    We have a provider that is giving us the ID and we want that when a respondent answers it will provide the same ID to the provider. How can i make possible to happen?

    Please find below an example:

    external provider will give me the following URL for example: https://form.jotform.com/260542543996365?RID=69c26920-609b-9eef-88d6-887a145cd297 Where the ?RID= is dynamic, how can I make sure this is included in the submission redirect so the provider keeps his ID?

    Hi Jorge,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    To ensure the dynamic ID parameter (like ?RID=69c26920-609b-9eef-88d6-887a145cd297) included in the URL is preserved and sent back to your external provider after form submission, you can follow this approach:

    Let me help you with that:

    1. Add a Hidden Field to your form to capture the RID parameter. You can name this field something like "RID".
    2. Prepopulate the Hidden Field with the RID value from the URL by passing the parameter to the form. Jotform automatically fills hidden fields if the URL contains the matching parameter (e.g., ?RID=your-id-value).
    3. Set Up Redirect After Submission to an external URL that includes the RID parameter. In your form settings under the Thank You page, choose to redirect to an external link and use a URL that appends the RID value from the submission data. You can use conditional logic or URL parameters in the redirect URL to include the RID value from the hidden field.

    This way, the dynamic RID parameter is captured when the respondent opens the form, stored in the submission, and then included in the redirect URL after submission, so your provider receives the same ID.

    If you need detailed steps on how to add hidden fields, prepopulate them from URL parameters, or set up redirect URLs with parameters, I can guide you through those as well.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
