How can I get parameters from url and how to send API request and waiting for data

@mathio or @picsoung might be able to help with this one!

I have a similar request. The idea is to have a TypeForm within a Landing Page. We would ask the user to confirm certain values such as name, email, etc.  It would also ask the user for their desired tenant name (Campus in our case). The Campus has to be a unique string used as part of the domain (specifically the subdomain), for example https://acme.example.com, where “acme” would represent their Campus name.

However these Campus names must be unique. So we would like to query our API to assert whether or not the subdomain is available before building the redirect URL with hidden fields or using the Recall option available with the Pro plan.

We were planning on using one TypeForm to build the request to register the user and another TyoeForm to then register the users Campus, etc. We’ve seen the docs on how to to call the second TypeForm with values entered in the first TyoeForm but don’t see a way to request values from an external URL before passing them on to a second TyoeForm.

The second TypeForm, once completed, would redirect the user to this unique URL with their custom sub-domain and query parameters to then request an action from our backend API such as building a course within the tenant. 

Is this possible?

Hello @jgwerner 

what I would suggest in your case is that you build your own functionality to confirm if the campus name is unique and still available.

I built this example where I lookup some information from Google Sheet based on responses in first typeform and then feed the values to second typeform via hidden fields:

You will need to build a custom API endpoint, like this one to retrieve the data from your own database.

Hope this helps.
