# acpt/save\_form

Fires when a front-end form submission is received, before it is validated and saved

**Type:** Action

Fires when a visitor submits one of your front-end forms, as soon as ACPT has read and sanitized the submitted values: **before** validation, before any permission check and before anything is saved.

To allow or reject a submission, use [`acpt/form/authorize_submission`](/developers/actions/acpt-form-authorize_submission.md) and [`acpt/form/authorize_field`](/developers/actions/acpt-form-authorize_field.md) instead: they run after validation and can stop the submission before any data is written.

### Parameters

| Parameter  | Type                          | Description                                        |
| ---------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `$command` | `HandleFormSubmissionCommand` | The command instance that processed the submission |
| `$form`    | `FormModel`                   | The form that was submitted                        |

### Usage

```php
add_action("acpt/save_form", function(HandleFormSubmissionCommand $command, FormModel $form){
    // do something with the submitted data
}, 10, 2);
```
