Is it possible to Post form data to two different destinations?

Posted by webdrips on June 2, 2009 at 10:51pm

Hi all.

I'm just wondering if it is possible to set up (ideally a CCK-based) form, and when the user fills in the info and clicks the submit button, save it to Drupal's dB and forward the information to another external site (e.g. Salesforce). I assume one could set up an action to do this? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I can think of several reasons as to why I'd like to do this, but are there some big gotcha downfalls? In most instances, for the users I care about anyway, they will only be able to add/edit the info in Drupal.

Thanks in advanced,

Dan

you might try the saleseforce

you might try the saleseforce module http://drupal.org/project/salesforce.

Or, you can tack on an extra submit handler with hook_form_alter on the node form for the specific content type that you wish to store in both drupal and Salesforce. The extra form handler could use a curl request to post to Salesforce.

Thanks!

Thanks Jbomb, omnitrick.

I like the hook_form_alter idea if the Salesforce API doesn't cut it.

Webform may be what you are looking for. Not sure if it will do what you want.
