weptoken

We create and update an "Application Variable" in your application. This variable is updated twice a day, but you can request more frequent updates. When the WEP Token is updated, the button URL will also be updated, and the previous URL will expire automatically. This helps make WEP Forms more secure.

You need to use it in your button as shown below:

&"&weptoken="&URLEncode([WEP Forms Token])

Required

URL(Button) Only
