How to Prevent Multiple Form Submissions From the Same User in Salesforce

When a user fills out the same submission form multiple times, it can create duplicate records, affect reporting accuracy, trigger unnecessary workflows, and increase the time spent managing data. These duplicate entries can quickly impact the quality of information stored in Salesforce, making it harder for teams to work with reliable data.

Fortunately, Forms Made Easy provides a simple way to prevent duplicate submissions. In this tech guide, we will show you how to enable this feature and ensure your submission form online collects clean, accurate data while preventing users from submitting the same response multiple times.

Step 1: Go to the My Forms tab and click on the “Create New Form” button.

Step 2: Enter the Form Name and select the Form Type (Salesforce Objects / General Fields).

Step 7: Now, click on “Publish Options”.
