Cognito-forms – Remotely/automatically delete entries

Entries in Cognito Forms can have an Entry Status of either Pending or Complete. All entries initially have a Entry Status of Pending, but administrators can mark entries as Complete when they have finished processing an entry. You can also quickly filter entries by Entry Status, which makes it easy to work through the current pending list.

We plan to leverage this Entry Status in the future to support additional features, including Save & Resume, where entries that have been saved but not yet submitted would have a different Entry Status, and workflow, where you may be able to define your own Entry Status options and trigger notifications and approval processes.

This Entry Status is separate from the Payment Status, which tracks whether an entry has been paid. This is helpful when you need to fulfill orders, as the Payment Status might be Paid if paid online when the entry was submitted or Unpaid if a cash or check option was selected. Separate from payment, you would use the Entry Status to determine if the goods or services had actually been delivered to the customer.

This is how filtering by Entry and/or Payment Status looks when managing entries:

This is definitely something we have discussed supporting. I have sponsored the feature on our Trello Board, as I too would like this ability. https://trello.com/c/Qf0BxQEt

Please up-vote and add your comments to the card on how you would be using entry embedding and what particular functions you would like to see in the feature.

For now, there are a couple of ways you can accomplish getting the data into your website, they just take a little bit more work and know-how.

The first is using our "Post JSON data to website" feature. By writing a custom webhook, you would be able to retrieve your entry data and display it on your site. For more information on this method, read our blog post: https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/66/data-integration/webhooks.

The second method would be to use our recently released Zapier integration. Here, again, you can use the Webhook, or many other options that Zapier offers, such as having the data sent to a SQL or MySQL database.
