how to send form to two urls

omri 30 Nov, 2012
Hi,

I'm currently using chronoforms to subscribe people to my one of my newsletters.

I'm using for this 'action url'.
My 'redirect url' goes to a thank page.

What I'm trying to do is to register people to two of my newsletters simultaneity. Any idea how can I do that?

The fields of the form are the same except one hidden field (the id of the newsletter).

I thought I should use the redirection plugin but I'm not sure how to do that. I'm attaching image with the details I put in the plugin. You can see I'm trying only to change the form_id. The 'fields[subscribers_name]' and the 'fields[subscribers_email]' are disappearing when I hit save. The target url is the same as in the action url in the main form.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Hi Omri,

If you use the Action URL then the form will be submitted there; ChronoForms will never see the results and so can do nothing with the form results. You may just be able to add a second hidden input to add the second newsletter. I assume that this also sends the User to the responder site?

If you submit the form to ChronoForms then you can use the cURL action to send information to responder.co.il - if their system allows that (it probably does but I can't read the docs to check). You can use more than one CURL action; or set the vlaues you send to include more than one newsletter id.

You probably don't want to use the ReDirect URL as that sends the user as well as the data and ti's usually better to keep the user on your site as long as you can.

I have a $3 tutorial here on linking forms to other sites using MailChimp as the example. It might be helpful if you want to submit the form to ChronoForms and send from there.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the reply.

After reading your reply I was not sure what to do so I bought the tutorial you suggested. But I didn't understand which method should I use and how to do that because in the tutorial you are speaking about the redirection url and sending the form only once.

Also, in the CURL fields I still have 'fields[subscribers_name]' vanished after saving.

I would really appreciate additional help.

Hi Omri,

I'm sorry, I misled you about the tutorial; I think I intended to write about cURL in part 2 :-( I have refunded your payment.

The cURL action should still work bust I think that you need to get my custom cURL [GH] action (it's free) to handle array names like fields[subscribers_name] correctly.
