Pre-populate ticket submission form field via query string (Help Center)
It would be great to build in the ability to pre-populate fields in the new Help Center ticket submission form, without having to use Javascript. I don't think this is currently supported.
(like this thread: https://support.zendesk.com/entries/87397-pre-populate-the-new-ticket-form- but without JS)
EG: we could link to...
https://domain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?request_subject=Hello
https://domain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=5481&request_subject=Hello
or
https://domain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=5481&request_custom_fields_22780728=12345
And the appropriate fields would be prepopulated with the appropriate value from the query string.
Thanks

Adding my vote for ZenDesk to support this feature without the use of a paid-for app.
-
Another vote to have Zendesk natively support this feature.
-
+1 here. Seven years is making Salesforce look nimble by comparison.
-
I have given up on Zendesk adding any useful new features, like this one.
If it wasnt for the fact they have the (in my opinion) best gui for IT helpdesk we would have left them for good.
-
Adding my vote too
-
Another vote from me. 7 years for basic functionality contained in all other ticketing support platforms. Considering the premium Zendesk charge it's pretty poor no?
Seems every thread I read on Zendesk support forms are full of customers asking for things, community managers saying they're chasing product, and then nothing else happening.
-
This request is 7 years old, we still need this. Why aren't Zendesk listening?
-
They are earning too much money on a fairly good system, and got lazy and happy?
-
Can we get a Zendesk 2020 official response on this?
-
What a time saver for us this would be - currently about 6 or 7 clicks to achieve this. Multiply that by 100+ customers a day and that's a LOT OF CLICKING!!!

+1

LOL - just read my comment on this topic, adding my support for this (very basic functionality) enhancement from 3 years ago!

Hi,
Here is my Javascript code I wrote and inserted on the page "new_request_page.hbs" to prefill the field "Subject", with the GET parameter "request_subject" :
https://zendesk.com/hc/fr/requests/new?ticket_form_id=353453542332&request_subject=Subject
<script>
// Get all parameters
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
}// Prefill form
function prefill_form()
{
document.getElementById("request_subject").value = decodeURI($.urlParam('request_subject'));
}window.onload = prefill_form;
</script> -
Gaspard This works great, I am however trying to pre-select a value from a drop down. I tried hacking your code a bit but I don't have the knowledge or skill.
Can you make this work for this situation?
Thanks
Dave

Hey,
The code below works for every field with the bold part replaced with the ID of the dropdown and the TAG of the field option
https://demo.premiumplus.io/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000534040&request_custom_fields_360007388180=some_text
$(document).ready(function() {
/* Start QR */
var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1),
sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),
sParameterName,
i;
for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {
sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
if (sParameterName[1] == "false"){$("#" + sParameterName[0]).prop("checked",false);}
else if (sParameterName[1] == "true"){$("#" + sParameterName[0]).prop("checked",true);}
else {$("#" + sParameterName[0]).val(decodeURIComponent(sParameterName[1]).replace(/\)\(/g, "<br/>"))};
}
};
getUrlParameter("");
/* End QR */
}); -
Hi - What are the options for having this supported inherently by Zendesk?
