Excluding Fields
| When collecting form data, there can be reasons to exclude a field from the submission to SharpSpring. The most common reasons for this are: |
Note: SharpSpring offers Professional Services to assist with custom coding.
|
- The field includes sensitive data. The field includes data, such as passwords or social security numbers, that should not be transmitted over the connection to SharpSpring.
- Fields that cause form submissions to fail. Some third-party providers add additional fields that do not need to be collected by SharpSpring, but have names or data that cause issues due to length or special characters.
To edit your native form embed code to exclude passing specific fields, do the following:
- In SharpSpring's top toolbar, click
Content > Forms. - Create or open a native form.
- Copy the form's embed code.
- In a text editor, add the
var hidden = [];code snippet directly below thevar __ss_noform = __ss_noform || [];code snippet. - Underneath the
var hidden = [];code snippet, add thehidden.push("field_name_1");code snippet. - Replace
field_name_1with the name attribute of the field to be excluded. - Repeat as necessary for each field that will be excluded.
- Add the code snippet
__ss_noform.push(['exclude', hidden]);directly below the__ss_noform.push(['endpoint', 'xXxXxXxX-xXxX-xXxX-xXxX-xXxXxXxXxXxX']);code snippet. - Place the edited native form script before the closing
<form>tag or closing<body>tag on the page where the native form lives. - Submit the form.
- Map the fields in SharpSpring.
Excluded fields will not appear on the field mappings page for your form.
