Deliver a personalized experience with pre-filled forms

Deliver a personalized experience with pre-filled forms




Hello everyone,

As a trainer, you always strive to understand how well your learners grasp each lesson. You can embed the form as part of the lesson material to collect learners’ feedback. To make this process smoother, you can use a pre-populated form, saving time and improving the learners’ overall experience.

Welcome to the TrainerCentral Tips and Tricks series. In this post, we’ll show you how to pre-fill learner details in embedded forms to boost efficiency.



To learn how to embed the form as part of your material, refer here.

What fields can you pre-fill in a form?   

Here are the fields that support pre-filling. 

Field
Value
Learner's first name  
tcFirstName
Learner's last name
tcLastName
Learner's Email address
tcEmail
Course's id
tcCourseId
Course's name
tcCourseName

We've provided the corresponding values for each field. You can append these values to the form’s field alias in the embedded URL to populate the fields automatically.

Let's see how to find the field aliases and append them to the URL.

Step 1: Find field alias


  1. Navigate to your source form. i.e. Google form, Zoho form, or any other form.
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. Click Field Alias - Prefill URL in the left panel.
  4. Copy the Field Alias field for all of the required fields from this page. These fields will act as your keyword for the embedded link and iframe request.

Step 2: Construct the URL
  1. Add ? after the URL. For example: https://www.forms.zylkertechtraining.com/forms?
  2. Append the copied keyword and match it with the value. For example: https://www.forms.zylkertechtraining.com/forms?FName=tcFirstName
  3. Add & to add a subsequent keyword and the matching value. For example: https://www.forms.zylkertechtraining.com/forms?firstName=tcFirstName&LName=tclastname
  4. Repeat it for the required fields.
Notes
Follow the same steps for Embed iframe, and the URL will be located in the src.



Pre-filling the learner's data will eliminate data inconsistency and enhance efficiency. The fewer clicks required, the more likely the learners are to engage with your form and enjoy their learning journey.
