Entry

For a form, you can configure entries to be created for submissions.

You'll need to configure:

  • Entry Type
  • Default Entry Author
  • Entry Attribute Mapping
  • Entry Field Mapping
  • Overwrite Content
  • Create a New Draft
  • Update Entries
  • Update Element Mapping
  • Update Search Index

Mapping

For both the entries attributes (Title, Post Date, etc.) and any custom fields, you can assign a field's content to be mapped to that attribute or field.

For instance, you might have a Date, Users and Single-Line Text field for your form. With this integration, you could map these fields to the entry Post Date, Author and Title respectively.

The attribute mapping supports entry attributes like:

  • Title
  • Site ID
  • Slug
  • Author
  • Post Date
  • Expiry Date
  • Enabled
  • Date Created
  • Date Updated

If you turn on Update Entries, you can also choose which attributes or unique fields should be used to find an existing entry before updating it.

When a form submission is created successfully, a queue job will run to create the entry element after the users' submission.
