Given a link from within FB Messenger to a Jot Form, how does one pre fill the jot form?

You can prepopulate the field in your form through URL parameters.
Here's a guide that you may use as a reference — Prepopulating-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters
If you have other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Thanks Mike, I have tried to follow the guide but the coding within FB pages and messenger was to complicated for me to follow. I am trying to integrate a method of prepopulating for example a jotform reservation with login permissions received from FB from within messenger.
Are there any other resources you may suggest?
Thanks

I am afraid that we do not have an option to grab some data from the Facebook Messenger to be able to use it for pre-population.
You may check the Facebook documentation for developers to see if something similar is possible. It seems that they support custom messenger bots:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/
So in theory, it might be possible to create a bot that will collect data from people and generate the form pre-population links.
