Can I prefill my forms with Salesforce data?

    Asked on May 8, 2024 at 1:11 PM

    My company uses Salesforce, and I'm wondering if Jotform could help us with a specific need. I am wondering if Jotorm has the capability to allow us to interact with clients by sending them pre-filled forms with the data we have on record for them and they could edit fields as needed? For example, being able to build out a template “fact finder” type form that will auto populate with data.

    Additionally, if this is possible, we are looking to see how customizable the form can be, and a huge bonus if we were able to incorporate if-then scenarios.

    I appreciate your help.

    Hi Kynsey,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. You can prefill your Jotform forms with the data that you have from your Salesforce account using the Salesforce Prefill Feature. Let me show you how to do it:

    • In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
    • Go to Prefill on the left.
    • Select Salesforce Prefill from the options.

    • Once you’re done, select Save Settings at the bottom.
