In FlowForma you have the ability to embed a form into an internet page. This is an example of a link that will launch a new form https://trial.flowforma.com/sites/test/lists/forms/newform.aspx?FlowId=3 The link structure is composed of
  • The URL for the Forms list on the site
  • A reference to the newform.aspx page
  • A parameter for the ID of the flow you want to use for the form
The ID of the flow you want to use can be found on the flows list by modifying the view and showing the “ID” column.

​
Control how the form launches

You can use additional parameters in the URL to control how the form launches. &IsDlg=1 launches the form in a Dialog. &CloseOnSubmit=1 causes the form to close when the user presses the submit button. &src=http://www.flowforma.com causes the form to return to http://www.flowforma.com when you close the form. This can also be used to direct the form to return to an intranet page by submitting the intranet URL in place of www.flowforma.com.

​
Opening existing forms

You can also open existing forms using URLs. To do this you must know the ID of the form you want to open. You can find this on the forms list. Then in place of newform.aspx you need to use dispform.aspx?id=<formID>. e.g. dispform.aspx?id=24 opens form 24. Passing values from the URL into the form You can read query parameters from the URL into the form that you open using the Set Question Value business rule using a “Loaded Event”. The “Loaded Event” causes the business rule to fire as the form is render on the screen, before any other activity, this will allow you to populate questions with the query parameter values. You can then put questions changed rules on those questions too. For example, show and hide steps prior to the user entering any data.
