Feasibility of dynamic page content by formidable submission?

Hi, I’m hoping to explore possibility of displaying dynamic page content under certain template with values from formidable submissions.

Very similar to email merge but instead a web-page

For example:
- A form containing [name] [age] [date-of-submission]
- And there are 3 entries with IDs of #id1, #id2 & #id3
- we create a page called “tailored offers” with texts and sections based on form field.
ideally inputing the following url
http://www.mysite.com/tailor-offers/?entry-id=1

will dynamically generate following:
- “Hi [name-first], thank you for checking out this tailors offer”
- Hide/show certain section if age is above/below 20
- hide everything(or show other message) if the page is visited 30 days after submission.
I know this can be achieved if we are physically creating new posts in formidable pro + ACF, but not sure if this is possible without a new post, there will be a lot of them so very difficult to manage.

Currently, DIVI builder allows dynamic content from ACF. There’s also a DIVI plugin that can show/hide sections based on query strings or php functions.

The missing link is how to pass single submission field values into ACF on page loading based on url query strings. does anyone has any ideas which directions or plugins?

Ultimately what we trying to achieve is a simple front end interface for non-tech savvy user, with the capability of hooked up by API for automation, to generate beautiful well designed dynamic pages, just like marketing emails but a web page.

Thanks for reaching out to us today. I am happy to help.

Yes, I think Formidable can do what you need using our “Views” system which can be used to build custom displays based on form input.

With this system, the View that you design is added to a page, and your form is set up to redirect to this page after submission. The customized content is displayed in the View dependant on the form choices.

You wouldn’t need to create posts or pages for each submission – one single page with dynamic content is possible using conditional statements inside your View.

Formidable comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it out risk-free and make sure it’s a perfect fit for your project.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of the views, but I don’t think it will work because the fields will be scattered across the page in different sections rather being grouped in a “view”.

Display a field entry
I’ve dug around your documentation and found this [frm-field-value field_id=x entry=pass_entry].

Am I understanding correctly that this short code will display a specific field value of specific entry defined by “www.mysite.com/page/?pass_entry=12345” ?

Use entry as configuration value
Then the next challenge, is it possible to make a specific field value of a specific entry working as a setting value for other plugins. The field value will be used as conditional show/hide sections, or texts.

So far I can get all the plugins I need to pull values from ACF, so if formidable can inject value into ACF then this is solved.

Because the field value will be used to show/hide sections, I’d much prefer not use query links and certainly not css, both are easy to be manipulated with.

Thanks
