Auto-filling via URL parameters in Youform

The "Auto fill via URL parameter" feature allows you to have blocks automatically filled out using URL parameters.

How it works:

​Let's say you have a single input block where you are asking for email. On the right side of the editor you will see "Auto fill via URL parameter".
For e.g name this "email":
Now you can add ?email=name@email.com to the end of your form's URL, and the email address " name@email.com " would be automatically added in the form.

For Rating blocks, you can do the same thing:
Then add ?rating=4 (or you could do 5) to the end of your form's URL:

This feature is available for the following block types:
  • Single line Input
  • Number
  • Website URL
  • Date
  • Star rating
  • Opinion scale
  • Single select option
  • Multi select option
  • Dropdown

How to auto fill from URL parameter for Option type questions?

For option type questions like Single select, Multi select and Dropdown, you can proceed by naming the auto-fill param form the right editor (as mentioned above). Then to get the option ids click on the dropdown chevron from the options in right editor and then copy the option ids.
So if you name your block's autofill param say choice then you can add it in URL parameter as: ?choice=option_id
Note: for multi select you can add coma seperated option ids like: ?choices=option_id_1,option_id_2
