Pre-Filled Form URLs
Hi SS Community,
I created a formula that builds the URL below to pre-fill fields on a form using values from a table. The resulting string works when I copy & paste it into a browser window, but not when I click on the link in the Smartsheet table, the last field (Personal Email) is blank. Does this mean that there is an error in the formula?
FORMULA:
=SUBSTITUTE(("https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/833532b90edd4095bbc397e870a7ff7e?Full%20Name=" + [Full Name]@row + "&Application ID=" + [Application ID]@row + "&Work Email=" + [Work Email]@row + "&Personal Email=" + [Personal Email]@row), " ", "%20")
FORMULA RESULT:
Screenshot: Copy & Paste URL
Screenshot: Click URL in SS Table

@tnayak you can’t have special characters like the @ symbol in the URL. You need to use that SUBSTITUTE to change the @ to “%40”. Here’s the help article, it lists all special characters you need to replace:

Thank you! I saw that I needed to replace the blank spaces, but missed the @.
