Slack Feed Meta

Introduction

The Feed Meta object meta for the Slack Add-On is an associative array containing the properties which determine how the add-on should process the form submission.

$feed['meta'] = array(
    'feed_name'                               => 'Your Feed Name',
    'message'                                 => 'Entry #{entry_id} ({entry_url}) has been added.',
    'feed_condition_conditional_logic'        => true,
    'feed_condition_conditional_logic_object' => array(
        'conditionalLogic' => array(),
    ),
);

Usage

We recommend accessing the $feed meta using the rgar() or rgars() functions, e.g.:

$conditional_logic_enabled = rgars( $feed, 'meta/feedCondition' );

if ( $conditional_logic_enabled ) {
    // Conditional logic is enabled for this feed.
    $logic_rules = rgars( $feed, 'meta/feed_condition_conditional_logic_object/conditionalLogic/rules' );
    foreach ( $logic_rules as $rule ) {
        // Process each conditional logic rule.
        $field_id  = rgar( $rule, 'fieldId' );
        $operator  = rgar( $rule, 'operator' );
        $value     = rgar( $rule, 'value' );
        // Example: Use $field_id, $operator, and $value in your logic.
    }
}
