Invite By Email: How to not require log in from form fillers?

When I use the "Invite by email" option, it appears to make the recipient log in. Is there a way to use the "Invite by email" option and have it go directly to the form, no login of any kind required? I know the shareable link does indeed go directly to the form; however, if I use the link and send it through my Outlook email, how will reminders get sent for those who have not completed their form yet? Jotform will have no idea who to remind.

Hi Hannah,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. When using the Invite by Email option in Jotform, recipients are required to log in before accessing the form. This is because the invitation email contains a dynamic link tied to the recipient's email address for tracking and sending reminders.

With the Invite by Email option, this associates the form with the recipient's email address. This login requirement is what allows Jotform to track who has or hasn't submitted the form.

If you want recipients to go directly to the form without logging in, you can share the form's shareable link manually via your own email platform. Then, you can set up Reminder Emails to be sent to the form fillers. But, in this case, Jotform will not automatically track who has completed the form, since the form link is not associated with the recipient's email address.

It's very easy to Set Up Reminder Emails in Jotform. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
2. Click on Emails on the left side of the screen, and select the Schedule A Reminder Email option.
3. Edit the content of your Reminder Email.

You can also set the repeat period, specify when it will be sent, and choose the start and end date. Let's do it:

1. While in the Reminder Emails settings, click on the Schedule tab.
2. Adjust the Repeats and Send Date options as needed to select which day or days you would like to send.
3. Click the Downward Arrow icon in the Send Time section to change the time it will be sent.
4. In the Start Date section, click the Calendar icon to set the starting date. You can also set an end date to stop sending reminder emails on a specific day in the End Date section, and click on Save.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
