Filtering Connect Form

 

URL Filters can be applied when someone accesses the NeedConnect Form. This can be used to direct users to a specific portion of the form and/or hide one portion. 

The NeedConnect form base URL can be appended with specific code to apply desired filters. Pre-filtering the URL is a convenient way to limit the form when directed to a specific target audience. 

Note: In the following examples a church has predefined base URL: https://{your church domain}/needconnectMake sure you're using the correct base URL for your church.
You can add two different URL parameters: 
  1. Mode= [helpme] or [signup]
  2. Showmode= [True] or [False]
