Changing edit link to direct to a specific page

    Asked on September 10, 2021 at 9:21 AM

    Hello,


    I would like to have the option of the original person who submitted the form to be able to attach a document once it is approved. I am thinking the best way to do this is to add an email in the workflow with an edit option of the form. I was curious if I can direct it to a certain page of my form that has the upload document widget? Thanks

    Hello,

    In order to have the edit link direct to a specific page you can setup a link like this https://www.jotform.com/edit/{id}?jumpToPage=4 where the page number is the page that you want the form directed to on edit.

    Hello,

    {id} is not something that you will want to change in the link as that would take everyone to a specific submission if you did. When you setup that link through an email through the autoresponder, notification or in the approval flow {id} will pull in the submission id that's associated with the person.

    If you would like to find the submission IDs anyway, you can find them in the table.

    Hello,

    When are you getting a 404 error? Do you have a link from the email that you can provide so we can look at it and that it's setup correctly?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    When I view that link I'm directed to page 4 of your form. This was using a private browser session so I was not logged in to any account and is working just fine. What are you doing to get a 404 when clicking on that link?

    Ok so it looks like if I paste the URL it will open fine but when clicking the email link it takes me to url https://www.jotform.com/edit/%7Bid%7D?jumpToPage=4


    That is when I see the 404 error. I am using outlook and tried from my pc and my phone.

    Looking at the source code of your email, the <a href is sending exactly what you have inserted with the %7Bid%7D which is not the correct address. You will need to fix this to be the https://www.jotform.com/edit/{id}?jumpToPage=4
