Mapping fields from Ninja Form to GiveWP Form

[captainbitts]

Hello,

I am referred here by Premium support.

So, we are creating giveWP form using ninja form create post action. We follow this documentation https://givewp.com/create-a-peer-to-peer-fundraising-campaign-with-givewp/ to create giveWP form using ninja form Post creation Addon.
The documentation describes how we can map fields of giveWP and set meta_key and its value in ninja form.
For example, if we want to set the Goal Amount which is disabled by default on the GiveWP form, we use _give_goal_option as a meta_key and "enable" as the value in Ninja Forms.

We successfully created giveWP form and map few fields on giveWP from ninja form like _give_set_goal, _give_custom_amount_minimum, _give_goal_option, _give_form_template etc. We have new requirements on this action to add new donation email recipient. To add an email recipient there is a meta_key "_give_new-donation_recipient" which is not working.

So please let us know how we can add donation email recipient so we can add team captain as recipient on giveWP form to get notification emails. If there is any code snippet or we are using wrong meta_key?

To add an email recipient there is a meta_key "_give_new-donation_recipient" which is not working.

The _give_new-donation_recipient meta expects a keyed array:

'_give_new-donation_recipient' => [
    'email' => get_bloginfo('admin_email'),
],

This array is serialized for storage in the database:

"a:1:{s:5:"email";s:20:"[email protected]";}"

To set a custom recipient, you'll need to set the serialized string as the value of the meta:

"a:1:{s:5:"email";s:23:"[email protected]";}"

Note that in the above example s:23 specifies that the email address is 23 characters, which is how PHP parses the serialized string, so you can't just copy/paste and change the email. You will need to set the string character length as well.

Hello, Sorry for the late reply. I thought I had already sent this out. The issue we are having is that the email we want to dynamically insert into the form isn't fixed. It is an email address that the user inputs when setting up their team page. The form is this one: https://walknroll.americanstroke.org/create-your-team/ You can view the screenshots attached to see where the user enters their email and where that email address needs to go on the corresponding GiveWP Donation form. (If you have trouble with the attachments, let me know and I can send a Dropbox link to access them.) Let me know if you have any additional insights and questions that might help us resolve this issue. Thanks. Craig

After successfully creating/publishing the new post(give_forms) via Ninja...are you seeing a fully rendered donation form (including your goal amount, recurring, custom amount, etc/whatever meta values you passed from your frontend form, etc)? Do you have any other function that is automatically updating the new post/give_forms so that it does render fully on the frontend and populate the applicable database tables, etc?

[captainbitts]

Yes, we are seeing a fully rendered donation form including Title, Description, Goal, Featured Image and Amount, etc. You can check the screenshot attached to see the fields we are mapping from Ninja Forms.We need to add an email recipient in GiveWP form based on the email address of the person filling out the form, so we can add dynamic email on form not fixed or static. We need to add The _give_new-donation_recipient meta key to pass email toGiveWP. According to support this meta expects a keyed array and to set a custom recipient, we need to set the serialized string as the value of the meta:
"a:1:{s:5:"email";s:23:"[email protected]";}"But we need dynamic email from ninja form to each created GiveWP form, not a static email address to set for each GiveWP form. You can check support response on this.
