How can I pass calculations and hidden field values from form 1 to form 2?


Forum|alt.badge.img

I have 2 forms, Form 1 and Form 2. They are complimentary. In Form 1 I calculate the price based on the user entry. In Form 2, if the user choses, so, I send the calculated price per email to him/her. 

Question: how can I pass the information that I collected in the answers in Form 1 including the calculated price, to the Form 2? The Form 2 does not seem to pick up the hidden fields and calculations from Form 1.

Hi @Irina Thanks for stopping by the community! We have step-by-step instructions on passing data from one form to another here, but if this isn’t working for you, would you mind sharing a bit more about your current setup? For example, is the form embedded or are you sharing the link directly? Additionally, are respondents answering one form right after the other? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, 

I am struggling with the following. After the user fills in the Form 1, the user receives an email notification with the summary of the provided answers and price, calculated based on the answers. How can I send the user from this email to the Form 2, while passing all collected information in the Form 1 to the Form 2?

hi @Liz

Yes, thank you. I finally figured it out, although not as elegantly. For now the forms are not embedded. I might do it at a later stage. Not yet done with the second question about using the personalized string in the email though. 

 

Cheers, 

Irina
