Use Save and Continue form later just like JotForm Prefill

    Asked on July 11, 2021 at 7:44 AM

    I have set up a form to allow users to save progress and return later, and have read some of your articles on this (including https://www.jotform.com/help/227-how-to-enable-autofill-on-forms).


    However, as I am on a paid plan with you, I see no justification for encouraging my clients to sign up for a JotForm account. Why do I have to ask users to 'Skip create an account' when I'd just like to email the URL directly to them? In my form I even have a required email address field, and it should be quite easy to refer to that.

    So, can I skip the 'account creation' dialogue and just have the following modal triggered directly from 'Save'?

    Hi there!

    I hope you're doing well and thanks for reaching out.

    I see no justification for encouraging my clients to sign up for a JotForm account. Why do I have to ask users to 'Skip create an account' when I'd just like to email the URL directly to them? In my form I even have a required email address field, and it should be quite easy to refer to that.

    I completely understand your point. Please note that JotForm Prefill works quite differently with Save and Continue Later although they share the same goal which is to prefill a form when it is loading. However, Prefill values were created by you, and Save and Continue Later were created by the user. When using the latter option, a JotForm account is required as it is where the values are stored.

    can I skip the 'account creation' dialogue and just have the following modal triggered directly from 'Save'?

    Unfortunately, no. This is not yet supported but I know how this could be very helpful in your situation. That said, I have sent a feature request to our relevant team. Hopefully, it gets implemented soon.

    We're very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Best regards,
