A save and continue form lets people stop at any point and come back later. The phone rings, a detail is missing, the tab gets closed: with Save and resume later, they save their progress and get a link back to exactly where they left off.
Save and resume later puts a quiet button under the form. Press it and they get a private link back to their answers, ready to copy. Choices, uploads and drawn signatures come back too.
Saved progress is kept for 30 days
Never shown under Entries until it is sent
Works on long applications and intakes
Switch on Email a resume link if they leave, and anyone who stops for longer than your delay gets their link by email, at the address they typed.
A delay you choose
Your own subject and words
{resume_link} wherever you want it
What it does, a line each, so you can check it does what you need.
Under the form, never competing with sending it.
Back to their answers, with a button to copy it.
Answers, choices, uploads and drawn signatures.
Then cleared, unless they send it.
Saved progress stays out of Entries until it is sent.
Their link, sent after the delay you set.
The subject and message are yours, with {resume_link}.
Finishing the form clears the saved copy, so no reminder follows.
Start on a phone, finish on a computer: the link works on both.
Ideal for teams with long applications, claims or intake forms in WordPress. It takes about 2 minutes to switch on, and saved progress is kept for 30 days, so nobody has to start again. Losing typed answers to a timeout is a known problem that WCAG’s timeouts guidance covers.
Open the form’s Settings > Form abandonment and tick Save and resume later.
The resume link needs the form on a published page; until then, people are asked to come back to the same page.
Tick Email a resume link if they leave, so anyone who goes quiet gets their link by email after the delay you set.
Fill in half the form, save it, and open the link in Chrome on your phone: answers, files and signatures come back.
For 30 days, then it is cleared. It becomes an entry only when the form is sent.
Yes. Uploaded files and drawn signatures are added again when they open their link.
Yes. Email a resume link if they leave sends them a link back to their answers after the delay you set.
