Here is how the email will appear when it will be sent to a user:

How the location of the Lead Form controls the functioning of the Save Progress feature

A. When the Lead Form is on the Welcome Page or the Lead Details (Name, Email, etc.) are being passed through the URL: In this case, as soon as the user clicks on the button, an email will be triggered to the user containing the Unique Link that the user can use to access the content later. The user can continue from where he/she left off, even if using a different device, browser, etc.

B. When the Lead Form is displayed After Questions or the Lead Details are not passed through the URL: In this scenario, when the user clicks on the button, a pop-up will appear, prompting them to enter their email address. Please refer to Image 2 attached for the mockup of this process. Once the user submits their email address and clicks on the blue tickbox, an email will be sent to them, containing the Unique URL. Additionally, the button to copy the Unique URL will also be displayed in the email.

How the Save Progress feature affects the syncing of data when using Native Outgrow Integration

This feature would also affect your integrations, mainly how and when they get triggered, and here is some information about the same:

A. Use case 1: If the lead generation form is displayed on the welcome page and the user clicks on the "Save & Continue" button, the integrations will synchronize either based on the click of the "Save & Continue" button or based on the time elapsed since the lead generation form was filled. The same process will happen on the user's subsequent visit, where the integration will synchronize based on the time elapsed or a click of the "Save & Continue" button. The final integration synchronization will occur when the user submits the final question.

B. Use case 2: If the lead generation form is not completely filled out, the integrations will not trigger until the form is fully completed. This is because the lead is not captured until the end, and the email address is required to sync the lead data with your CRM or marketing automation tool. Once the lead form is fully filled out, the integrations will initiate and the lead data will be synced with your CRM or marketing automation tool.

How the Save Progress feature affects the syncing of data when using Zapier Integration

In cases where you opt to use the Save & Continue feature in your content, and you are using Zapier to transfer leads collected using Outgrow content to your CRM, then in this case, here is how data sync will work:

A. Use case 1: When the lead form is on the Welcome Screen: In this case, as the lead form is on the Welcome screen when the user chooses to use the Save & Continue feature, the details will be sent to Zapier initially by the Zapier time delay set in Outgrow. When the user submits the remaining details later, the details won't be sent to Zapier.

B. Use case 2: When the lead form is After Questions: In this case, the details will be sent to Zapier only when the user submits the details for the lead form.
