Hi guys Before I do my own HTML-From PHP programming i would love to use GF for all my needs. I was trying alot of webhooks but didn’t found the right one. It should be something very simple. I just wanna use Gravityforms everywhere. It’s my communication form. How can I stop GF saving my entries somewhere in the database? Is there a special webhook where i can read all entries from the formfields, process them and stop the GF saving process? So I can use GF forms for everything (search fields, my own DB save, etc.). Thanks for any help. best, Pascal ---

I don’t know of the hooks that’d accomplish that, but can point you to this pre-built solution from Gravity Wiz… [https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-disable-entry-creation/](https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-disable-entry-creation/) ---

Also, using the gform\_form\_tag filter will change the action of the form, prevent writing to the database, and let you do whatever you like with the information in your own code: > **[gform\_form\_tag - Gravity Forms Documentation](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_form_tag/)** > > This filter is executed when the form is displayed and can be used to completely change the form tag (i.e. ). ---
