    Will this work on an embedded form?
    That is, the 2 forms are embedded on a website (as you would do 99.9% of the time).
    Will this process still work?

    It should work if the form is embedded with the iframe embed. You can add URL parameters to the webpage URL.

    To clarify...
    It must be iFrame?
    Not the other, default embed code?

    "Should" work?
    LOL :-)
    Since most forms are embedded on a website, one would hope.
    Thanks for the reply. And looking forward to clarification about it needing to be iFrame.

    Cheers,

    Sorry, 1 more thing...
    Does form 1 need to be set and follows?:
    Send Post Data = Yes

    Sorry for the confusion. It does not have to be iFrame. You can also use the default script embed code. I tested with my colleagues both options and it will work if you add URL parameters to the webpage URL.

    The Send Post Data does not have to be enabled. You can set it to No.

    Also, please note that most of our users are not embedding their forms. They are using standalone forms.

    Thank you for the confirmation.
    Anyhow, I have embedded both forms with iFrame and all is working.
    Thank you for your help.

    >>The Send Post Data does not have to be enabled. You can set it to No.
    OK, thanks.

    >>most of our users are not embedding their forms. They are using standalone forms.
    Fair enough. Not worth debating, and well, you would have that info :-)
    I am willing to bet more Silver and Gold plan users (agencies and such) embed most of the time.
    Sorry if I was mistaken. I embed 95% of the time. But sometimes, card forms are nice :-)

    Thanks again for your assistance.
