Respondent account and continue/pick up where they left off with a unique link
It's great that forms can autosave answers, and we can see partial submissions. But we'd love our users to be able to pick up those partial submissions and continue where they left off at a later date.
Storing answers on their device is ok, but leaves a lot of room for error in the user journey. Can't guarantee that they'll use the same device. We also can't open their submission over an onboarding call, and change answers.
Solution idea: pass a submission_id to the Tally form like https://tally.so/r/abc123?submission_id={id} to pre-fill their existing answers.
Example: we could also send this to them in an email: Hey, complete your onboarding form here: https://tally.so/r/abc123?submission_id={their_submission_id…
This would also allow us to open up their submission on an onboarding call and change any answers collaboratively.
Right now we have to hope they'll be on the same device, or over a call we have to copy/paste answers into a new form.
Much love for Tally 💜 Feel like this will really open up the use case of making a form part of an onboarding flow/wizard, instead of a one-off submission.

Hi Serge, Thanks for submitting this request - we'll merge it with a similar request, that might help. As you've noted an alternative way in the API, it will be specifically here; https://developers.tally.so/api-reference/endpoint/forms/sub… Once you consider having our Pro plan, you can get the Partial submissions (incomplete/draft ones) and then utilize our Developer resources (https://developers.tally.so/widgets/code-injection#set-a-val…) to insert the fetched partial submission data into a session you'd want to load the data into, using our events. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to build Tally for your specific and unique needs.
