# Culinary Landing Page — Form Integration & Launch

## Overview

Didion Milling's culinary landing page was built as a brand-new page to support an outgoing press kit targeting retail partners in the Chicago and Madison areas. The page includes a **sample request form** that requires full integration before the press kit can be distributed. The page was technically live as of the standup but not yet fully wired up.

**Launch target:** Within 24 hours of 2025-10-06 (i.e., by end of day 2025-10-07).

> "In the next 24 hours would be great." — Melissa Cusumano

## Context

The landing page launch was delayed by approximately one week because it was a brand-new build. The client (Diana) is coordinating a press kit distribution — potentially hand-delivered — to retail contacts in the Chicago and Madison area. All press kit recipients will be directed to this landing page to request a product sample.

**AM:** Melissa Cusumano  
**Dev lead on form:** Chris Østergaard  
**Form builder:** Sam De Gracia

## Form Integration Requirements

### 1. Zapier → Google Sheets Connection
- Chris connected the culinary landing page form to Zapier during the standup.
- **Blocker:** A destination Google Sheet has not yet been provided.
- **Action:** Melissa to reach out to Diana to obtain or confirm the target Google Sheet for form submissions.
- **Fallback:** If Diana doesn't respond in time, Gravity Forms will capture all submissions locally and they can be exported/imported later — no data will be lost.

### 2. Email Notifications
Two notification emails need to be configured:

| Notification | Recipient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Admin notification | Site admin / internal team | Default exists; verify routing |
| Submitter confirmation | Person who filled out the form | To be modeled after the "snack meal" form template |

Chris will handle both notification setups. Sam does not need to update notification copy.

### 3. Form Purpose
The form is a **sample request form**. Confirmation messaging to submitters should reflect that framing (e.g., "We received your sample request and will be in touch").

## Action Items

- [ ] **Melissa** → Contact Diana to get the destination Google Sheet URL for Zapier integration
- [ ] **Chris** → Complete Zapier → Google Sheets connection once sheet is provided
- [ ] **Chris** → Set up submitter confirmation email notification (model after snack meal form)
- [ ] **Chris** → Verify admin notification is routing to the correct recipients
- [ ] **Melissa** → Confirm with Diana whether press kits are being hand-delivered or mailed, and exact distribution timeline

---

## Technical Notes

- Form is built in **Gravity Forms**; Sam built the form itself.
- Zapier connection is partially complete — trigger side is connected, destination (Google Sheet) is pending.
- Even without the Zapier connection, Gravity Forms will retain all submissions, so there is no risk of data loss during the integration window.
- Watermarked photos were still present on the page as of the standup; design team is finalizing those separately.
