Hello,

I would like to send the same form back to someone every 6 months to update their information

 

Do you have an idea to realize this ZAP?

 

I am currently using jotform for forms

 

Thank you in advance for your help

Great question, @Seb SKY!

My first thought here is that you could use a calendar app like Google Calendar for example to schedule in the reminder to update their information.

So you’d have a Zap that takes the email address entered into new Jotform form submissions and adds it to the description of a Google Calendar event 6 months from when the form is filled out. You’d be able to set the event to take place 6 months later by using the {{zap_meta_human_now}} command to insert the date and time that the Zap runs. Then using the date modifier +6mo to change the date to 6 months from now.

For example:

Then you’d have another Zap that triggers on that event and sends an email to the person (taking the email address that’s stored in the event’s description field) with a link to fill in the form.

Do you think that approach could work?
