if you did that, you could create the hidden field in Typeform to accept the inbound variable value and then display the value on the welcome screen with the @recall feature..
one way would be to have a spreadsheet of all the email addresses of the teachers and a field (v_today in my example) that would be updated to the value of =today() .. then another field that combines the static link of the url to the typeform and the value in v_today as a text string .. using a tool like Document Studio or any other tool that will send email from a spreadsheet, you could create the email with the string that gets sent to the teachers with the link to the form and shows the date
i do something similar to this with one of my forms where i ask folks to come back every three months to ‘redo’ the assessment for incremental changes. You can also do this with a crm or ESP but google sheets and Document Studio work well for my purpose..

ooohh I was thinking how useful it will be to have the date and time in the welcome screen of my form
see, i am creating a school attending form where the teacher choose the class and the session and the name of the absent students and the ending screen shows the names and the number of the absents
it contain a lot of logic since i have a large number of teachers and large number of classes
May i ask if it is possible to sent the result of the form into someone else excel? like in a one drive or email

You can do both. 😀 You can learn how to send self-notifications here and send the data to excel here.
Life is a series of awkward moments separated by snacks.
Has this now been added - it’s important to have the hidden date field pass the current date over to Salesforce?
I can’t move my forms over from Formsite to you guys if this feature doesn’t exist.
Let me know
+5I’m afraid this feature hasn’t been adding, but keep an eye out on the community in case we ever do add it,
