URL Prefill Settings

URL Prefill Key

You can use URL Prefills to share your form URL with anyone and have it automatically pre-populate data into your form fields.

Learn: What is a URL Prefill (Pre-Populated Fields) and How to Use Them in On2Air Forms How to Add URL Prefills for Linked Records (Pre-Populate Linked Records)

Use-Case: You can send a form to someone with their first and last name already filled in on the form. You can send a form with someone’s Company linked record already added to their form.

The Key is used to set this field value from the URL (i.e. ?key=value) You then add a value in the Prefill field. Remove the Key to disable URL Prefills for this field

Example:

In this example, the URL Prefill Key is status

By default, the URL Prefill Key is the Field Name. You can change it if needed

Next, click Set Prefill and add the Prefill value of Completed to the Status field

Next, click Share Form

• Click Include Prefills

You can see the Key and Value have been added to the URL

?status=Completed

The form will now have the Status field already completed when sharing the URL
