I have about 1500 unique URLs - Can I set up my form so the user receives an Autoresponder with one of those unique links?

    I would like to pre add a unique url to a form (About 1500 URLs). Why? When a person submits his submission he will receive an autoresponder with one of those links. Is this possible?


    Best regards,

    Hey Yuriy - May I ask how you're going to distinguish who receives what URL? I'm asking because there's a way to conditionally send AUTORESPONDERS based on the user's answer.

    Complete guide: How-to-Send-Email-Based-on-Selection

    However, this approach will become tedious because you'd need:

    1. 1500 Autoresponders configured (each with its own respective URL)

    2. 1500 Conditions that will correspond with each Autoresponder

    Although there's no hard limit to the number of conditions, your form may lag and become slow. If you can give us a bit more background about your overall workflow, we may be able to suggest some alternatives. Otherwise, I see no other way of sending out these 1500 URLs uniquely and individually.

    Hey Jim_R,


    i will try to explain you my workflow. The basic goal is that i want our guests to have the ability to check into an event via QR Code (PDF Attachment) or via Apple Wallet Pass. We are expecting 1500 guests.

    I want to generate QR Codes with an ongoing number sequence e.g. PDF Att. with QR Code 100, PDF Att. with QR Code 101, PDF Att. with QR Code 102 and so on.

    I can also generate wallet passes based on the name of the guests. The qr codes (passes) can also be filtered in the correct sequence e.g. Wallet with QR Code 100, Wallet with QR Code 100 101, Wallet with QR Code 102 and so on.


    Now i have two questions:

    1) Can i generate QR Codes based on a preset number (Maybe in connection with a submission counter widget for example?)


    2) I have a spreadsheet with all Wallet ID's (URL Links) I would love to add those links to the autoresponder email. So yes this is basically my problem. 


    Cheers, 


    Yuriy

    1) I tried combining the Unique ID widget, with the Dynamic QR Code widget, but it will not work. So, generating a Dynamic QR code from a custom form submission ID is not possible.

    2) If you have all the URLs in a spreadsheet, you can populate into a specific field of your form through the Spreadsheet to Form widget: https://www.jotform.com/help/442-How-to-Use-the-Spreadsheet-to-Form-Widget 

    So, in the Autoresponder, you just have to include the field that contains the specific link that was populated from the spreadsheet. Let us know if you need more help.
