cognito-forms
I created a pre-registration form for summer camps. Now I need to confirm these registrations and create a signed contract.
I am a developer for Cognito Forms.
You have a couple of options:
You can pass information to another page via the redirect url and querystring paramaters: https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/181/building-forms/posting-data-through-the-redirect-url
You can post the entire form as JSON to a webhook: https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/66/data-integration/webhooks
Your best option in this case would likely be the first option as it will happen synchronously and would support data to both scripts on the client and code on the server. Please add comments to your question to clarify it if this does not answer your question.
Entries in Cognito Forms can have an Entry Status of either Pending or Complete. All entries initially have a Entry Status of Pending, but administrators can mark entries as Complete when they have finished processing an entry. You can also quickly filter entries by Entry Status, which makes it easy to work through the current pending list.
We plan to leverage this Entry Status in the future to support additional features, including Save & Resume, where entries that have been saved but not yet submitted would have a different Entry Status, and workflow, where you may be able to define your own Entry Status options and trigger notifications and approval processes.
This Entry Status is separate from the Payment Status, which tracks whether an entry has been paid. This is helpful when you need to fulfill orders, as the Payment Status might be Paid if paid online when the entry was submitted or Unpaid if a cash or check option was selected. Separate from payment, you would use the Entry Status to determine if the goods or services had actually been delivered to the customer.
This is how filtering by Entry and/or Payment Status looks when managing entries:

There are two ways to accomplish this in Cognito Forms:
You can use our prefill feature to create prefill links to send out to your registrants, where the links include entry information from the first form to prefill the second form. https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/65/data-integration/prefilling-a-form
You can enhance your original form to include the additional information you which to collect, and ask your registrants to complete their registration by sending them an email, through Cognito Forms, that includes a secure link to their registration form.

Since the second option is by far more elegant and powerful, I will provide a bit more detail on best practices for doing this:
Using this approach, these shared registration entries will have a status of Incomplete, which will visually show you which have been resubmitted and which are still awaiting further information. By making these additional fields only appear when you have approved the pre-registration (by updating the internal field you added), you will be able to use this form for pre-registration next year as well.
