How to use Parameters with ShortStack

[badsha00313]

ShortStack has a very flexible Campaign Builder that can afford users to customize their campaign perfectly to their needs. Our flexible combination of the Form Container, filled with individual Field Widgets makes using query string parameters possible. Couple that with our Action Widget, and the possibilities are almost limitless. Let’s take a look at the two most commonly used practices and how you can create them for your next campaign.

Autofilling Parts of a Form
Adding a query string autofill action is easy with ShortStack’s Action Widget. Once your campaign is fully built, with all of the Field Widgets in the Form Container set up, then you can create the action for this feature.

Add an Action Widget to the top of the campaign. (As a best practice, adding phone number lead Action Widgets at the top of your campaign will ensure they always function correctly.) In the pop-up, click on the blue + in the “when section”, select “campaign”, and make sure “when the campaign is finished loading” is selected. Click save.

Next, click on the blue + in the “then” section and select “widget”. In this example, we are auto-filling the Email Field in the form. So, click on “email” in the list of widgets, then select “set field value” in the action box. Lastly, select “use query string parameter” and type in the value that you used to collect the email or field value. In this case, we are using “email”. Save, then save and exit.
