Advanced Features¶

Unlock the full potential of Advanced Forms with these powerful capabilities.

Query Parameter Prefilling¶

You can automatically pre-fill form fields by passing data in the URL. This is perfect for email campaigns or linking from other systems.

How it Works¶

1. Match Keys: The URL query parameter key must match the Field Key defined in your form element.
2. Case Sensitive: ?FirstName=John will match a field with Key FirstName, but not firstname.
3. Empty Fields Only: The system only populates fields that are currently empty. It will not overwrite existing user data.

Example¶

URL: https://rock.church/forms/5?CampaignCode=SUMMER2024&Source=Email

• Field 1 (Key: CampaignCode): Populates with "SUMMER2024".
• Field 2 (Key: Source): Populates with "Email".

Form Pack Options¶

This also works for Form Pack Options. If a URL parameter matches an Option Key, that option is pre-selected, allowing you to deep-link users into specific paths of a multi-form workflow.

Lava Merge Fields¶

Lava is available in Instructions, Confirmations, and Descriptions.

Common Merge Fields¶

Runtime Defaults¶

You can use Lava to calculate Default Values for fields. 1. Set the Field's Default Value Source to "Lava". 2. Enter Lava in the Default Value box:

{% if PageParameter.promo %}{{ PageParameter.promo }}{% else %}Standard{% endif %}

Voice Entry (Experimental)¶

The Form Pack Entry Editor block includes an experimental Voice Input feature powered by OpenAI.

• Functionality: A microphone icon appears next to supported fields. Users tap it, speak their answer, and the AI transcribes it into the text box.
• Configuration: Requires an OpenAI API key configured in Rock.
• Use Case: Mobile users filling out long text fields (e.g., "Tell us your testimony").

Progress Tracking¶

For Form Packs, a progress indicator is automatically displayed. * Visuals: Shows a step-by-step list of forms. * Status Icons: Checks for completed forms, circles for active forms. * Calculation: (Completed Forms / Total Visible Forms) * 100.

Export and Import¶

Easily move forms between Stage and Production environments.

Share Forms Block¶

• Export: Select a Form Type -> Download .json file.
• Import: Upload .json file -> Creates new Form Type.
• Dependencies: The importer attempts to match Defined Types and other dependencies by GUID. If a dependency is missing, it will alert you.

Share Form Packs Block¶

• Works identically to Share Forms but handles the entire structure: The Pack, its Options, and all child Form Types are bundled into a single JSON file.
