Editing Pre fill fields (section)

== Step-by-step instructions ==
Pre-filling form fields involves three primary steps. Follow the instructions below to successfully create your query string and update your URL.

=== Step 1: Identify form fields and personalization tags ===
In the **Fields** section, you will see both standard and custom fields. Each field has an associated '''personalization tag'''. For instance, to pre-fill a first name and an email address, you would identify the following tags:
- First Name field: %FIRSTNAME%
- Email Address field: %EMAIL%

Make sure to copy these personalization tags for the fields you would like to pre-fill.

=== Step 2: Create the query string ===
The query string to pre-fill fields follows a specific format. Each field you wish to autofill will need to be defined as follows:
- For a single field: 
  ''?fieldname=%PERSONALIZATION-TAG%''
  
- For multiple fields, use the ampersand (&) to separate each entry:
  ''?fieldname=%PERSONALIZATION-TAG%&fieldname=%PERSONALIZATION-TAG%''
  
Continuing with our example, for the first name and email address:
''?firstname=%FIRSTNAME%&email=%EMAIL%''

=== Step 3: Append your webpage or form URL with the query string ===
After you create your designated query string, the next step is to append it to the URL you will be using. Below are the guidelines for both webpage and form URLs:

*Webpage URL*
- This method will work for any form type.
- Work with your web host provider to add the query string to the end of your webpage URL. 
- An example of a full webpage URL may look like this:
  ''www.activecampaign.com/support?firstname=%FIRSTNAME%&email=%EMAIL%''

*Form URL*
- This method is applicable only for inline forms.
- You can use the query string in the form's URL path and share it accordingly.
- To retrieve the Form's link, follow these steps:
  1. Click on **Website** > **Forms**.
  2. Select the specific form.
  3. Click the **Integrate** button.
  4. Go to the **Link** tab.
  
The final URL may resemble this:
''https://youracaccountname.activehosted.com/f/213?email=%EMAIL%''

With the query string added, share the form link wherever necessary.
