How to pass values stored in Appcues to the embeded typeform as hidden variables?

L

Hey Folks!

I have attached typeform url in custom HTML link to embed the form onsite. While doing this, I would want to pass Name and Email that we are storing in Appcues to typeform so that I can personalize. Can someone help me to achieve this

Hi @Loki1999 While I’m not terribly familiar with Appcues, after asking our tech team and browsing their Help Center, it looks like you’ll need to pass their information into Typeform through a cookie, which would be coding you’d need to create. 

If you’d also like to show the form to certain users, you’ll need to have the embed in a class/id container that is only showing for those users belonging to a group and not others, which would require Javascript.

Hi @Loki1999 Happy Tuesday! How are your respondents that have their information stored in your Appcues account accessing the embedded form? Are they being redirected there from an email?

Hey @Liz!

Thanks for the reply!


So, I’m using Appcues to create an onsite survey where the Typeform is embedded using a custom HTML. So selected clients when logging in to my website, they’ll see the onsite survey. Appcues is integrated with my website and thereby will have all my client's info like their names and emails. I want to pass this info as hidden values to the embedded Typeform and then use these hidden values in my survey.
