I have a multi-page intake form that uses the save and continue option. I get a client every month or so who swears they start filling out the form, click save & continue, and then return to a blank form despite using the unique link generated by the save & continue notification. Sometimes, these clients email the link to themselves, which I get a copy of, and I can pull up their progress in the form. However, some clients don’t email the link to themselves. Is there any way I can pull up these unique save & continue links on the backend if they don’t request the email? ---

If you have database access with something like phpMyAdmin, you can create the link yourself as well. The important part is stored in the wp gf\_draft\_submissions table. You can create the link like this: [https://example.com/your-page-with-form/?gf\_token=6c538c146e1c4df48fb5679e6a9220ee](https://example.com/your-page-with-form/?gf_token=6c538c146e1c4df48fb5679e6a9220ee) where the gf\_token value comes from the wp\_gf\_draft\_submissions table (it’s the UUID value.) I know that’s not in the back end, but it is possible to recreate a link. ---

Awesome, that worked perfectly! I was able to piece their link together from the UUID and get them back to where they left off. Thanks for your help– ---

Greetings Chris, First off, thank you for all the help you provide to so many on this forum. Truly appreciated. Yes, a little _illumination_ please 🤔 So, to achieve this link _dynamically_ (for each user’s submission), I would have to write a script that queries the `wp_gf_draft_submissions` table **for each user** , correct? If so, how do I map the `gf_token` _ **to** _ each user? In the DB, I see the `uuid` field, but i’m guessing the hook lies in some id within the `submission` field? Please advise ---

Check out the approach I use [here](https://gist.github.com/uamv/e597d1c6fbf5dda77ddf5f424f0ae5a2). Lines 48-174 show how I’ve handled getting the submissions from the DB via `GFFormsModel::get_draft_submissions()`, comparing them against some user ID, and generating the link. I’m also doing some other checks in there, so this is probably more than you need. So, in short, I’m querying all the submissions, then filtering according to the one’s specific to a user. Hope this is in some way helpful. ---
