    Basically, I have a list of users with name and email, I need to send the form to them but with a custom link per user and prepopulated the fields of name and email, is just not to make them repeat that info and potentially make mistakes on that part

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I suggest using the Prepopulating Form Fields via URL Parameters. You can prepopulate your form fields by including the query strings in the URL. But we already have a tool available that you can use to generate a URL easily. Let me show you how to do it:
