New functionality in forms from 5.3

After the launch of 5.3, there will be some new functionality coming to the forms in Otto (Form Builder 2.0).

You can now submit a form to a person without having a email input in your forms, you just have to link to the form with one of three special tags in the URL and also append the email address.

You will now be able to link in to a form with a email address using the orf_campaignorf_email or otto_email in the URL, so you will link to the form link this from a Newsletter or Sequence:

ottodomain.com/f/example-form?otto_email=%otto_email%

If you link to a form this way, you don’t have to have a email input in your form. The form will automatically fetch the email from the URL and apply it to your form if there is no input.

The %otto_email% tag will be replaced by otto by the persons Otto email address.
As another example, you can of course send a regular email and link to the form like this:

ottodomain.com/f/example-form?otto_email=example-email@email.com

This will apply the exact same logic.

NoteIf a email input exists in your form, the form will fetch the email from the URL and insert it into your email input.
