
	return $message;
}

function frm_add_500_to_message( $message ) {
	$message .= ' The API call was not successful';
	return $message;
}
