Skip form for known contacts on external landing page - is this possible?

[CC_x]

Hello! We’re preparing to send an email announcing a new report we’re publishing.

Ideally we’d like the workflow to be:

• The email links to our external landing page (not a HubSpot-hosted page)
• That page should display a download form only if the visitor isn’t cookied or isn’t already known
• If the contact has received the email or is already cookied/identified, we’d like them to bypass the form entirely and simply be shown a link to download the report

Is that possible?

Hey, @CC_x I think this one is a bit sneaky and tricky to implement without a backend server to securely handle the auth and API calls. Sending API calls from the browser is a big risk and should be avoided for anything in production.

One alternative that only uses JS is to utilize a query parameter. To pass the “known” status securely via the link itself without needing complex API calls.

• From your email — update your link to something like this: Link URL: https://www.yourlandingpage.com?status=verified&email={{contact.email}}
• Run a small script on your external landing page that runs immediately when the page loads to check if the status is known and hide the form <div> or if unknown, display the form.

I hope this helps get you moving forward! — Jaycee
