## Description

#### What It Does

This plugin does 1 thing and 1 simple thing only. If you pass info through the URL,
say `https://example.com/?firstname=John&lastname=Doe` it will fill fields associated
with `firstname` and `lastname` with `John` and `Doe` respectively.

#### How to use it

You have to know what the fields `name` or `id` value is. At the end of the URL 
type `?name_of_field=value&or_id_of_field=value`.

#### Compatibility

Compatible with all web-form builders, html 4 or 5, really this is so simple it 
works with everything.

#### Best Uses

This is extremely useful if you’re a CRM user. Such as Infusionsoft or MailChimp.

For example using merge fields in Infusionsoft to send people to personalized pages
through Email Links. If you’re an Infusionsoft user, pass info to a landing page
by using the following syntex in your link. `?inf_field_FirstName=~Contact.FirstName
~&inf_field_Email=~Contact.Email~`

## FAQ

  Does it do anything other than auto-populate fields?

No.

  Does it work with any forms?

Yes, as long as the form fields have a `name` or `id` and the URL identifier is 
the same as the `id` or `name`.
 If you don’t know how to find out what the `id`
or `name` is, then right-click on the field and click ‘inspect’. That will tell 
you.
