Dynamic values in GravityForms and WPForms 
We have developed a way to get values from other fields in GravityForms and WPForms. You can use this in the field mapping in the feed. You can use: 
{id:N} in order to get the value from field N 
{label:N} in order to get the label from field N (only in GravityForms)
Expert Mode 
You can enable Expert Mode in the form feed. This mode will show all fields of the CRM in the form mapping. This is useful if you want to connect all fields of the CRM to the form. Now currently works for Odoo.
We recommend to use this in the field mapping in the feed and hidden field that gets the value.

</ul>

<li>If the retry fails, another retry is scheduled for 1 hour after that</li>
<li>This continues for up to 3 total attempts (original submission + 2 retries)</li>
<li>If an attempt succeeds, all future retries are automatically cancelled</li>
<li>You can manually resend at any time, which counts toward the 3-attempt limit</li>

</ol>
What Information is Displayed:

<li>All lead data from the form submission</li>
<li>API endpoint URL</li>
<li>JSON request payload</li>

<li>Time until next automatic retry (e.g., “Next: in 45 minutes”)</li>
<li>Last resend date and time</li>
</ul>
The Error Log with automatic retry system helps you maintain data integrity by ensuring no form submissions are lost due to temporary errors, connectivity issues, or API downtime. The automatic retry mechanism increases the success rate of form submissions without requiring manual intervention.
