Post Added Through JetEngine Form Overrides User Profile Page

I created a profile and implemented the form that should let the user add new posts to the website. I also set the “InsertUpdate Post” notification but once I tried to submit the filled form from the frontend, it substituted the account page and returned the newly-added post. How to adjust the notification so the account page sticks to the set layout and the new post is added to my custom post type?

Sometimes, this form error can be due to a poorly set Fields Map in the post-submit action’s settings. To be more precise, you need to check whether the post_id field is associated with the corresponding meta field of your CPT. 

Go to JetEngine > Forms and open the form that adds a new post to the website. (In our case, it’s a New property form.)

Scroll down to the Post-submit Actions / Notifications Settings section and click the pencil-shaped icon to edit the “Insert/Update Post” notification.

Now, since you want the form to add a new post after submission, please configure the notification as shown below:

The same applies to the form that edits the existing post. Go to JetEngine > Forms and open the needed form to edit it. (In our case, it’s the Edit property form.)

In the Post-submit Actions / Notifications Settings section, find the “Insert/Update Post” notification and click to edit it. If you wish to set up the form to edit the existing post, make sure to input the following settings:

That’s it. Now, when you try to submit the filled form, a new post will be added to the current CPT. It will not override any of the existing posts on the backend, and the account page will remain visible.
