GravityView - Magic Links

Letting people fix a typo or update a submission usually means creating accounts and resetting forgotten passwords. GravityView – Magic Links removes that step. Once someone submits a form, a unique link arrives in their inbox and takes them straight to their own entry, where they can make changes at their convenience.

The plugin works with GravityView and gives administrators control over who can ask for a link. You can validate email addresses or limit requests to specific domains, and you can set expiration times for both the link and the editing window. It suits sites that collect information users may need to correct later, such as registrations, surveys and applications.

Features

• Unique, time-limited edit links: Each user receives a secure link by email that opens their own form entry for editing, so no account or password is needed to make changes.
• Email validation controls: Decide who can request an edit link by validating the email address against the one tied to the entry, so only the right person gets access.
• Domain restrictions: Limit link requests to specific email domains. This helps when only people from certain organizations should be able to edit their submissions.
• Adjustable expiration settings: Set how long a link stays valid and how long the editing window lasts, which keeps access to submitted data limited in time.
• Automated email delivery: Magic links are sent by email after a form is submitted or when a user requests one, with no manual sending required.
• Entry-specific link scope: A magic link works only for the entry, View and action it was created for, which keeps each link tied to its intended purpose.
• Merge tag for links: The {gv_magic_link} merge tag places a magic link in notifications and confirmations, so you can hand users their edit link where it fits your workflow.
• Built to work with GravityView: The plugin follows each View's email validation settings, so link requests behave consistently with how your GravityView setup is configured.
