I am trying to create a post when my Gravity Form submits and redirect to the post permalink on form confirmation.

See below the function which creates my post/order when my form submits using the gform_after_submission action.

add_action('gform_after_submission_1', [ $this, 'create_order' ], 10, 2 );

/**
 * ajax reload the cart summary
 * @param object $entry
 * @param array $form
 * @return void
 */
public function create_order($entry,$form)
{

    // convert keys to admin labels
    $entry = self::admin_labels($entry,$form);

    // get the current cart data array
    $data = self::data();

    // create an order array
    $order = [
        'post_author'   => User::$id,
        'post_content'  => json_encode($data,JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE|JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES),
        'post_type'     => 'purchase-order',
        'post_status'   => 'publish'
    ];

    // create order post using an array and return the post id
    $result = wp_insert_post($order);

    // if post id and is not a wp error then
    if($result && !is_wp_error($result)) {

        // get the id
        $post_id = $result;

        // update gform meta with the order id
        gform_update_meta($entry['id'],'order_id',$post_id );

        // create our order reference number
        $order_ref = str_pad($post_id,5,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);

        // create our title
        $title = 'Order #' . $order_ref;

        // new order array of updates
        $order = [
            'ID'            => $post_id,
            'post_title'    => $title,
            'post_name'     => $order_ref
        ];

        // update the order with new details
        wp_update_post($order);

        // set the the order type as purchase order
        wp_set_post_terms($post_id,'purchase-order','order_type');

        // update all the order custom fields
        self::update_order_fields($post_id,User::$id,$data,$entry);

        // unset cookie
        unset($_COOKIE['wm_cart']);

        // re set cookie and backdate to end cookie
        setcookie('wm_cart', null, -1, '/');

    }

}

The above code works good and creates my order/post fine.

I am then trying to redirect to the newly created post when the form confirmations fires.

So i'm using gform_confirmation filter but I can't find away to the pass the id to here.

add_filter('gform_confirmation_1', [ $this, 'order_confirmation' ], 10, 4 );

/**
 * ajax reload the cart summary
 * @param array $confirmation
 * @param array $form
 * @param object $entry
 * @param array $ajax
 * @return array $confirmation
 */
public function order_confirmation($confirmation,$form,$entry,$ajax)
{

    // get order id from gform get meta
    $post_id = gform_get_meta($entry['id'],'order_id');

    // confirmation
    $confirmation = array( 'redirect' => get_permalink( $post_id ) );

    // return confirmation
    return $confirmation;

}

I cant redirect in the submission because my form is AJAX, and the redirect just happens in the ajax call, so I am having to try to use $confirmation to modify the redirect.

Can anyone help me figure out a safe way to redirect to my newly created post via the submission?

Thanks

The entry object is available in both hooks, so how about saving the created post ID as meta on the entry with gform_update_meta():

gform_update_meta( $entry->id, 'order_id', $post_id );

Then retrieving it in the confirmation, using gform_get_meta():

$post_id = gform_get_meta( $entry->id, 'order_id' );

So basically I managed get Jacob Peattie idea working by using..

add_action('gform_pre_handle_confirmation', [ $this, 'create_order' ], 10, 2 );

instead of...

add_action('gform_after_submission_1', [ $this, 'create_order' ], 10, 2 );

But you can't specify the form with gform_pre_handle_confirmation action so I had put this check in my create_order function to make sure this only runs for this form.

// only allow this method to handle form 1
if (!array_key_exists('id', $form) || $form['id'] <> 1) {
    return;
}
