    Additionally I'd like to receive notification emails when someone has started a submission but abandons before submitting. It appears last someone asked this is not possible in 2024, have there been any updates to that functionality?

    Hi Ted,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to receive notification email if user abandons the form without submitting it, unless you have enabled the Save and Continue feature and users used it. If someone used the Saved and Continue feature, it will be marked as Incomplete Submissions. You can also view your Incomplete Submissions in Jotform Tables. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Forms page, select the form you want to check for incomplete submissions.
    2. In the upper-left corner, next to the Create Form button, click on Submissions.
    3. In Tables, click on the Three Dots icon next to your form's name, and then in the dropdown menu, click on Incomplete Submissions.
    4. In the Incomplete Submissions menu, hover over the submission and click on View. This will open the form with the incomplete submission in a new tab.
