1. Prefill Through the URL
There’s more than one way to prefill FormAssembly forms. You could use the Salesforce Prefill Connector, but it’s also possible to add parameters to a form URL to have it prefill certain information. This article shows you how to set up this functionality to have your form prefill hidden fields with source information, menu options, respondent email addresses, and more.

The FormAssembly Salesforce Connector is by far one of our most popular integrations, but did you know you can also access your FormAssembly account within Salesforce with SSO? This knowledge article walks you through how to set up this connection for your own account.
3. File Uploads and Salesforce Attachments
FormAssembly lets you upload files to Salesforce that are as large as 25MB for file attachments and up to 2GB for feed attachments. FormAssembly’s actual file size limit is larger, but when uploading to Salesforce there are different limits. We also support uploads to the Salesforce Lightning “Files” tab.
4. Smart Processing with Formulas
There’s more to FormAssembly than meets the eye. With formulas, you can dynamically customize things like email templates, thank you messages, display notifications, and connector functionality. In practice, this means you can automatically redirect users based on their form responses, customize autoresponders with respondent information, and more. Learn how with written instructions and videos in this article.
5. Edit Multiple Choice Fields and Autosuggest
FormAssembly offers several helpful field types that you can use in your forms. When you have a question that can have multiple different answers, that’s where our multiple-choice options come in, including radio buttons, drop-down menus, multi-select lists, and checkboxes. For even more user-friendly forms, we also offer an autosuggest option where you can upload a CSV of options to choose from. Enabling this feature will present users with a list of options that narrows down as they continue to type. Learn more about these options in our help docs.
6. Salesforce Prefill Connector
The Salesforce Prefill Connector lets you pull data from your Salesforce org and display it in a prefilled form to your form respondents.
