Hi all,
I hope I can explain my question well enough.
I’m trying to re-use inputs from a short form field (A) to pre-populate a longer form field (B):
Let’s say a user fills out name and email in form (A) and hits “submit”. He/she then gets redirected to form (B) and sees name and email pre-populated before filling out the remaining prompts.
Is that possible? I assume this can be done with custom code, but would love some help with that.
Thanks,
Annika
bumping this. I am looking for the same answer. Also I want the first form to POST before forwarding to the next form, incase user drops.
BUMP
I really need this.
@Dayna_Lynch yes this can be done, and yes it’s custom code.
It depends a fair bit as well on whether you’re using Webflow’s native forms processor for Form 1, or if you’re using your own ( e.g. a Make.com webhook endpoint ).
Unfortunately there isn’t a “general” solution here, but the approach I’d recommend is;
On Form 1 submit have a handler serialize all of the form data into sessionStorage as JSON so it’s temporarily safe. Your form will submit etc as usual. You can redirect to Form 2 however you like.
Form 2’s page would also have a script that checks sessionStorage for Form 1 data. If it finds it, it will load it, and then map specific fields into Form 2 so the user is ready to go.
Feel free to PM me if you need assistance writing the code for this.
Hey, thanks for getting back to me!
I’ll definitely look into this and do some research. I’ll let you know if I need any help, thankyou so much.
