First of all, fantastic product! This has saved me hours of custom form coding. Well worth the cost.
Second of all. I have a question about the Paypal IPN hooks. I run other things through paypal and don’t want formidable to gobble up ALL of my IPN data.
I figure if I can add to an IPN hook then I can log the transactions in my database as I need. So the question is what hooks are available to do this. Also how would I pass back a failure update to paypal for it to retry if my secondary entry goes bad.
Thanks!

The only IPN notifications that go through Formidable are those it creates. Our transactions set up a specific IPN notification url that other plugins won't be using. They are also logged in formidable-paypal/ipn_results.log.
If you still want additional logging on the Formidable IPN notifications, you can find a few examples of using that hook in the knowledge base.

Got it, you're correct the custom URL works well.
I think the issue is really that I want to be able to have all transactions log to my DB in addition to formidable grabbing the callback for it's form data (to mark what is paid)
I think I can work with that paid field customization. Thanks much!
