User Form Auto-Submit

  • Hey everyone!
    I came across an exciting functionality (as a rookie) and would love your input in helping setup up this on my website.

    There is a resources section on almost every product and service company website. What is required by most is to fill out a basic form each time a visitor requests to view/download the document.

    Interestingly, Slack allows visitors to only enter their info once and all files are available for download, everytime you visit their page.

    I’m currently using Fluent Forms on my website. Any suggestions how I can implement the slack functionality on mine?

    I’ve no idea what Slack actually does. One likely possibility is a cookie is set when the form is submitted. If the server receives the cookie with a request, and it validates as legitimate, then no form is presented and downloads are allowed. It’s not that much different than WP logins. If the auth cookie validates, no login form is presented and you can do whatever in the back end.

    You could leverage the WP registration process to accomplish something similar. It doesn’t need to be called registration, but in effect that’s what is happening.

    A late and possibly not-so-useful answer, but I do this on my site. I use Download Monitor and assign the downloads to a Gravity form. In the DLM settings you can say that any downloads sharing the same Gravity Form can be accessed once the user has entered their details once. I have 3 sections, with 3 forms, so the person enters their details on tab 1 and can download all items in that tab. Fluent Forms is not an option to use in DLM unfortunately. I use GF for downloads and Fluent Forms for other forms.
