Save & Resume for WordPress Forms

Long forms lose people halfway. Save & Resume lets visitors save their answers and come back later from a private link, emailed to them if they ask. You can also keep answers as they type, see who didn't finish, and send them a link to pick up where they left off.

How It Works

Turn on Save & resume in a form's General tab. A “Save and finish later” link appears under the form: it keeps the visitor's answers and gives them a private link, sent by email if they ask, that opens the form where they left off. Optionally, answers are kept as visitors type, so you can see unfinished entries in their own folder and email the people who gave an address a link to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Save & Resume?

Install the free Epic Forms plugin from WordPress.org, then download Epic Forms Pro from your Epic Forms dashboard and install it like any other plugin. Connect your Epic Forms account on the Epic Forms → Pro page and Save & Resume switches on with your plan. There is nothing else to download.

Is Save & Resume included in the free plan?

Save & Resume is an Epic Forms Pro module, included in the Plus, Pro and Elite plans. The Epic Forms core plugin remains free forever.

How long do saved answers last?

30 days after the visitor's last change, and then they are deleted with their link. They are also deleted as soon as the form is sent, and when someone asks WordPress to erase their personal data. A developer filter can change the number of days.

Do visitors need an account to save a form?

No. Saving gives them a private link. They can copy it, or type their email address to have it sent to them.

Can I see forms people started but didn't send?

Yes, when you turn on keeping answers as visitors type. Unfinished entries then appear in an Unfinished folder in the form's entries, and visitors who gave an email address can get an email with a link to finish.
