Hi,

As far as I know you it is not possible to generate a unique URL link for each form. 

It is possible to create a unique ID for each person that fills the form:

https://www.jotform.com/help/79-How-to-Add-Custom-Unique-IDs-to-your-Form-Submissions

You can add the unique ID field and create a pre-filled form URL with the unique ID already prepopulated. That way when a user fills the forms, the submissions will the referrer's unique ID. 

You can simply send a link to the form with a URL parameter of the Unique ID of the referrer.

I hope I understood what you're trying to do and that this was helpful.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

For the same form i was looking to generate Unique URL.
e.g
1. Current client want to refer someone for our services.

He can open the form and fill his name/details and generate his unique url( url has current client details which will prepopulate his name , so we can identify referre)

2. This generated Unique URL will be shared by current client in his circle and whoever fill through his URL can be identified by us.

To identify the user you can generate a Unique ID in your form. The Unique Id could be anything like a combination of his email ID, current time, phone number.

as per my knowledge it isn't possible

Hi there,

To be able to accomplish what you intend to do you either have to create an external database and configure that database to generate the link based on a condition(Unique ID).

Or

Using Conditional Logic set up a short text field that takes in the Unique ID/Name/etc. and triggers the fields to generate values. Here is a Related Guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/268-How-to-Insert-Text-or-Calculation-into-a-Field-Using-Conditional-Logic

I hope that helps.

Hi Kenneth_C,

I found your answer is close to my solution.
I am looking things to work like this as below-


Form URL-

https://form.jotform.com/202033892093048 (here user will generate unique link) 

Need to generate unique link based on user name
As shown below-
https://form.jotform.com/202033892093048?referrercapture=Suraj%20Shukla (this can be shared by him and we will track on spreadsheet)

The name can be filled by user to generate unique url

User can enter details in field to generate URL-

same Url will shared for referral and Prepopulate the field- (we will capture the referrer and track on spreadsheet)

I believe this can be achieved if you'll be using a separate form to generate the link. Here's how:

1. Set up your REFERRER FORM. This is where the referrer will input their information.

2. Next, create a condition that will assign value to the referrer ID field. It can be a combination of the name or email:

GUIDE: How-to-Insert-Text-or-Calculation-into-a-Field-Using-Conditional-Logic 

3. Then add the link to the email autoresponder. This will be received by the referrer:

As you can see, I added the link to the "MAIN FORM" and pre-populated its REFERRER field via URL parameters.

GUIDE: Prepopulating-Fields-to-Your-JotForm-via-URL-Parameters

4. Lastly, on your MAIN FORM, set the referrer ID as READ ONLY:

Here's a demo form so you can try it. Just use a valid email address to receive the generated link: https://form.jotform.com/202063970629053  

While here's how it looks in the email:

Hello ,

In response to JohnRex  last post 

Is there any way to shorten Final url before sending ?

by any way -

It's possible using custom Javascript coding, however, we cannot add custom scripts into the email template nor the form. 

A workaround for that is to "mask" the URL. Say we hide it by creating a text that will be shown as a hyperlink instead of the URL itself. Here's an example:

DEMO FORM: https://form.jotform.com/202063970629053 

Hi JohnRex,

Firstly ,lot of thanks for helping us.

About masking the URL will not work as ultimately user will have to copy the url and share it with others for referral.
URL copied can be shared by user via sms/whatsapp etc.
so, shortening the url will make it easier.

if possible can you guide us via coding method so that can assign this to someone freelancers who can do this .

Thankyou once again 

Hi there,

Unfortunately, this feature is not available yet. I can make a feature request for a URL shortener widget that would accomplish your intentions, however, I cannot guarantee an ETA of when this will be developed or implemented.

So far, this has to be done manually with https://tiny.cc/ or https://bitly.com/. 

Let us know if you wish to proceed with the request?

Best.
