Trigger email notifications after Forminator_API::update_form_entry

Hello,
I’m building an integration with an external system that is almost working. I have the external event sending a POST request to a page where I execute Forminator_API::update_form_entry to set the new value for a hidden field.
But here is my problem: I wanted to re-trigger email notifications based on the updated field of the entry but can’t make it work. I’ve found your code at https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-nebu/8156116010f009ab3a6823f74a24ecbe, but either the notification is not sent or the notification fields (all fields with {name}, not just the updated one) are all stripped.
Can you tell me if my idea is achievable and point me in the right direction?

Hi @danidada

I hope you are doing well.

You will need to use the Forminator_CForm_Front_Mail() class and then the process_mail() function.

But note that custom coding is outside our support scope, for that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/, if you need further advice about it, feel free to email [email protected].

Hello Patrick,

I am using the class and function you mentioned but the data sent in the notification is the “old” data, not the updated entry data. I have used the same code as in the plugin.

                    // this one is the code updating the field value 
Forminator_API::update_form_entry( $form_id, $entry_id, array( array('name'=>'hidden-3', 'value'=>"si") ) );

                    $error = '';

                    if ( isset( $entry_id ) ) {

                        $forminator_mail_sender = new Forminator_CForm_Front_Mail();

                        $entry                  = new Forminator_Form_Entry_Model( $entry_id );


                        if ( empty( $entry->form_id ) || ! empty( $entry->draft_id ) ) {

                            $error = esc_html__( 'Entry ID was not found.', 'forminator' );

                        }

                        $module_id = $entry->form_id;

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_id     = $module_id;

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object = Forminator_Base_Form_Model::get_model( $module_id );

                        // Emulate Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data.

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data = recreate_prepared_data( Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object, $entry );

                        // Emulate Forminator_Front_Action::$hidden_fields.

                        if ( ! Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object ) {

                            $error = esc_html__( 'Error: Module object is corrupted!', 'forminator' ) ;

                        }

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$module_settings = method_exists( Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object, 'get_form_settings' )

                        ? Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object->get_form_settings() : Forminator_Front_Action::$module_object->settings;

                        Forminator_CForm_Front_Action::check_fields_visibility();

                        $module_object = Forminator_Base_Form_Model::get_model( $module_id );
// printed data is the updated one
                        var_dump($entry);
//data sent by mail is the old one
                        $forminator_mail_sender->process_mail( $module_object, $entry );

Just to get you an update on the code I’m testing. Now it reflects new value on email notification content BUT it doesn’t fire if there is a condition based on the updated field value.

//the update
Forminator_API::update_form_entry( $form_id, $entry_id, array( array('name'=>'hidden-3', 'value'=>"si") ) );

                    $error = '';

                    if ( isset( $entry_id ) ) {

                        $get_data_from_entry = $this->data_from_enty($entry);

                        $submitted_data = Forminator_Core::sanitize_array( $get_data_from_entry );

                        // Send email.

                        $custom_form = Forminator_Form_Model::model()->load( $form_id );

                        if ( ! is_object( $custom_form ) ) {

                            $error .= json_encode(

                                array(

                                    'message' => apply_filters(

                                        'forminator_draft_invalid_form_id',

                                        esc_html__( 'Invalid form ID.', 'forminator' ),

                                        $form_id

                                    ),

                                )

                            );

                        }

                        $forminator_mail_sender       = new Forminator_CForm_Front_Mail();

                        $draft_entry                  = new Forminator_Form_Entry_Model( $entry_id );

                        // just to check var_dump($draft_entry);

                        Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data = array_replace( Forminator_Front_Action::$prepared_data, $submitted_data );

                        $mail_sent                    = $forminator_mail_sender->process_mail( $custom_form, $draft_entry );


                    }

Can you please tell me what I am missing? Just ANY condition stop the notification from being sent, also for fields that wasn’t updated.
