    Hello to everyone. Trying to push this to it’s limits. Can it be done?
    (I’m using FSCF along with another plugin called URL Params, which allows FSCF fields to be viewed on the redirected page)

    Here’s what I’m trying to do:
    Form 24 captures name and email. redirects to a thank you page. Field “name” shows on redirected page. Confirmation email sends, which includes name from form 24.

    Here’s what I’m trying to do: I want to include a referral url in this email (Tell your friends!) This url sends them to another separate page, with form 27 on it.

    I would like to be able to include the “name” field” from form 24 into the imbedded url to pass to form 27. example: http://www.website url/?27referred=24referred

    On Form 24 I have enabled posted data to be sent. Renaming fields:
    First-Name=24name
    from_email=24email
    Referred-by=24referred

    On Form 27 I have enabled posted data to be sent. Renaming fields:
    First-Name=24name
    from_email=24email
    Referred-by=24referred

    I want the “Referred-by” field on form 27 to pick up the passed variable from Form 24.

    When form 27 is filled out, it redirects back to the same page as form 24 redirects to.

    I value input from anyone here. Mike, this doesn’t have to be a long researched support issue. Just something I’d like to try to work if it is possible.

    Hi Ray, I understand what you are trying to do. Have you by any chance read the following documentation?

    Yes, I’ve had that document bookmarked for reference for quite a while. Passing the variable to another page works. What I’m trying to accomplish is getting it embedded correctly in the confirmation email, as part of a link that can be clicked on.

    field tag = [First-Name] (let’s say “John”)

    In the html confirmation email I want to have a link that includes name(john).

    example:
    P.S.  You don’t have to keep us a secret.  If you have friends who would like to get on our invitation list just forward this email to them, and have them click on this
    link: Check out this Fantastic Show!

    But when sent, the email is not ?refer=John, it shows ?refer=[From-Name].

    Hi, I will submit a message to the plugin developer to investigate further your request.

    Thank you

    I found the problem. I was getting my Field Tags confused with my query strings to send.

    I must remember:

    Field Tags are what are used in conformation emails

    Query strings are used to send data from one form to the next.

    Case resolved.

    I am happy to know that you have resolved your issue 🙂

    Enjoy the plugin.
