Hello,

You can try Forms action hook "cred_save_data", for example:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'build_post_title', 10, 2);
function build_post_title($post_id, $form_data) {
	if ($form_data['id']==123) {
		$field1_value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-field1_slug', true);
		$field2_value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-field2_slug', true);
		  
		$post_title= $field1_value . '-' . $field2_value;
		$slug = sanitize_title($post_title);
		wp_update_post(array('ID'=>$post_id, 'post_title'=>$post_title,'post_name' => $slug));
	}
}

Please replace 123 with your post form ID, replace "field1_slug" and "field2_slug" with your custom field slugs.
