Resume Links
Resume links let visitors return to the Client Onboarding form and finish exactly where they left off — with everything they entered already filled in.
How It Works
When a visitor starts the onboarding form, the plugin creates a lead with a personal resume link. When they click that link (from a reminder email, SMS, or a link you send manually):
- The plugin checks that the link is valid, active, not expired, and that the signup isn't already completed
- The visitor is redirected to the onboarding page with all their saved answers pre-filled — fields, sliders, dropdowns, and multi-selects
- Any further changes they make continue updating the same lead — no duplicates
Link Format
Tokens are 6 characters, letters and numbers, randomly generated. Similar-looking characters (0/O, 1/I) are never used, so links are easy to read out over the phone. Example: https://yoursite.com/lr/A7K29P
Link Expiry
Resume links expire a set number of days after the visitor's last activity — configured with Resume Link Expiration in General Settings. Default: 30 days. Set it to 0 for links that never expire.
Because expiry is based on last activity, a visitor who keeps coming back never loses their link.
What Visitors See
| Situation | Page shown |
|---|---|
| Link works | Onboarding form with their answers pre-filled |
| Link doesn't exist or was replaced | Link Not Found |
| Link expired | Link Expired |
| Link disabled by an admin | Link Disabled |
| Signup already finished | Already Completed |
Each page includes a button back to your homepage.
Fields Not Restored
For security and a smooth experience, these are never saved or restored — the visitor selects them again:
- Credit card and payment details
- Payment method
- The "card on file" question
Managing Links
From the lead record you can:
- Copy or Open the link
- Regenerate it — the old link stops working immediately
- Disable or Enable it
