Autofill forms

What is an autofill form?

Autofill forms are a browser feature that automatically populates form fields based on information you’ve previously entered on websites. This information can include:

• Personal details: Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses.
• Payment information: Credit card numbers (with security measures), billing addresses.
• Login credentials: Usernames and passwords (though for security reasons, these are usually not fully displayed).

How does autofill work?

When you visit a website with a form, your browser checks its internal database for any matching information. If a match is found, it pre-fills the corresponding fields in the form. This can significantly speed up form completion and reduce typos.

Benefits of autofill forms

• Saves Time: No need to re-enter information you’ve already provided online.
• Reduces Errors: Minimizes typos and ensures consistency in frequently used information.
• Improved User Experience: Streamlines form filling, making it more convenient for users.

Beyond browser autofill: FormAssembly’s Salesforce prefill

While browser autofill offers convenience, FormAssembly’s Salesforce prefill takes it a step further. It integrates with your Salesforce CRM to dynamically populate forms with relevant data from existing records.

Example: Your website has a customer service form. With Salesforce prefill, when a customer starts filling out the form, their contact information like name, email address, and even past purchase history (if stored in Salesforce) can be automatically populated. This saves the customer time, improves data accuracy, and allows you to personalize the service

With the Salesforce prefill feature by FormAssembly you get streamlined form completion, improved data accuracy, and faster workflows by leveraging existing Salesforce data directly in web forms.
