Shortcodes in Confirmation Settings

Submission and Field-Specific Shortcode
To show a specific field value from a form submission on the front end, add this shortcode manually:
[[ff_entry form_id='1' entry_id='{submission.id}' field='url' is_html=false]]
Replace form_id, field, and other parameters to match your form and the field you want to display.
To add shortcodes inside a confirmation message, open your form's Settings & Integrations tab and use Confirmation Settings. See Setup Form Submission Confirmation Message in Fluent Forms for step-by-step setup. For more dynamic options, see Using Helper Shortcodes.
