We desire to send to a company’s primary contact a link for a form that has their company information ready to confirm or update. I created the form, but how do I configure a URL that populates the form for them? ---

Hi [@PMartin\_CMB](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/734936), I explained how to do this here: [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/pre-filled-forms/m-p/815417/highlight/true#M3835](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/pre-filled-forms/m-p/815417/highlight/true#M3835) In your case, if you’re using company fields, it would have to change contact to company, e.g. {{ company.propertyname }} Best regards! ---

Thanks for the direction. We will move it to our Wordpress site, but testing the landing page with the form’s shared link isn’t populating. Currently, my shared link looks like [https://share.hsforms.com/zzzzzz??hs\_object\_id=7777777777777777](https://share.hsforms.com/zzzzzz??hs_object_id=7777777777777777) (substitute Z and 7 with real data). Should I not expect this to work? ---

[@PMartin\_CMB](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/734936) an object ID can’t be updated through a form. If you can’t add it as a form field in the regular form editor, you can’t populate it with parameters. ---

Thank you… I think I misunderstood so I want to confirm: The form will be prepopulated with data from the url querystring--not from data direct from HubSpot. We have a rather long form since we want the Company to update their address, URL and other data. Wouldn’t a querystring that long be likely to ‘break’ in an email message? Am I missing a simple approach? ---

[@PMartin\_CMB](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/734936) correct, a long link might break - and there isn’t a simple fix for this. Forms are meant to capture data, not to act as a quasi log in area where someone can update their information. As far as I know, it’s either this or a fully custom developed solution; your own application that looks up information in HubSpot and posts updates as provided by contacts, ideally behind a log-in.
