I am new to Hubspot and am trying to pass form fields onsubmit from an embedded form in Wordpress to a second form in wordpress, so I will have essentially a two step for (progressive). My research shows me I can do this in Hubspot landing pages but not in Wordpress due to the delay in cookie new contacts. Has anyone done something similar, or can recommend a workaround to this?

Welcome, [@myresman](https://community.hubspot.com/u/myresman).

To clarify, do you have two HubSpot forms embedded on your WordPress pages? Are you trying to pass the values from the first form to the second form via `utm` query parameters?

Could you also describe the research you’ve conducted in more detail? What do you mean by “but not in WordPress due to the delay in cookie new contacts”?

I am trying to have the form submission data auto populate on a second form (so like progressive profiling), however when chatting with Hubspot support, they informed me that new form submissions would have a delay so we would not be able to use this because Hubspot would not know who the contact was due to the delay.

Thanks for clarifying, [@myresman](https://community.hubspot.com/u/myresman).

While support was correct that smart content will _not_ update a form with a contact’s information upon a form redirect (per the _Can I use smart content on a thank you page?_ section of [this page](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/cos-general/smart-content-faq)), however there are other ways to support a progressive profiling or two-part form.

One way is to pass values with query parameters. You could use JavaScript (e.g. [this method](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/486896/adding-a-parameter-to-the-url-with-javascript) or [this method](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/append)) to populate the second page’s query parameters with values from the first page’s form. The query parameter must match the _internal name_ (not label) of the form field you wish to populate. [This related post](https://integrate.hubspot.com/t/couldnt-find-target-container-hbspt-form-xxx/11144/6) contains an example.

Would you mind sharing the support ticket number? I’d like to make sure I close the loop for support.
