Waiting and reminders

Reminders on send next form

A Send next form step emails a signed link to another form. You can set a deadline and a reminder. If the person has not submitted that form yet, GRTforms sends a reminder email. The original signed link stays valid until the deadline.

Employee onboarding uses this: equipment request reminds after 24 hours, policy acknowledgment after 48 hours. See Start from a template.

Delay step

Delay steps are not available yet. When they ship, a workflow can wait from 1 minute up to 30 days, then continue. The wait is saved, so it isn't lost if GRTforms restarts. You can also wait until a date from the entry, with an optional offset, such as one day before a preferred appointment date or one day after.

If that date has already passed when the step runs, or the date field is empty, the wait is skipped and the next step runs. While a run is waiting, run history shows it as waiting.

Approval reminders

Approval reminders and expiry are not available yet. When they ship, the reminder email includes a new approval link, and earlier links stop working. See Approvals from email.
