How To Pre-Populate Campaign Submission Form Fields With Your Customers' Information

Introduction

Pre-populating form fields in your campaigns can significantly enhance the user experience, making it easier for customers to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or sign-up campaigns. This guide demonstrates how to automatically fill form fields with personal information from your customer database.

Prepopulating Fields in Your Campaign

To facilitate a smooth entry process for your participants, you can pre-populate submission forms with their details like email, name, and other required information. This method is particularly useful if you're inviting a large group from your email database to join a campaign.

Steps to Prepopulate Form Fields:

1. Access Campaign Settings:
   • Go to the settings of your campaign.
   • Locate the submission form settings to identify the field names (e.g., email, first name, last name).
2. Prepare the URL:
   • Copy the URL of your campaign.
   • Add a question mark (?) at the end of the URL.
   • Append each field name followed by an equal sign (=) and the respective dynamic content or mail merge code.
     • For example: email={EmailMergeField}&first={FirstNameField}&last={LastNameField}
   • Use an ampersand (&) to separate multiple field parameters.
3. Utilize Mail Merge Functionality:
   • Replace placeholders (e.g., {EmailMergeField}) with your email service provider's specific mail merge codes to dynamically insert user data.
   • This will ensure that when an individual receives the email, these fields are automatically filled with their personal information.
4. Testing:
   • Test the pre-populated URL in a private window to ensure the fields are correctly filled.
   • Remember, the URL should display the form with fields automatically filled with the data specified in the URL parameters.

Finding Mail Merge Codes:

• Most email service providers offer mail merge or personalized fields functionality.
• Search their knowledge base for terms like “mail merge data into links” or “parameters in URL” for specific instructions.

Conclusion:

By pre-populating form fields, you enhance the ease of participation in your campaigns, potentially increasing conversion rates. Ensure you correctly set up the URLs with the appropriate parameters and test thoroughly before sending out to your database.
