Im looking to capture information from FORM 1, when it redirects to the "success/thank you page" then it fills out form fields on FORM 2. This way i will have there Name and Phone number if they bail on the form.
FORM 1
Name
Phone Number
| SUBMIT | (sends you to the FORM 2 page)
FORM 2
Name: (auto filled from form 1)
Phone Number: (auto filled from form 1)
Business Name:
Address:
Choose a service:
etc
etc
Thanks GF.
How far did you get with this?
Is form 2 on the success/thank you page? If not, you will have to populate a link in that thank you text with all the information you want to send to form two. If you make your confirmation from form one a redirect to form two, you can pass the query string parameters and pre-populate all the information you captured in form one, onto form two.
You will be using "dynamic population" and you can read more about it here.

Please let us know if you need more help. Once you get into it it starts to make sense, and it's very powerful. I think you're on the right track.

I'm not sure if it's better to start a new thread or post here - I'll try here first. This is exactly what I am trying to do, with the success/thank you page of one form be a second form that the user needs to continue to fill out. I understand how dynamic population works and I have all of my dynamic fields set up, here is where I am stuck. When you say "use query string parameters" I assume you mean like in the example in the documentation like this:
http://siteurl.com/form-url/?parent_1_name=value
what do I put in the "value" portion to make it pull from the previous form? Could you show me an example of a line that will actually pull from the previous form?
I'm so sorry if this is obvious, this seems to be a mental block for me!
What you put in the "value" of the query string would be merge tags (using the merge tag drop down) from the corresponding field from Form #1. That's how value's from form 1 will be passed to form #2.

The first form redirects to the second but how do I make it create the url with the data? Basically im stuck.
My Field Parameter Names are
- first
- last
- email
- startdate
And i want those to transfer to the second form.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Chris, it looks like you got this working?
