How it works

Only share each update link with people who should see all of that record’s fields. An update link acts as a key to the entire record: anyone who opens it can view every field on the record, even fields that don’t appear as questions on the form. This is what lets update forms use any record field for pre-filling, answer piping, show/hide logic, and calculations.To keep certain fields private, store them in a separate object so they aren’t part of the record being updated, or restrict prefilled data so the form only loads fields mapped to questions.

Publish and share

Complete your setup by clicking Update and Publish.To update a Salesforce record, click Preview and select a Record to update or click one of the unique links from your Salesforce object.Screenshot 2025-11-11 at 5.21.44 PM.pngYour form will automatically pre-fill the data for the record it is updating.
If you don’t provide an id in the unique URL, the form will create a new record instead.

Advanced next steps (optional)

Enhance your update forms by integrating them with platforms like Salesforce App Builder or Lightning Experience. Instead of the formula in Step 3, you might consider using a Button field. This button can then be embedded within Salesforce interfaces for users to easily manage records.
