Merge Tags & Notifications

Merge Tags

Each repeater group gets a custom merge tag:

{gfr_rows:groupname}

Output Format

Generates an HTML table with all rows (including Row 0). Field labels as column headers, inline styles for email compatibility.

Email Notifications

Extra rows are automatically appended to all email notifications:

--- TEAM_MEMBERS — ADDITIONAL ROWS ---
Row 1: Name: Bob, Email: bob@example.com
Row 2: Name: Carol, Email: carol@example.com

For custom formatting, use the merge tag directly in the notification body.

Confirmations

Merge tags work in:

• Confirmation messages (on-screen)
• Confirmation redirects (query parameters)

Row Calculations [Pro]

Aggregation modifiers for GF calculation fields:

{Field Label:5:sum}    // Sum across all rows
{Field Label:5:avg}    // Average
{Field Label:5:count}  // Number of rows
{Field Label:5:min}    // Minimum value
{Field Label:5:max}    // Maximum value

These work both client-side (live updates) and server-side (on submission). The JS module uses GF’s gform_merge_tag_value_pre_calculation filter to intercept and aggregate values.

Example

An order form with repeater fields: Quantity (ID: 5) and Unit Price (ID: 6).

In a calculation field outside the repeater:

{Quantity:5:sum} * {Unit Price:6:sum}

This sums all quantities and all prices across every row.
