Here is an example of how it would look in MailChimp: ?tfa_1876= *|MERGE0|* To do this, you can use the prefilled link from earlier, but with a merge field instead of a value at the end of the link. You can use this same process with your forms! A simple example of this would be having the first name in the email change based on who is receiving the email. Many email systems have a "merge field" option which you can place into an email template in order to change the value based on the recipient. This is something that you can do with "merge fields". This is useful when you're sending out the same link to a large number of recipients, or embedding each link in a different location, but what if you want to email one link to a number of people and have the link prefill differently for everyone? You would need to change the prefilled link in order to prefill the form differently. You may have noticed that by following these steps, your form will prefill in the exact same way every single time this prefilled link is clicked. There is no limit for letters, only for numbers. This means if you are trying to prefill a number that is longer than 19 digits, it will be cut off. Please Note: FormAssembly's formula engine can only handle a maximum integer/number length of 19 digits. ?tfa_1876= is the link you will provide to your respondents that allows them to access the prefilled form. ? tfa_1876=Īfter the equals sign, you'll want to enter the data that will prefill the form field. Here, we're using the email field "tfa_1876." Add an equals sign after the field alias. Next, pick one field alias from the list that you want to prefill, and place it after the question mark. Here's what our example link looks like: ? Now, place a question mark after the form ID in your URL. Here's a form link from the Publish page, where 4905473 is the form ID. You can use a basic text editor to build your link, like Notepad or TextEdit. Here are the prefill parameters for the form we'll be looking at:
This is called “Prefilling.” You can accomplish this by using a "prefilled link" or "prefilling through the URL". When publishing or sending out your forms, you may wish to have some information automatically populate into the fields in your form.
