Form Handling

How It Works

-

When a user visits a job detail page, the plugin automatically:

• Adds hidden fields with job ID and job title to the form

• Displays the configured form at the bottom of the page

-

When a user submits an application:

• The form data is processed by the respective form plugin

• GoTechArk Easy Job Apply logs the application

• Application count is incremented
