How can I add pre-filled values to my registration form?

When you already know some of the answers before your users come to your registration form, you can fill those answers in for them before their arrival (or pre-fill them)

Using a specifically formatted URL for your landing page, you can pre-fill custom registration fields for specific people. Whether you want to make a VIP registrant have a seamless experience, or you are using your CRM to send one-click registration emails to your whole list of prospective attendees, the format will stay the same 

How can I pre-populate the name and email fields on my BigMarker registration form? 

You can pre-populate name and email fields in your BigMarker registration form by adding the following URL parameter to the end of your event’s registration link:

?first_name={value}&last_name={value}&email={value}

Then substitute your registrant’s first name, last name, full name and email address into the where we see "value." This ensures that your registrant’s own name and email will appear when they click the registration button:

https://www.bigmarker.com/sample/sample?first_name=john&last_name=doe&email=john.doe@vector.com

How can I pre-populate custom registration fields on my BigMarker registration form?  

You not only can pre-fill basic registration fields, but also your custom registration fields.

First, create a custom registration field for your event. similar to the format above, add your custom fields and values by simplly adding &{registration_field_name}={value} 

Then, as you did for the name and email fields, replace “{registration_field_name}” with the name of your custom registration field (Title, Country, etc.). Then replace “value” with your desired prefilled value (aka, the one you want to appear on your registration form). 

Let's Put It All Together

With these concepts you can unlock even more potential with your registration fields.

Consider using one click registration links to truly speed up your registration. With this enabled, as long as you include name and email address into these pre-filled fields, immediately after clicking on a pre-filled link, that person is registered.

Additionally, pre-filling values is essentially the same idea as using UTM codes. You can use these URL formats to fill out any registration field, including your hidden ones.
