Passing values into an anonymous SmartForm via the URL

A version of Survey Monkey has a feature called piping where values can be added to a form via the URL.

 

Is a similar thing possible with an Anonymous Form?

 

For example if the URL looked similiar to this: https://k2.acme.org/Runtime/Runtime/Form/Licence+Renewal+Ext/?CustomValue=123

 

The field in the SmartForm called CustomValue would contain "123" when opened by the user.

Hi,


The short answer is, no, this is currently not a feature in SmartForms.


 


However, it is not difficult to achieve this. You just need to configure them manually. In your form, you need to create a parameter, then when the form loads, map that parameter value to the control you want. This should work regardless of whether you form is anonymous or not.

Thanks for confirming this. I have decided to use K2 to generate the URL which will contain the values to then load into the SurveyMonkey form. The next challenge is to create an API connection with SurveyMonkey.
