Pre-populate fields in Microsoft Forms via URL parameter?
- Sending context-aware survey invitations and capturing the response with a particular context is a feature of Forms Pro, which can be combined with Flow.
You will find detailed walkthrough articles in Megan Walker blog covering the different steps involved. Here is one of her posts:

Hope Microsoft is reading us :-D
In form settings you can set it to record name, based on their user account, then as Pieter Veenstra mentions you could easily tie up their response with some reference data you have about that individual.
Hi Steven Collier,
Thanks for taking time to answer.
My need is to allow persons who don't belong to my organisation to be identified.
For example, I create a new form and I add a "UserID" field that reference an ID somewhere else in my organization (CRM, registration form, whatever...).
I send a SMS campaign with a link inside it, like the following one :
https://[my-form-url]?UserID=27
Where UserID reference the field name.
When the person click on this link, the GET parameter is automagically injected into the form, right into the UserID field.
The main objective is to identify the user without asking them to enter manually their ID (mitigating risk of typos, etc...).I hope you see more precisly my needs.
Kind regards,
- Hi,
I think this is pretty dangerous. Everyone receiving an invitation to fill the form and understanding how the URL is encoded would know how to fill the form for another User ID, just by changing the ID.
