How do I ensure that only verified guests can access my form?

When collecting submissions through a public link, you can require guests to verify their email before accessing the form. This adds a security layer while also allowing you to track who completed each submission.

  1. Enable Guest Access.

  2. In your form’s Build page, choose how to capture user details:

    • Use Entry.User.Email to populate fields with the email address of any authenticated user or guest (including unknown guests).
      Use Entry.User.Email to record the email address.
    • Or use a Person field set to default to Current User – this option only allows guests on a guest list or organization users to access the form.
      Use a Person field set to default to Current User.

  3. Open the Workflow settings. Under Public Links, set Require Authentication to Guests & Users. If you’re using a Person field to verify guests, set Allow Links to require that the Person field is filled out.
    Allow Public Links when the Person field is filled out.

  4. Make sure to save your changes.

What happens next:

Anyone accessing the form’s Public link will be required to authenticate their email – either by logging in as a user or entering a one-time verification code if they’re a guest.

You can track authenticated guest users and their activity from the Guest Access section in your organization’s settings.
