How it maps

From link parameters to a ready-made form

Every value you add to the link maps straight onto a field. Respondents open the form with their details in place and only fill what's missing.

1Query parametersAppend the details you know to the form URL — one parameter per field, like ?email= and &plan=.
2Matched to fieldsFormester reads each parameter and drops its value into the matching field automatically.

Where teams use it

Put pre-fill to work across every channel

Anywhere you already hold a respondent's details, a pre-fill link turns a blank form into a quick confirmation.

Email campaigns

Personalized email links

Merge each recipient's name and details into the form link, so a click opens a form that's already about them.
