If I have a link in email body and the link opens a Laserfiche Form, is it possible to extract Email Subject and From fields and populate the form automatically please? Thanks.

If I understand what you are trying to do is that you would retrieve the "Sender Address" + "Email Subject" and parse these information into Laserfiche forms to start the event.

You can use the Laserfiche Connector to retrieve those metadata and fill in Laserfiche Forms Metadata.
 

Hope this help you!

Thanks. Is it possible to do without connector?

It is possible as long as you reference the field in your query string embedded in your link. Also, only works with single line text boxes, so no text boxes in tables or drop downs. For Example: if your variable is named "empnopto", then your url would be https://yourformsserverurl/Forms/form/new/yourbpid?emponpto=929039

Can you explain your use case a little bit more? It sounds like if you are sending the email with the forms link, you must have the email address, subject and other email details already in your system. It would probably be easier to fill the form using lookups. 

Is this link to a generic starting form or to a specific approval form? 

How are the emails with the form link being generated?

Thanks. There is a link to a Form in the email. The link is a generic link to a public form. When the user clicks on the link in the email, can data be passed from the email to the form like subject, etc...?

 

Thanks
