    Hello,


    I need to use the same form to create quotes for customers, then created a booking for the customer, and finally send them and invoice for services.  I also need each step to trigger a Zapier function.  The only problem is that after the first submission, Zapier no longer sees the EDIT LINK submission as a new form and will not trigger the Zap for the following steps (booking and invoice).   


    Is there any to have an edited submission create a NEW submission when the form is submitted?  Or automatically populate all of the fields from a form to the same form, so that when I submit the form on the second, third time etc, Zapier will see each occurrence as a new form trigger?


    My form is huge so I don't want to have to create a mammoth URL with each and every field.  If that is the only way, is there an easy way to make that happen when the form is huge?


    Thank You!

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to send the same form using the edit link as a new submission. Each submission has its own ID and it is unique. When the submission is edited, the field information will be populated based on this unique submission ID. When it is submitted, the respective submission will only be modified. 

    Or automatically populate all of the fields from a form to the same form, so that when I submit the form on the second, third time etc, Zapier will see each occurrence as a new form trigger?

    It is possible to separate the sections as different forms and send the information from one form to another form using the URL parameters. Please refer to the following guide that can help you with this.

    Unfortunately, the field data from one data to another form can only be passed using URL parameters as mentioned in the above guide. 

    Thanks!
