Incomplete Submission Reminder Email
The Incomplete Submission Reminder Email is an automated message admins can enable to remind users who started—but didn’t finish—their application to return and submit it.
Who Receives It?
Submissions are marked “Incomplete” when a submitter clicks “Save and Logout” at any point in the form without submitting. All entered information is saved, but the submission remains unfinished. Only submissions in Incomplete status will receive the reminder email. Submissions in New status (never submitted and never saved/logged out) will not receive the reminder.
These users are eligible to receive reminder emails prompting them to return and complete their submission.
See the Status Definition article for further clarification on status definitions.
When Will It Be Sent Out?
The Incomplete Submission Reminder Email is sent out automatically at 2:00 AM on the scheduled day of your reminder start.
The first reminder goes out the number of days you set in Reminder Start after a submission is marked incomplete.
Additional reminders are sent based on the Reminder Frequency you configured.
Example Timeline:
Reminder Start = 3 days
Reminder Frequency = 2
A submission marked incomplete on June 1 will trigger:
First reminder on June 4 at 2:00 AM
Second reminder on June 5 at 2:00 AM
This ensures reminders are consistently sent at the same time each day they are scheduled.
