Problem: I would like to send an email notification when my CRED form is submitted. In that notification, I would like to include information about the page where the CRED form was displayed.

Solution: Capture the current page ID in a generic field, and use the cred_save_data hook to store it in a custom field on the post created by CRED.

First, add a generic hidden field to your CRED form.

[cred_generic_field field='currentpageid' type='textfield' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":"[wpv-post-id]"
}
[/cred_generic_field]

Next, add a custom field to the post type that is created by your CRED form. Make the slug of this field something unique.

Then add this code to functions.php:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'save_parent_link',10,2);
function save_parent_link($post_id, $form_data)
{
 
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==550)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['currentpageid']))
        {
            $parent_link = get_permalink($_POST['currentpageid']);
            update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-customfieldslug', $parent_link, true);
        }
    }
}

Modify the 550 to match your CRED form ID. Modify wpcf-customfieldslug to be wpcf- plus your actual custom field slug.

Create some test posts using CRED. This will enable the custom field in your CRED email notification field selection area.
