AgentPress Pro – link to dynamically populated Gform

[sparrowdesign]

Hi! We're using Gravity forms with the AgentPress Pro theme. I would like to link from our individual listings to a new page that contains a contact form which is dynamically populated with the corresponding property name. Carrie Dils has a great tutorial on how to Dynamically add the listing title to a form, but I just can't figure out how to take it one step further and link from one page to another AND retain the listing name in the property field. I also took a look at the documentation https://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/article/using-dynamic-population/here, and it seems like the Query String may solve my problem (?), but their explanation isn't very clear to me. I'd be grateful for any advice you may have. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Unfortuantely I'm not able to add the site url, since the it is still on my local host.

You're definitely barking up the right tree. I use the Gravity dynamic population capability frequently, and I agree - their explanation isn't the clearest.

Setup the Advanced Settings in your Property field per Carrie's instructions - let's say you set the parameter to "listing_name".

To build your link, simply append "?listing_name=The%20Name%20of%20Your%20Listing
There are 3 key parts here:
1) "?" - This initiates passing variables through the URL string
2) "listing_name" - this is the name of your parameter and MUST MATCH what you put into the Gravity Forms "Parameter Name" field.
3) "The Name of Your Listing" URL encoded (%20 represents a space)

If you wanted to pass multiple values to your form, simply add them to the string separated by an "&" like this:

?listing_name=The%20Name%20of%20Your%20Listing&listing_address=123%20Any%20Street

Again,
1) "&" - separates variables passed through the URL string
2) "listing_address" - is the name of your parameter and MUST MATCH what you put into the Gravity Forms "Parameter Name" field.
3) "123 Any Street" URL encoded (%20 represents a space)

You can create these links manually on each listing (yuck) or work up a shortcode or other programmatic source to create the links on the fly.

I hope that helps! Don't hesitate to ask a follow-up if I've only confused you!
