IMPORTANT TIPS

Address Field

For the address field you can set a default country and optionally show all or some of the fields:

Under Feeds, select the address option 'Full Address'.

Status Field

Add a Dropdown field for the Contact Status merge field.

Click 'Show Values' and enter the value as '0' to set it as a Lead. (Note that the status will become Active only after a Contact accepts a quote.

Click on Advanced, and set the field to 'Hidden'.

Source Field

The Source field can either be configured in the same was as 'Status' above in order to set the Source to 'Website' with the field value set to '7'.

Alternatively, you can create this as a visible field if you wish the customer to select an answer to a question such as 'Where did you hear about us?'

Note the values below that correspond to the Source options in SolarPlus.

Mapping of Custom Fields

When syncing Custom Fields, take note of the following:

...

In the Feed section of Gravity Forma, optionally map each field to SolarPlus.

...

A select list must be configured in Gravity Forms with the values set to match the values set in SolarPlus .

This applies to any Custom Field as well as the Contact select list for 'Source'.

NOTE: 'STATUS' select option

We do not recommend any feed mapping for the field 'Status'. This will be handled automatically and set to the default 'Lead'. The option 'Active' is for customers who have accepted a quote.for a Custom Field type of Select List (dropdown).

Add the Dropdown form field and click on 'Show Values'. Enter a value to correspond to the value options set in that custom field in SolarPlus.

It is recommended to use numeric values to minimise errors.

Optional Mapping

...

For multiple Category selection options, you can add these checkbox options in one Gravity Forms field.

Checkboses and Radio Fields

When a checkbox is added as a custom field in SolarPlus, that custom field has an ID which can be seen in the URL when in the update mode for that field.

Use this ID as the 'value' field in your Gravity Form checkbox or radio widget.

When a Radio field is added in SolarPlus, each radio option has a value. Give the value integers such as 0, 1, 2...

In Gravity Forms, add an option with the Value matching the value field in the SolarPlus radio field.
