• You want a memorable URL to share or print
• You need to track submissions by identifier (order number, license plate, etc.)
• Examples: car rental returns, delivery documentation, recurring inspections

Choose One-time Request when:

• You need photos for a specific, one-off task
• Each request is for a single customer or event
• You want the link to expire after submission or deadline
