As the question says, once a user has filled in my contour form, I want that data to become a new instance of a content page. I can't see any way to map between contour forms and document types..
I don't think there's an OOTB way to have it publish automatically at a certain date. But, you could probably use the built in Approval process. Set your form to not auto-approve submissions, and add your Save as Document workflow on the 'approved' stage. You need to manually approve the entries but maybe that's what you're looking for?
Other than that I'm sure you could code an automatic solution if that's what you need - if you need advice on that let us know :)
How can I add the data from a submitted contour form directly to the CMS content?

help appreciated.
Hi,
There is a built-in workflow called "Save as umbraco document" that should do exactly what you want.
On your form, goto workflows, and add a new one of this type. Then you will be prompted to select your doctype and map the fields over.

brilliant thanks.
one other question - is there a way to publish forms that have been submitted at some later date? ie. not immediately on submission
