| + | ====== Set Browser Cookie ====== | ||
| + | This action will let you build an [[Expression Builder|expression]], and then save the results of that expression into the browser cookie you specify. | ||
| + | ===== Explanation ===== | ||
| + | Set browser cookie actions are used to set a piece of data into the browser's collection of cookies, which can be later read out of the browser with the [[Expression Function - Read Cookie|Read Cookie]] expression function. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example: Suppose you're building an application to allow people to receive links in their email that bring them to a [[Form Type - Page|page]] in your application that is a survey; and you only want to allow them to take this survey one time. You can use a set cookie action to write a cookie into their browser that identifies each survey they've taken so that if they try and take it a second time you can read that cookie from their browser and redirect them to a different page. | ||
