The Form auto-complete option
The auto-complete feature automatically fills in all or part of a form’s fields based on information that is already known. It simplifies and speeds up data entry while reducing errors and improving the user experience.
On Kimple, when configuring your form, you can enable the “Form Auto-Complete” option. This feature allows you to choose from several auto-complete methods to automatically pre-fill the participant’s information.
2. Different data sources
Several data sources can be used to complete a form. Depending on your needs, you can select one of the following sources :
SDK / URL: This method allows you to send information to the form via parameters added in the SDK or directly in the game’s URL. The data provided as variables is automatically used to pre-fill the form fields.
Example : https://kimple.co/contest/yZOgtbE?email=test@test.fr&firstname=Test&extend_kZq42b=magasin
❔You can find the list of fields supported by autocomplete in the following article : https://support.kimpleapp.com/en/articles/10531347-how-to-design-your-form
Operation: This option allows you to reuse the data entered by a participant during the first operation. In a workflow consisting of several linked operations, the information from the first form is automatically carried over to the forms for subsequent operations when this option is enabled.
OAuth: This method allows participants to log in through a third-party identity provider (e.g., Google, Facebook). For more information on other available services, please contact the support team. The information made available depends on the services used to automatically pre-fill the form, for example, Google allows you to retrieve the following data; last name, first name, email, etc.. subject to the participant’s consent when they log in to their account.
❔You can read the following article to learn how to set up OAuth.
Identification of the participant: When participating for the first time, the participant fills out the form. For subsequent participations, Kimple recognizes the participant and automatically pre-fills the information already on file, thereby eliminating the need to re-enter it. This feature works only if cookies are not deleted and the device and browser remain the same as during the first participation.
Callback: This method allows you to query an external system when the form is displayed. The data retrieved through this callback is then used to auto-fill the form fields with the most up-to-date information. Custom development is required to set up a callback, please feel free to contact the sales team for more information.
3. The Different Methods
Once you have determined the source of the data, you can choose between two methods:
Form autocomplete: The form fields are automatically pre-filled with available data. The form remains visible, and the participant can review or edit the information before submitting it.
Auto-complete and automatic submission: The fields are automatically pre-filled, and then the form is submitted automatically. In this case, the form is not displayed to the participant, who is redirected directly to the next step in the process.
💡 Best Practice : Before publishing your operation, test the autocomplete feature with different participant profiles to verify that the data is correctly retrieved, pre-filled, and updated according to the selected method.
