The Action Hook field in Fluent Forms allows developers to insert dynamic elements into forms.

This guide will walk you through adding and customizing the Action Hook Field in Fluent Forms for your WordPress site.

Adding Action Hook Field

Go to Forms from the Fluent Forms navbar, select the form you want to edit, and click Edit to open the form editor.

NOTE

If you do not have any existing forms, read Create a Form from Scratch or Create a Form using Templates to create a new one.

Once on the Editor page, click the Plus Icon in your form editor and open the Advanced Fields module. The Advanced Fields option is also in the right sidebar under the Input Fields tab.

You can select the desired Action Hook Input field by clicking on it or Dragging and Dropping it into your editor.

Customizing the Action Hook Field

Once you add the FluentBooking field, you can customize it by hovering over it and clicking the Pencil Icon. It will take you to the Input Customization tab on the right side and offer the following options for customizing the field.

Action Hook Input Options

Located in the Input Customization Tab, these options allow you to configure essential aspects of the Action Hook input field.

A. Hook Name: Enter a unique hook name to trigger custom functionality at this location.

You’ll be given 1 parameter to play with: $form.

add_action(‘HOOK_NAME’, ‘your_function_name’, 10, 3 ); function your_function_name( $form ) { // do whatever you want }

Advanced Options

Advanced settings allow further customization to meet specific use cases. All the Settings under the Advanced Options tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below –

A. Element Class: Add custom CSS classes to the input field.

B. Conditional Logic: This option allows you to create specific rules to dynamically hide/show the input field to function conditionally based on your submission values according to your set of conditional logics. To learn more, read the Conditional Logic documentation.
