Hi,

I think generally with the InfusionSoft Integration, it is providing a facility where information that is in the url string can be captured on the page, ie on the page you have some code that collects from the url string the necessary information and then when the submit button [or what every button is used to post] is clicked on the information in the fields are passed across to InfusionSoft. This would deal with general field information someone wants to pass through.

How I have seen this done in the other apps that integrate with IS is generally two ways. First way you have a box for IS integration where we could go in an put the script we want to run on the page.

Like how in Word Press there is an Analytics box where you put your script code for Analytics. You could do something similar for IS. I can then put into that box the php code to have the field info I want to collect from the url string and have passed through to IS on the submit button being clicked.

ie “<form accept-charset=”UTF-8″ action=”https://appname.infusionsoft.com/app/form/process/9237fae93453ad337ac3df2948a96c14&#8243; class=”infusion-form” method=”POST” >
<input name=”inf_form_xid” type=”hidden” value=”9237fae93453ad337ac3df2948a96c14″ />
<input name=”inf_form_name” type=”hidden” value=”name” />
<input name=”infusionsoft_version” type=”hidden” value=”1.25.3.49″ />

<input class=”infusion-field-input” id=”inf_field_FirstName” name=”inf_field_FirstName” type=”hidden”  value=”<?php echo $_GET[“Contact0FirstName”]; echo $_GET[‘FirstName’]; echo $_GET[“inf_field_FirstName”]; ?>”/>
<input class=”infusion-field-input” id=”inf_field_Email” name=”inf_field_Email” type=”hidden”  value=”<?php echo $_GET[“Contact0Email”]; echo $_GET[‘Email’]; echo $_GET[“inf_field_Email”]; ?>”/>
<input style=”border:none; background-image:url(../name/Images/addtocart-style2.png); color:#FFF; font-family:Helvetica; font-size:18px; height:127px; width:368px; display:block; background-position:center; background-repeat: no-repeat;” type=”submit” value=”” />
</form>”

This means any information would be pushed through to InfusionSoft on the clicking of the submit button. I’m not an expert by any means, however tha’st how I would do it to provide flexibilty.

The other option is to allow for certain custom fields to be update, where you put in the InfusionSoft Custom Field Id, and you are able to match that to the EventEspresso Database Field. For example in your Question area, put the InfusionSoft Field ID you want it to match to. This however doesn’t deal with being able to pass through the affiliate ID. If you had an Affiliate ID in the EE Database and had your forms set to allow us to specfify the field name in the URL string used, collected the value and then map to the appropriate IS field ID that could work.

Like I said I’m no expert, so those are my thoughts.  Just comes down to collecting information in the url string, mapping and then passing through to appropriate field id in IS.

Thanks, Mike
