Form Prefill : prefilling a form from a webhook request

Good morning!

Is it possible to start a form with a URL parameter, i.e. email address, and then once the form loads, it goes and POSTS to a webhook to retrieve data to prefill the rest of the form?

Using your rules I think it is so close! If (as an example) on form load, if email is prefilled, call a webhook which expects it to pass back JSON parameters to fill the rest of the form.

When I load a prefilled from using the URL's, I don't want everyone to see a HUGE URL parameter list.

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately the option to prefill form using Webhook method is not available.

An alternative option I suggest you check is using the Spreadsheet to Form widget. If you can put your data in a spreadsheet (i.e. Excel), then you can use the spreadsheet as data source to prefill the form.

There is also the built-in Manual Prefill option in the form Publish settings.

I hope this help. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks, unfortunately I want this dynamic so I can't keep updating an excel form.

Is this feature on your future roadmap? Other than this, I think your product is great, just this is a big stumbling block for me.

Thanks!

I understand. I have now submitted this ticket to our development team as a feature request ticket. The feature requested is to have option to prefill the form using Webhook method.

We will notify you here and in your email for any news/updates related to this feature.

Thank you very much Jonathan!

Have a great day
