How to avoid duplicate entries when users are creating data in forms

How To
#1

I have a practical issue that entries in the forms are getting duplicated, as users chose to enter a new data when they have access to the link. This is creating duplication of entries in my database connected to the form.
How can I avoid duplicate entries, possibly using email address as a unique field ?

Hi @uaebsagt ,
Yes, you can use the email as the unique key to merge records together for sure.

Could you please explain the use case ? I am guessing you need to send links to only authenticated users and they cant submit the form second time ?

Yes, thats the right interpretation. We would like to avoid any duplicate entries, so we want to authenticate through email, or when someone is entering their email in the form, system should be able to detect if the email has already been captured. Request your kind support and advice in this regard.
