You can use the duplicate function to include a reorder link with pre-filled order details. The syntax for the duplicate function is ${duplicate(url)}. We can use the markdown language to add it as a hyperlink.

Syntax:
[call to action text] (${duplicate(url)})

For example:
[Buy this order again] (${duplicate("https://shop.neartail.com/public/114565391771428289104/all/form/1FAIpQLScc_V5zi8_QTRDcJzQ5ZyymCuuNIRiQr7VbbsCnEtqz_Bsi2Q")})

Step 6: Use the markdown language to add the reorder link in the email message as shown below.
Step 7: Submit a test response to check if the email notifications are working. If it works, click on the YES button. Otherwise, click on the NO button.
If the test is successful, users will receive the confirmation email when they submit the form.
If the test email notifications doesn't work, you should click on the NO button and it will automatically try to fix the email trigger. You can submit another test response to check if the email notification works. If you still face any issues, you can get in touch with our support team.
