Way to get part of a form filled out by a seperate person


Just wondering if it would be possible for someone to fill out half of a form, then send it on to another person that can finish filling the information out?

Hi ​@gkas welcome to the community 😊 this is an interesting one! It’s not possible to save a spot in a form unless you’re accessing it from the same device, so I don’t think it would work to pass it on to someone else. Can you share a bit about your use case and maybe we could give some suggestions of a workaround?

Hi Grace, thanks for your response!

We already use Typeform as part of our onboarding process, but we have someone fill it out with the initial onboarding info, then the person we are onboarding will fill out another form with some double up questions and some new ones. 

What I'm wondering is… would it be possible to get a form that pulls previous answers or information from somewhere and doesn’t ask questions that have already been answered? Then once both forms have been completed, the information for both gets combined at output.

There are round-about ways to do it outside of Typeform, but I'm just wondering if its possible to it on the one platform and it might be a bit less high touch.

Hey ​@gkas hope you had a good weekend!

I was wondering if it would be possible to use URL parameters to pass the information from the first form to the second, but I think it depends what information you’re passing - for example if it’s a multiple choice answer or open text I don’t think it would work at the moment. 

Let me take this to the team and see if anyone’s got any ideas for setup that wouldn’t be too complicated!
