GFAPI::send_notifications not sending at the correct moment [RESOLVED]

I have a 4 Step multi step form.
On step 3 I trigger a function via AJAX to send a notification.
However it is only sending on the form submit.
To test I used wp_mail which sends on Step 3.

<?php
    public static function instant_quote_step_2_notification() {
        $form_id = $_POST['form_id'];
        $form = GFAPI::get_form( $form_id );

        $input_values = $_POST['input_values'];

        $source_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
        
        // Create a makeshift Entry object
        $entry = array(
            'id' => '140',
            'form_id' => '1',
            'post_id' => '60395',
            'date_created' => '2023-01-31 19:55:20',
            'date_updated' => '2023-01-31 19:55:20',
            'is_starred' => '0',
            'is_read' => '1',
            'ip' => '127.0.0.1',
            'source_url' => $source_url,
            'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
            'currency' => 'USD',
            'payment_status' => null,
            'payment_date' => null,
            'payment_amount' => null,
            'payment_method' => null,
            'transaction_id' => null,
            'is_fulfilled' => null,
            'created_by' => '38',
            'transaction_type' => null,
            'status' => 'trash',
            15 => '3002',
            18 => 'Richmond',
            20 => $input_values['zip_code'],
            5 => $input_values['square_footage'],
            35 => $input_values['bed_baths'],
            6 => $input_values['service_frequency'],
            22 => $input_values['type_of_other'],
            '9.3' => $input_values['first_name'],
            '9.6' => $input_values['last_name'],
            10 => $input_values['email'],
            11 => $input_values['phone_number'],
            27 => $input_values['text_friendly_number'],
            23 => $input_values['how_did_you'],
            13 => $input_values['pets'],
            14 => $input_values['rooms'],
            19 => $input_values['recipients'],
            40 => $input_values['first_cleaning_price'],
            41 => $input_values['every_week_price'],
            52 => $input_values['every_week_frequency_text']
        );

        // Fails - This only sends on Form Submission
        $return = GFAPI::send_notifications( $form, $entry, 'instant_quote_step_2' ); 
        wp_send_json( $return );

        // Test with wp_mail
        // Success - This sends on Step 3
        $to = 'emailsendto@example.com';
        $subject = 'The subject';
        $body = 'The email body content';
        $headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8','From: My Site Name <support@example.com>');
        wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers );

        die();
    }

Have you used the gform_notification_events filter to add a custom event named “instant_quote_step_2”, and have you edited a notification and selected that event as the event that the notification should be sent on?

@richardw8k

Yes, you’re right.
In the form settings I forgot to switch it to the correct Event that I created with gform_notification_events.

Problem solved.

Thanks
