This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
A Form includes a generic field, and the form notifications should be sent depending on the value of this generic field. How is that possible?
Solution:
The solution involves the use of the Toolset Forms API and some custom code.
Specifically, two hooks are used, cred_notification_event_type and cred_custom_notification_event_type_condition.
The first registers a custom type of event (distinct from the standard event types such as on submit), and the second performs some logic for the custom event and returns true or false depending on whether the notification should be sent or not.
Here is some boilerplate code that needs expanding to include such logic:
function tssupp_custom_notification($notification_type, $notification, $form_id, $post_id) {
if (
// Target the form and its notification
$form_id == 39 && $notification['name'] == 'Thing published'
) {
// Define a custom notification type
$notification_type = 'maybe_notify';
}
return $notification_type;
}
add_filter('cred_notification_event_type', 'tssupp_custom_notification', 99, 4);
function tssupp_custom_notification_condition($condition_status, $notification, $form_id, $post_id) {
if (
// Target the form and notification and the notification type
$form_id == 39 && $notification['name'] == 'Thing published' && $notification['event']['type'] == 'maybe_notify'
) {
// Perform whatever tests you want and return true (send notification) or false (don't)
$condition_status = true;
}
return $condition_status;
}
add_filter('cred_custom_notification_event_type_condition', 'tssupp_custom_notification_condition', 99, 4);

Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a CRED Form for updating a post. When the administrator 'approves' or 'denies' the post through this CRED form, they have the option send a notification email or not to the post author (the member who owns the post). I want that radio button for sending an email notification to be based two generic fields used in the CRED form: send-email-notification and approval-deny. That way I can have two notification emails, set, one for if they want the email sent and it was approved, and the other if they want the email notification sent, and it was denied.
Unfortunately when I do this, and choose 'When custom fields are modified' as the notification email setting, the field list is empty, so I cannot make it conditional on this.
Is there any documentation that you are following? Nope
Is there a similar example that we can see?
