Where Do the {edit_submission} and {all_submissions} Tags in Email Templates Come From?

Hello Jotform support,

I see this line in the autoresponder Email template footer...

You can {edit_submission} and {all_submissions} easily.

Where did the form fields {edit_submission} and {all_submissions} come from? They are not listed as choices in the Form Fields button list of options. If I wanted to create my own custom Email template where would I get those form fields?

Thanks

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The form fields {edit_submission} and {all_submissions} found in the Notification Email template footer are special tags provided by Jotform. These are not standard form fields that can be added through or as the Form Fields, as they are system-generated variables designed specifically for use in email templates.

The {edit_submission} tag generates a direct link that allows you to edit the submitted entry, while the {all_submissions} tag displays a complete summary of the submissions in Jotform Tables. Keep in mind that the Edit Submission link is not added automatically in Autoresponder Email—you'll need to manually insert the {edit_submission} tag into your email content if you want that functionality included. And about the {all_submissions}, it's only available in Notification Email. Let me show you how to add the Edit Submission link to your Autoresponder Email:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

2. In the Settings menu, click on Emails and hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Email.

3. Click on the Pencil icon, and in the window that opens, click on the Form Fields dropdown menu and select Edit Link.

4. After adding the link, click on Save, and you're done.

Feel free to reach out again if you have any questions or if we can help you in any other way.
