Can We Have A Partial Submission For Logged Out Users?
I think I'm missing something basic.
I see Formidable has great multipart forms but I'm struggling to find a way to save the details of logged out users who have filled out part the form.
E.g. They're doing a loan calculation and after they enter their contact details I want to save it as a lead so that if they don't finish the form I can still target them.
Surely this is doable? I've searched the forums & help desk and can't find a solution anywhere. I'd be really surprised if I was the first person to need this!

Saving drafts is only available to logged in users.
From the front end, nothing in the the form get saved until the submit button is clicked. That's how forms work.
You may be able to do something with custom Ajax or REST. For example, when the contact details are complete it could trigger a write to a custom lead capture table, ActiveCampaign, or any other lead nurturing tool you use that has an API available.
Custom programming like that can be complicated and take a full day or more to write, test, and deploy. If anything on the receiving APIs change, you may need to modify the code.

Hi
Thanks. That makes sense. I found a solution but not the neatest. I can't believe nobody else has needed this!
Do you know why an embedded form is not saved when it's completed?
I.e. I embed form 1 with name & email, and it's embedded into form 2. Why would form 1 not save when it's completed?
