How to prepopulate a 'first_name' field from a URL?

Technical Q&A

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out how I can prepopulate an input field from a URL. Specifically I am using the First Name field from the customer module - I believe it’s called ‘contact[first_name]’. My site is syrupandsap.com

Based on my initial research I had thought that the following would work:

https://syrupandsap.com/?contact[first_name]=input

However this doesn’t seem to work. Am I missing anything obvious?

Thanks!

Matt
