How to Set Up GP Easy Passthrough

Setting up GP Easy Passthrough is a straightforward process. After installation and activation, users can create Easy Passthrough feeds across any form. The setup process involves creating specific feed configurations that specify how data should flow between forms.

Utilizing the Easy Passthrough Token

A significant highlight of GP Easy Passthrough is its Easy Passthrough Token. This unique identifier allows users to transfer entry data across sessions securely. The token serves as a protective layer, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data during the passthrough process. This secure data handling bolsters user confidence and increases the overall integrity of data management.

To integrate an Easy Passthrough Token in confirmations or notifications, users would simply include the following parameter in their desired link: ep_token={Easy Passthrough Token}. Utilizing this feature successfully ensures that as users follow that link, their entry data is seamlessly integrated into their current session, where it can be utilized in any related forms.

Managing Existing Entries with Tokens

The GP Easy Passthrough capabilities extend to existing entries. A helpful feature called the Easy Passthrough Token Backfiller allows users to retroactively employ passthrough tokens on previously submitted entries. Users would navigate to the plugin’s page, download the necessary files, and follow the prompts to backfill entries. This enables leveraging Easy Passthrough for enriching the user experience even on data already submitted.

User Passthrough for Last Submitted Entry

The plugin’s intelligent design includes an option called User Passthrough, which can improve user experiences significantly. By enabling this feature, the last entry submitted by a logged-in user serves as the basis for transferring data instead of relying solely on current browsing session entries. This flexibility is particularly useful for users who might work across different sessions without losing valuable information.

Selective Data Transfer with Conditional Logic

A standout feature of GP Easy Passthrough is its ability to selectively pass entries through forms based on set conditions. With Conditional Logic activated, users can choose to pass entries that fit specific criteria rather than sending all available entries through. This aspect enhances the customizability and relevance of the data being managed, ensuring that only pertinent information is utilized in the process.

Known Limitations to Consider

While GP Easy Passthrough offers extensive capabilities, there are certain limitations that users should be aware of:

• The plugin does not support File Upload fields, meaning file data cannot be passed through forms using this feature.
• Data cannot be passed from forms using the Gravity Forms Save & Continue token.
• The Stripe credit card field is also excluded from data passthrough due to its encryption methodology.

Awareness of these limitations is crucial for users intending to use GP Easy Passthrough, ensuring expectations are appropriately aligned.

Accessibility and Language Support

For users who require translations for the GP Easy Passthrough plugin, the Loco Translate plugin is available as a free option. This tool can provide critical support for users working within multilingual environments.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with the best tools, users may run into challenges during implementation. For instance, users hosting with WPEngine may encounter issues due to their caching configurations. WPEngine users are advised to reach out to customer support to whitelist the gp_easy_passthrough_session cookie to allow smooth functioning of the plugin.

Another common question pertains to passing through entries solely when an ep_token is present. Users can address this through the gpep_bypass_session_init hook, enabling them to create flexible passthrough conditions based exclusively on token availability.

Integrating Hooks for Advanced Functionality

The power of GP Easy Passthrough is heightened through its integration with numerous hooks. Some notable hooks include:

• gpep_active_feeds
• gpep_delete_cookie_on_logout
• gpep_disable_same_form_passthrough

Users looking to capitalize on Gravity Forms’ flexibility can dive deeper into the functionality through the Gravity Forms Hook Reference for comprehensive guidance on various actions and filters available.

Real-World Application Examples

• Editing Entries: GP Easy Passthrough can simplify the process of editing entries on the front end, enhancing user interactions with submissions.
• Data Population Between Forms: Seamlessly populating entry data across forms helps maintain consistency and reduces redundancy.
• Follow-Up Interactions: The ability to pre-fill information in follow-up forms streamlines user interactions and encourages engagement.

In conclusion, GP Easy Passthrough is an invaluable tool for those managing multiple forms through Gravity Forms. Its seamless implementation saves time, enhances security, and provides robust support for data transfer across sessions. By simplifying data management, GP Easy Passthrough caters directly to user needs, ensuring that interaction with forms is straightforward and efficient. Whether it’s ensuring data integrity or reducing workflow complexities, this plugin serves as a go-to solution for enhancing form experience. By leveraging the adaptability of Easy Passthrough and understanding its key features and limitations, users can optimize their Gravity Forms interactions and significantly elevate their data management processes.
