The method
Use this technique to pre-populate WPForms fields using URL parameters. Useful for targeted marketing campaigns or personalized user experiences. Add query parameters to the URL (e.g., ?name=John&[email protected]). In WPForms, map these parameters to corresponding fields. Test thoroughly.
The prompts
Prompt 1
I want to configure a WPForms form to automatically populate the 'Name' and 'Email' fields when a user arrives at the page via a specific URL. The URL will contain query parameters like `?name=JohnDoe&[email protected]`. Can you provide detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to set up the form and map the query parameters to the correct form fields, including screenshots or specific references to relevant WPForms documentation? Also, what security considerations should I be aware of when using this method to avoid potential vulnerabilities or data breaches?
Prompt 2
I am building a landing page for a marketing campaign, and I want to pre-fill the 'Campaign Source' field in my WPForms form based on the `utm_source` parameter in the URL. If the URL is `www.example.com/landing-page?utm_source=facebook`, the 'Campaign Source' field should automatically display 'facebook'. How can I achieve this using WPForms, and how can I ensure that this functionality works seamlessly even if the `utm_source` parameter is missing or has a different value? Please outline the specific steps, including any necessary code snippets or configuration settings within WPForms.
Prompt 3
Suppose I need to populate hidden fields in WPForms based on URL parameters, specifically to track the source of a lead. I want to capture the 'affiliate_id' from the URL and store it in a hidden field in my form submission. How can I configure WPForms to achieve this, and what are the implications for data privacy and GDPR compliance? Should I inform users about the collection of this data, and how can I ensure that I am adhering to best practices for data handling and security in this scenario? Provide specific code snippets or configurations needed.
