Auto Populate Fields In Your Tool URLs

Auto Populating Forms by using URL parameters.

You can use URL Parameters to auto populate fields on single page tools. The URL parameters will directly relate to the question ID you are wishing to have it populate.

Be mindful of using spaces, and properly encoding your text without spaces. Use proper URL Encoding Functions from https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP

Form builder IDs

The first step is to properly note your IDs you are using for your questions. Below is an example of the IDs: email, destination, and fullname

Make note of the type of fields you are populating, multiline inputs will accept any type of text, however number fields will only populate with numbers and dates and will not accept text values.

You can see in the example below, we are using the parameter string

?destination=Greece&[email protected]&fullname=John%20Smith

As you can see the order of the parameters does not matter, and parameters properly encoded such as "John Smith" has the space encoded with "%20". Formwise will automatically recognize this.
