Prefill fields with easy embed

Ask a question
1

I’m looking to prefill a hidden field through the easy embed function. I understand the possibility to do so through the regular URL, i.e. …activehosted.com/f/11?hidden_field=

However I can’t seem to get this working when using the easy embed function. Whenever I change the URL in the script to …activehosted.com//f/embed.php?id=11&hidden_field= it won’t record the hidden field on sending the form.

Does anyone have a work-around for this? Preferably without having to embed the entire JS code.

Thanks

You have to create a field of the type hidden field and then name it “Some_name” and then use the parameter &some_name= on the form.

Hi upd223,

Biannca here from our CX team, I just wanted to update this thread for anyone that comes across this.

The method elliotts53111 is referring to is adding a query string to your form’s URL to collect data.

Here’s an example of how to format that:
https://example.activehosted.com/f/15?hidden_field=fieldvalue
