Users can submit the form multiple times

  • Howdy,

    We have recently started using this plugin and we have come to realize that the users can click on the submit button multiple times, causing the form to be submitted multiple times (plus, we get multiple emails/submissions).
    To solve it, we advise to disable the submit button when the user clicks on it and enable it once the form is submitted or something failed.

    Our custom solution to this error is to hook into the JS events and manually disable the submit button upon submission.

    Best regards ??

    @tausworks Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add it to my list for consideration in the future. I really appreciate the feedback.

    @linksoftware I have more ideas to improve the plugin (e.g. make it more developer friendly). Is there a way I can contribute? ??

    If not, I can also create new threads with each idea. For example, the one I have on mind at the moment, is to provide an object on the error JS event, with the fields that didn’t pass validation. This way, we can highlight the errored fields to the user and be a bit more UX friendly.

    I would prefer that over using the support forum.
