Creating Coupons for GF Coupons Add-on with Gravity Forms

Submitting a Gravity Form is a powerful thing. After the the submit button is pushed, any number of things could happen. You could register the submitter as a user on your site. You could sign then up to your newsletter or drip campaign. You could sell them a product.

Sometimes users need a little extra push to fill out the form and hit that submit button. This snippet provides a way to dynamically create coupon codes which can be provided to the user for use on a subsequent form. A simple, compelling incentive to submit your form. To share your site. To sign up for your newsletter. To buy your products.
