Pre fill form fields known user

Hi,

I want to split my sign up process in two parts in order to capture email addresses more easily. It would go like this:

  1. someone fills out form 1 with only Full Name and Email required.
  2. this person is redirected to the follow up URL with form 2 where the rest of the required fields need to be filled out

My question now is, does AC automatically pre-fill the Name and Email fields in form 2 when Site Tracking is on and a native form is used?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi @conversioncompany,

If you would like form 2 to pre-fill information we can do that by passing the variables. To accomplish this I refer to @jskole’s solution:

Right now you can pass variables to different forms by appending the variables to the URL in the toolbar. For example activecampaign.com/forms/2?email=jskole@activecampaign.com would pre-fill the email field in the form with jskole@activecampaign.com

That means that if you wanted to create a multi-stage form, instead of displaying a “thank you” message you could redirect the user on submit to your second form, and append whatever personalization tags you wish to prefill, for example activecampaign.com/forms/2?email=%EMAIL% (link pictured)

Here is a visual of the above:

This was also addressed in another AC Forum question in more detail for reference.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I did this thing once but it was a long-ago before I found out about AC. For such a purpose I created two URL’s that actually had been scripted form I took from here https://990-pf.pdffiller.com/ It worked quite fast so I left this thing as is. It’s also easy to do with the very AC as well but this way would come in use to you if you have some projects ain’t connected to your account
