How can I prefill an Airtable form embedded in a Webflow page using URL parameters?

To prefill an Airtable form embedded in a Webflow page using URL parameters, you need to modify the form's embed code and incorporate the URL parameters in the appropriate fields. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:

1. Get the embed code for the Airtable form: In your Airtable account, go to the desired base and table where the form is located. Click on the "Share" button, select the form you want to embed, and then click on the "Embed" tab. Copy the provided HTML embed code.

2. Embed the Airtable form in your Webflow page: In your Webflow designer, navigate to the page where you want to embed the form. Add an HTML embed element by dragging and dropping it onto the page.

3. Paste the embed code: Paste the previously copied Airtable form embed code into the HTML embed element in Webflow. You should see the Airtable form rendered in the designer preview.

4. Modify the embed code: Before saving the embed code in Webflow, you need to modify it to include URL parameters for prefilling the form fields. Each form input field in the embed code has an associated `name` attribute that you can target.

For example, if you have a form field with the name "name", the modified URL parameter would be `?prefill_name=John+Doe`. Similarly, if you have an email field with the name "email", the modified URL parameter would be `?prefill_email=johndoe@example.com`.

To prefill multiple fields, you can append additional URL parameters, separating them with an "&" symbol. For example: `?prefill_name=John+Doe&prefill_email=johndoe@example.com`.

5. Add the modified URL parameter to the embedded form: Locate the form input fields in the embed code and append the appropriate modified URL parameter to the field's `value` attribute.

For example, if you find an input field with `<input name="name" ...>`, you would add `value="John Doe"` to prefill the name field.

6. Publish the page: Save and publish the Webflow page with the embedded Airtable form.

Now, when someone accesses the page with the modified URL parameters, the form fields will be pre-filled accordingly. Ensure that you properly encode any special characters or spaces in the URL parameters using URL encoding standards.

Remember to test the form thoroughly to ensure that all fields are being prefilled correctly.
