    Hello

    I have a form (link below) with three notifications:

    • Department Review
    • Director Review
    • Customer Care Final

    The form is linked to an external PDF.

    Department Review notification also attaches teh PDF and is filled.

    Director Review notification also attaches PDF and is filled

    Customer Care notification attached the PDF but then information filled in notification "director review and Department review" is missing from the PDF attachment.

    All inform seems to go into the PDF attachment ok until the customer Care final notification is sent out.


    Please see attachments.

    Hi, thank you for contacting JotForm support.

    Please note that this condition must be satisfied first before the Customer notification email will be sent.

    Managing Director is signed - and then notification "customer care Final" gets sent. This is the final notification. There are no issues with the notifications sending they are ok, however the final PDF attachment in "Customer Care Final" is missing the content.


    Please see below - Notification 2 " Director Review" includes the below Pdf attached:

Bu the PDF attachments doesn't include the information filled out in previous URL submissions. See below is has not dragged the information through onto the PDF from notification 2 "Director Review"

    Hi,

    When the manager receives the form the fields that are previously filled are hidden, those fields get cleared when the manager fills the form, could you change the option to clear hidden fields to don't clear?

    If that doesn't work could you change the conditions to show the fields that are sent to the department for the manager as well?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Also the PDF has stopped using the fields to name itself - see before and after below.

    Hi,

    I apologize for overlooking your other question. This probably happens, because at that point both the "Signature" and the "Managing Director Signature" fields are filled, so both of these conditions get triggered:

    I assume that the director edits the submission when signing the form? If so, you can add a Get Page URL widget to your form, and set the e-mail to be triggered when the URL contains the word "edit".

    You can follow this detailed guide on how to do this (instead a Show/Hide condition use the Email condition): https://www.jotform.com/help/389-how-to-show-or-hide-fields-on-edit-url

    Please give it a go and let us know if you have questions.
