Technical Notes

Pre-populate Field Values

You can pre-populate the value of any field by setting the Value field in the Form Builder field settings.

Default values can also be passed via query string parameters as long as the field's Value has curly brackets around the same values as the field's Name: {{}}

For example:

• Field's Name: Email

• Field's Value: {{email}}

Then, linking to the url {{form_url}}?email=[e-mail] would pre-populate the Email field with the value [e-mail].

The success message can also be overwritten by passing the success_message query string parameter. For example: {{form_url}}?success_message=Your+return+is+in+process.

Hosted MESA Forms on Shopify support these same query string parameters.

Here is an example of a field's Value: {{customer.id}}

Success Redirect URL

The Success Redirect URL field allows you to add your own redirect that displays a success message after a form is submitted.

Captcha

The Captcha field can add a Captcha Checkbox to prevent unwanted spam from bots and solicitors.

Here's what it looks like when visiting the Form URL.
