Hi, may i have some question here

1. Sorry i am new to wordpress hook. I have read the documentation, but couldnt understand. Where to put the action code? Is it i need to create the directory as "jet-form-builder/custom-action/actionname"?
2. I want to call this action hook from popup button. Is it possible? Thank you.

You have to write a php code like this:

`
function myfunctionname(){

YOUR PHP CODE GOES HERE

}
add_action('jet-form-builder/custom-action/actionname',myfunctionname, 10, 2);
`

you should use a child theme and add that code to its functions.php otherwise when you update your theme, this code will be removed.

Good to know:

• $request is a multi dimensional array that consists of array keys that correspond with the IDs of the inputs in your form.
• If you need the ID of the CCT that will be created, you need to look for the key "inserted_cct_" + slug of your CCT. So if your CCT is called "record_information", then the name of the key in the $request will be "inserted_cct_record_information".
• your form needs to include an action to call a custom hook; the name of the hook needs to correspond with the last part of the action hook you defined. So if we're following the example above, you will need to enter the value "api-request" in the custom hook settings for your JetFormBuilder.

I love these plugins, I hate their documentation. Hope this helps. ;-)
