    I've looked all through the site forums and features, and I can't find anything regarding what functionality/settings the forms can do upon submission.

    Are users redirected to a specified page? Are they presented with a thank you message?

    I'm looking for readers of a specific blog post fill out a form, hit submit, and be directed to a download.
    I have many products though, so I've been looking for a solution that would allow me to direct users to a different location from every post/product I create. Sound possible? Make sense?

    What happens when the form is submitted is configured in the Form Settings, specifically under the Confirmation tab of the Form Settings. Documentation for the Form Settings can be found here:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Form_Settings

    The form can either show a Confirmation Message that you configure in the Form Settings, or it can redirect to a WordPress page or redirect to a 3rd party URL and pass form field data to that 3rd party URL via the query string.

    A form only has one confirmation setting. It is not conditional, which means you can't show different messages or handle the confirmation differently based on form field selections. Conditional confirmations is a feature we plan on adding later this year.

    ok, that makes sense. Could this be a potential work around:
    I create form-1 located on blogpost-1 that sends someone to url-1, and well as form-2 located on blogpost-2 that sends someone to url-2

    I may need about 50-60 "forms" in a years time that are identical, just sends users to different locations after submission.

    Yes, you could create a form for each one.

    Or you could create a custom confirmation page that handles displaying the correct content based on a form field selection made on the form. You could use the URL Redirect to redirect to this custom confirmation page, pass the value of the form field that determines what they are going to download in the query string and then read that value and display the appropriate content using custom code.

    Thanks Carl. That's cool it can do that. I'm not exatly sure if it'll work for this specific instance though.

    Technically, the user would have already selected the product they want by navigating to the blog post of their choice, so they won't be choosing again what they want to d/l via the form. Just entering in an e-mail and maybe their name. I just want the page their confirmation page to correlate to the post/product they chose.

    Hi Guys

    This is exactly what I need to do, can you point me to any resources on how to pass on the field information to the redirect page and to setup the page that will then display information based on the value of the field?

    THANKS!

    cheers

    Create a standalone PHP page that reads the query string value, and then uses PHP to redirect to the appropriate URL. I would suggest reading up how to read from the query string, and then how to do a switch/case statement for that value and then how to properly do a redirect.

    @watchlooksee, please start a new support topic if you still need help with this as this was a pre-sales question initially and will be closed. Thank you.
