Hi.
I am using the "Create Post" action in FF. I want to get the URL of the post that gets created. Is it possible to get this?
My goal is to save this in the google sheet.
Please help.

Create a hidden field on the form and populate it after the form has been created. Set a default value on the hidden field to assure the field is saved to the database.Here's a code snippet that you can use: https://gist.github.com/vfontjr/63920dd262e9027edafbe5b382888964
Thanks for your help. Can you also share the text I need to add as the default value in the field? Is it "[post_url]"? Also, is there a need to add an API trigger to populate the field?
A default is just a placeholder for a value. Formidable doesn’t save fields that don’t have a value. Hidden fields don’t have values unless you give them a default value or write custom code or use a shortcode to fill them in. The code I wrote for you won’t work unless the field is in the database, so you need to give it a default value. Here’s a link that explains how to use dynamic default values in fields: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/using-dynamic-default-values-in-fields/
API? Why would you want an API?
