-
Create a form in Webflow: Begin by creating a form in Webflow where you want to pass the URL parameter value.

URLSearchParams
API. -
Next, select the hidden form field using its CSS selectors and set its value to the retrieved URL parameter value.
Here's an example code that can be placed inside a
<script>
tag within the Custom Code element:```javascript

Replace
'parameterName'
with the name of the URL parameter you want to extract, and'hiddenFieldSelector'
with the CSS selector of your hidden form field.
