    People's Jotform account was set-up with an employee that was termed. We need to transfer the account to myself to gain access to past forms, etc.

    Hi Raina,

    I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    Transferring Your Forms and Data to Another Account is easy. When you transfer a form, all its submission data moves with it, and the receiving account becomes the new owner. There are a few things you need to be aware of:

    • If you're using a custom URL, it’ll automatically update from https://form.jotform.com/{yourUsername}/{your-custom-url-slug} to https://form.jotform.com/{New_Owner_Username}/{your-custom-url-slug}.
    • The transfer can’t be undone unless the new owner agrees to send the forms back.
    • It's not possible to transfer forms to or from HIPAA-friendly accounts.

    Let me show you how to do it:

    1. On your My Workspace page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image in the top-right corner of the screen.

    2. In the window that opens, click on Settings.

    3. Then, click on the Data tab on the left.

    4. In the Transfer Form section, click on Transfer Form.

    5. Next, enter the Authentication Code that is sent to your email address, and click on Verify.

    6. In the window that opens, tick the box next to the name of the form you want to transfer.

    7. In the New Email Owner’s Email Address field, enter the email address of the account that you want the forms to be transferred to.

    8. Now, click on Transfer Form.

    Keep in mind that you can only send one form transfer at a time. You can also cancel the current transfer request. Let me show you how:

    1. While you are still on the Data page, click on the View Details button in the Pending Transfer section.

    2. Then, click on Cancel Request.

    3. Finally, click on Yes, Cancel.

    Once the forms are transferred, the owner of the account receiving the forms will get an email notification. From that email, they can click on the View Transfer button, then click on Accept to complete the transfer. Check out the screencast below:

    Don’t forget that the form(s) you’re transferring shouldn’t be connected to Jotform products like Jotform Apps, Jotform Store Builder, or Jotform Workflows. If they are, remove those connections first.

    Reach out again if you need any other questions.

    Hi Raina,

    Podo, our AI assistant, already shared the steps in transferring the forms from other Jotform accounts to yours. You'll need to have access to the email accounts linked to the Jotform accounts, since there are verification codes that'll be sent to them to continue with the transfer.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
