I have a form that uses URL parameters to prepopulate fields, using getQueryStringParameter.

 

When I simply publish the form using the URL, this works fine.  But when I try to use the same technique with an embedded form and add those URL parameters to the src parameter of the iframe tag, it says "The form is Unavailable".

 

Is there a trick to getting this to work?

Hi @msalamon,

 

The query string parameters look at the browser level URL of the overall site and not the embed code its self, To use the query string parameters for embedded forms you need to add the string to the full site URL, see below as an example.

 

 


Jake, that makes sense.  Thanks for the quick reply!


have this been update? don’t really want to add the data on the browser URL


Hi ​@RC1101,

Please provide more details about the solution you are trying to achieve.
If you do not want to use parameters in the form's URL, an alternative option for drawing data is to use a data source.


We want to allow our B2B to let them put in service request. the site will have their account# and login info. and want to pass that to start a workflows. While most of them probably not tech savvy, still don’t want them to see it on a URL where they can bookmark and change the URL.


Hi ​@RC1101,

The only other option I can think of is to create a form plugin that collects the logged-in person’s details.
If you do not want to create your own plugin, the JS-Insert plugin from the gallery may be used to achieve the solution.

yes, I was testing with the js-inset and then plugin settings disappear. guess I have to let them no this idea is no go.


Hi ​@RC1101 

I’m sure the support team will have your plugin issue fixed in  no time.
