Add External Placeholder to Smart Sheet Form
Hi there,
I'm wanting to embed a simple SmartSheet Form in another program either via link or embed.
The other system has placeholder tags which I would like to use.
I can't figure out how to make it work so that the placeholders get pulled through to the form.
Here's a link to the help info from the other system.
Is there a specific field I should use to do this?

Hey Andrew,
I did end up figuring this out.
The placeholders from the other system are used in the URL
This was the best example I could find. https://www.laserfiche.com/ecmblog/tech-tip-using-url-parameters-to-pre-fill-form-fields/
Essentially it enabled me to fill in the "form fields" using data from the system.
Then, that data gets sent back to smartsheet.
Appreciate the reply though!

Hi @CampbellW
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Smartsheet API
- Specific web development (I think I've seen something in the Community similar to your use case. I'll get back to the post if I find it)
Are any of those an option?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic day!
Best,

Excellent!
Glad you got it working!
I misunderstood and thought you wanted it the other way.
