Check the result

Restricted access does not create a submission.

Resuming after interruption

Read the same IDs again. Preserve correct settings and update only differences.

Choose public or token access

Separate public applications from forms that edit a specific customer’s record. update_target requires token access. Customer login and messaging-account connections are separate features.

Publish the form

Enter an organization-unique slug, localized title, description, and success message. Activate the form and connect the intended website action. Share secure links only with their intended recipient, not on public pages.

Test allowed access

Submit the public form from a signed-out test browser. Open a secure form as its intended customer and check that it edits only the linked reservation. Verify source records after the success message.

Test denied access

Check rejection for invalid links, wrong targets, and unauthorized users. Disabling a form restricts new access while preserving existing submissions. Test allowed and denied paths before distributing the operating link.
