Documentation
How do I enable this functionality?
Easy Passthrough simplifies transferring entry data from one Gravity Forms form to another. Instead of spending time setting up dynamic parameter names and customizing confirmation query strings, you can passthrough data by setting up an Easy Passthrough configuration. Note: File upload fields are not supported by Easy Passthrough.
- On the form data needs to be passed to, go to the Form Settings page and click on the Easy Passthrough tab.
- Click the Add New button to create a new Configuration.
- Select the form you want the entry data to transfer from.
- In the Map Fields section, select what field on the current form should be populated from the field value of the source form. Fields on both forms that share the same name will be automatically selected.
- In the Map Meta section, select what entry meta from the source form should be populated into the target form. This can include the entry ID, entry URL, payment related data and more.
- Enable Conditional Logic if you only want an entry data to be passed through if it matches certain criteria.
- Click the Update Configuration button.
Feature Details
Easy Passthrough Token
Easy Passthrough allows for entry data to be transferred across multiple sessions using the special Easy Passthrough token. This token is a secret key, unique to each entry, preventing random users from guessing at the token and passing through entries they should not have access to.
Easy Passthrough token links can be added to both form confirmations and notification.
Adding an Easy Passthrough Token
Go to the Confirmation or Notification you want to add the token to.
Add the ep_token={Easy Passthrough Token} query parameter to your link.
For example, if your original link is https://example.com/getting-started/, your link with the query parameter should be https://example.com/getting-started/?ep_token={Easy Passthrough Token}. The {Easy Passthrough Token} merge tag will automatically be replaced with the token unique to that entry.
When the user visits that link, the entry will be added to their current session and usable by any forms that use that entry’s source form.
Passing Through Last User Submitted Entry
By default, Easy Passthrough passes through entries found during the current browsing session. To allow for long term passthrough, you can enable the User Passthrough option. When enabled, the last entry the currently logged in user submitted to the source form will be used instead of the most recent entry found in the browsing session.
Enabling User Passthrough is simple. When setting up Easy Passthrough, select the “Use logged in user’s last submitted entry” checkbox.
FAQs
Why aren’t my entries passing through?
Are you hosting with WPEngine? Due to WPEngine’s caching configuration, Easy Passthrough does not work right out of the box.
To use Easy Passthrough with WPEngine, contact their support them and ask them to whitelist the gp_easy_passthrough_session cookie for your site. This will allow Easy Passthrough to store the entries created during a browsing session and pass them through to other forms.
Known Limitations
- Easy Passthrough does not support File Upload fields.
