Pass the user information to another form

    So I am using a submission form for our members to submit they visits to the Scavenger Hunt destinations. They must have previously registered to be a part of the scavenger hunt on a different form. My question is that the way I have the form set up currently, it requires them to add their personal information each time they submit a destination. Name, phone number, e-mail address etc.
    Is it possible to automate all of this off some sort of individual ID identifier they could receive when they register and carry over to their submission form saving them time from having to add all their personal information each time. The two forms I am referring to are the Scavenger Hunt Team Registration Form and Scavenger Hunt destination submissions

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Rick, 

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can achieve this if the user fills out the information form and is redirected directly to the other form after they submit the first form. You can use the URL Parameters and Redirect them from the Thank You Page. Let me show you an example:

    First, you should use the Field Unique Name which can be found on the field properties:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon of the Position Field.
    2. Under the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Unique Name and you can get it.

    We will create the URL that will pass the data from the first form to the second form using the unique name of both fields:

    https://www.jotform.com/240785225701050?theSelected={yourPosition}

    Now, you can edit the thank you page to redirect the user to the new form with the selected position:

    • In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    • In the menu that opens on the left side of the page, click on Thank You Page.
    • Now, select Redirect to External Link and paste in the URL for the second form with the URL Parameter. That's it, you're done.

    Alternatively, you can use the Prefill feature to use the submission data for another form. Let me show you how:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder, then click on Publish in the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen.
    2. Now, click on Prefill in the menu on the left side of the screen, and then select Form Prefill.
    3. Select the form that you want to prefill from, then choose the fields you want to take data from.
    4. Click on Save Settings, and that’s it.

    Now, you can create the prefill to send it to the users with their personal information: Pass the user information to another form Image 3 Screenshot 84

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any other help.
