Hello,
I created a form for my own personal use and everyday, I input data on that form and submit. Usually, the data is the same from day to day. Instead of my having to go on the form and inputting the data manually and clicking the submit button, is there a way I can automate this process?
Thanks,
Ivy

Instead of entering the same data every time manually, you can auto-populate the field data and just submit the form. You can use this application to populate the form fields: https://prepopulate.jotform.io/
And to submit the form automatically you can use the Global Countdown widget.

How do I integrate the pre-populated link in the form builder??

When I click to edit, it just brinkgs up my username (which is greyed out
and uneditable) and the title of the form...

*There's no way for me to use the pre-populated link for my form for the
automatic submissions? *
P.S. another error i found with the global countdown timer is that it
doesn't accept 24 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds. It registers it as 30 hours on
the time. I had to change to 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds to get as
close to a 24 hour submission rate as possible.

You don't need to add the pre-populated link anywhere in the form. While integrating just fill the form with the required data and click on Generate URL.
Then along with Full URL, you can also see Shortened URL. Use any of these links to open the form, instead of original URL of the form. Then the filled data will appear automatically, you can just click on Submit.

I am trying to automate a form fully.
With prepopulated data and
Automatic submission every 24 hours.
How can I achieve this?

As I understand, you want to submit the form automatically every 24 hours.
Unfortunately, that's not possible, the workaround given by my colleague will only work if you manually open the link or if the link is opened in a web browser.
Alternatively, you may implement your own code to auto-submit the form, but you would need to host this on your own server, you can get the form source code following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/104-How-to-get-the-Full-Source-Code-of-your-Form
