To view the raw data sent to your endpoint when users submit your form, you can first copy and use https://www.jotform.com/show-post-data/ as a temporary destination URL. This lets you see the raw POST data structure, including the variables and their values, helping you debug before you finalize your setup for redirecting your form to an external page that supports HTTP POST to include submission data.
See also: How to Send Submission Data Using a POST Request.
Follow these steps to test and view submission data on the page users are redirected to:
- In Form Builder, click on the Settings tab.
- Then, click on the Thank You Page tab on the left side of the page.
- In the Thank You Page Settings on the right, select Redirect to an external link after submission. See How to Redirect Users After Submission.
- After that, paste https://www.jotform.com/show-post-data/ into the Enter URL setting.
- Then, toggle the Redirect with HTTP POST setting to the On position.
Note
The changes you make in the Form Builder are saved automatically. When you set or update your form’s redirect link, you’ll see a message confirming that it has been saved successfully.
You should now be able to see your submission’s data structure and POST variables when you submit the form for testing. In this example form, the output looks as follows:
Data Submitted:
Array ( [submission_id] => 5264586364403223222 [formID] => 213185545698973 [ip] => 10.146.210.44 [name] => Array ( [first] => Jane [last] => Doe ) [email] => jane.doe@jotform.com [message] => Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. )
PHP Code:
$_POST['submission_id'];
$_POST['formID'];
$_POST['ip'];
$_POST['name']['first'];$_POST['name']['last'];
$_POST['email'];
$_POST['message'];

At least on our instance, step 3, Scroll down to Send Post Data and set it to “Enabled.” is incorrect. This is enabled on the Thank You Page.

Hi,
We are created a Jotform for yearly user registration with Name, Email, Address, School information, Collage Information and other fields.
We have previous registered user information in CC with all above field.
We want to load a previous user info after user given his email address. So previously user can update his/her information if required and saved in CC.
For new user all a new record get created in CC after submission of Jot Form.
Can you please let us know how we can integrate the Jotform with CC.
