Auto submit based on answer

    Asked on April 18, 2022 at 8:42 PM

    I have a really simple form I want to use to get feedback after group coaching calls.


    I have a thumbs up, thumbs down question.

    https://form.jotform.com/221077695479066


    I just want them to be able to click the button and be done, not needing to actually click thumbs up, then click the submit button as well.


    I found a support article about this with a link to a form that did it, but the link seems to be broken:

    Broken Form: https://form.jotform.com/203438562734963


    I assume this is a really simple thing to do so I'd love some help here.

    Hello Beyondbnb,

    To my understanding, you would like to auto-submit the form after filling up a field, correct? Unfortunately, it is not possible to auto-submit a form as soon as a field is filled in.

    One way to submit the form automatically is by adding the "Global Countdown" widget in the form. You can set a timer in the widget, and as soon as it times out, the form will be submitted automatically.

    The ticket you have provided above is regarding how to skip or set fields as required based on the user's answer. If the fields are not required, it will jump to the Submit button, as the form user is still required to click on submit.

    Alternatively, download the form source and inject your own Javascript to trigger auto submit.

    Since the auto-submit feature based on answers is not yet supported, let me forward a feature request to our development team so they can add this to their potential features list.

    I hope this helps.
