Auto-populate email field

    Is there a way to auto-populate the email address field when a user clicks on a link to a survey? Not via the URL or prefill options.

    I'd like to send out a survey link to a list of people. I need to capture their email addresses, but want to remove room for user error/typos by having the form auto-populate their email address. Is Jotform able to access their email headers to do this?

    Hi eowens,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Currently, Jotform doesn't access users' email headers or extract email addresses from users' devices to auto-populate the email field automatically for privacy and security reasons. The standard and secure way to prepopulate form fields, including email, is through URL parameters or Jotform's Prefill feature.

    Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.
