Submit form using a link, instead of a submit button

[JaredL]

I have a form, and I would like to submit the form by clicking a link instead of a submit button, and then having the form redirect to a single record update page while passing a parameter (the unique ID generated from the form),

 

Any resources I could refer to be able to do that?

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi JaredL,

You may add an HTML block to your form and insert the following code:

<a href="javascript:document.forms[0].submit()">Click here to submit</a>

After that open the  Web Form Wizard - Destination and Emails  screen and select "Go to a new datapage" in the "Destination after record submit" field.

Then insert an URL where you have deployed the Update form and pass parameter in a query string.

You can find more information about passing parameters at:

Also here is another useful link about using links for form submission:
