    Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.

    Yes, it is possible to pre-populate the texts in the Fill in the Blanks field. To do so, you need to identify the NAME selector of the field you wish to be prepopulated. To identify the name selector, you need to go to the browser's element inspector (Right-click on the field's input box/selector, click Inspect).

    After getting the names of each field, kindly include them in the URL. Please remember to put a question mark "?" after the form URL to declare that you are submitting parameters, then comes the name followed by an equal sign "=", then the value.

    Here is a sample URL to pre-populate the above fields:
