Is there any way for a webform to allow the submitter to come back and edit later?

    We just figured one way to somewhat make this work (though still not automatically). Whenever someone submits a webform, the admin of that app could later manually share the item with the person who filled out the form. That would allow the submitter to later go back and edit the information via the Podio.com interface in their "Shared with you" option. I just wish we could automate this.

    Hi Eric,

    That would be the method I suggest - since the webform is meant as a way for non-Podio members to submit data into Podio, there isn't an automatic way to give submitters access to their item. This is why it needs to be done manually.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Jacqueline, it would be great if there were a way for webforms to be either saved before submitting, or edited after submitting.... even if that meant the submitter has to create a Podio account to do so (hey, it might help you get more customers by allowing our "contacts" to see Podio and fall in love with it themselves!)

    Hi Eric,

    Another way to do this is to make a custom webform and send the data to Podio using Podio APIs. Here you’ll have all the flexibility to make any business logic needed - a customer can come back and continue editing, send an email to the user with a secure link where they can visit and edit all the data they added etc.

    If you are interested in a solution like this, we can help you - write me a mail on sh@phases.dk

    I am having a similar problem with Eric, but my issue is worse. I need to run a recurring conference every year, so when people returning for the conference, they will need to verify/change their Contact information. Even if I shared the item to the registrant, they can't edit their contact information. Is there anyway to work around that?

    Yes, it's possible - I replied to the mail you sent me.

    If you haven't already, check out: http://advancedwebform.com. Just leveraged it for what we needed and worked out well.
