Use them to preserve the page or campaign behind a seller or buyer question. Test the saved submission before relying on those labels. [Tally hidden-field guide, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). The field map and checks below are proposed website requirements. They do not establish marketing consent, verified identity, or a completed integration. ## What problem should hidden source fields solve? They should preserve useful context that the visitor should not have to type again. Start with the page containing the inquiry and the campaign label you need to explain it. Keep the visitor’s actual question visible and editable. ## How does Tally describe a hidden field? Tally describes a field populated through URL parameters that is invisible to the person completing the form. It documents source tracking and UTM values as uses. [Hidden-field definition, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). ## Where does the builder create the field? Tally’s editor uses `/hidden` to insert a Hidden field block. Ask the builder to use approved field names and retain the field map with the form. [Tally field creation, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). ## Does Tally charge separately for hidden fields? Tally describes hidden fields as a free feature. Confirm the rest of the proposed integration separately, including any website or receiving-system costs. [Tally feature availability, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). ## Which field names should the real estate business approve? Approve names for source page and campaign context before implementation. A proposed map can include `originPage`, `utm_source`, `utm_medium`, and `utm_campaign`. These are field choices for review, not proof that the current form captures them. ## How should a direct form link carry parameters? Tally documents adding the initial parameter with `?` and separating further parameters with `&`. Have the provider build links from the actual published form URL. Keep the final link in the test record. [Tally parameter syntax, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). ## Where should the captured values appear? Tally says hidden-field values appear in its Submissions tab after the form is submitted. Require a matching saved record for each approved source test. [Tally results location, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/hidden-fields). ## Can an embedded form receive the surrounding page’s parameters? Tally documents forwarding the website page and query parameters to its embedded form. Corresponding hidden fields are needed to save them. Confirm the installed embedding method before relying on forwarding. [Tally embed guide, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/embed-your-form). ## Which standard embed method matters for forwarding? Tally says standard embeds receive this forwarding through its HTML snippet or JavaScript. Its guide says forwarding is enabled by default for popups and full-page embeds. Ask the developer to identify the method installed. [Embed forwarding conditions, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/embed-your-form). ## What does originPage represent in Tally’s example? The embed guide demonstrates `originPage` storing the website page path. Use that documented name when the implementation relies on this behavior. Test the actual path rather than assuming it is a complete URL. [Source-page example, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/embed-your-form). ## Should the source page identify a property? Use an approved public property reference when it helps answer the inquiry. Keep it separate from the visitor’s written question. Ask the receiving person whether the reference is understandable without opening an administration account. ## Can hidden fields carry private contact details safely? Keep private contact details out of source links as a proposed design requirement. Ask the developer to review which query values reach the form. Use the visible contact fields for the information needed to reply. ## Are hidden source values trusted instructions? Treat them as descriptive input. Require the developer to review their permitted use before connecting them to assignment, eligibility, or other business decisions. A campaign label should not authorize a business action. ## What should happen when a parameter is absent? Define the intended blank or fallback result in the field map. Require a test from an ordinary untagged page. Keep missing attribution separate from whether the seller or buyer inquiry was received. ## What should happen when a parameter is unexpected? Agree how the receiving system handles an unfamiliar value before implementation. Request a controlled test using an approved test label. Record whether the submission remains readable and whether any mapping correction is needed. ## How should a seller-page inquiry be checked? Open the intended seller page with its approved source labels. Submit a clearly marked test using controlled reply details. Compare the saved page value and question with the expected record. ## How should a buyer-page inquiry be checked? Repeat the check from the intended buyer page. Ask the recipient to confirm both the buyer question and source context. Do not infer correct buyer mapping from a successful seller-page test. ## Does a saved Tally result prove the recipient received it? Require separate receipt evidence. Compare the saved submission with the message or record at the agreed destination. Keep the integration check open if source fields are missing or the recipient cannot identify the question. ## Should campaign attribution equal newsletter permission? Keep those decisions separate in the proposed form. Ask the responsible reviewer to approve any subscription choice and permission record. Source labels describe the request’s context and should not substitute for an explicit choice. ## What should change when the form or embed is updated? Review the affected source mapping and repeat its tests. Tally says form-content changes update embeds, while changed embed styles require replacing the code. Check the installed form after the provider saves the change. [Tally update behavior, checked 2026.10.22](https://tally.so/help/embed-your-form). ## What belongs in the acceptance record? Retain the tested page, approved parameter values, embedding method, saved submission, and matching destination receipt. Record expected and observed values separately. Leave unexplained differences marked UNRESOLVED. ## What should go into the implementation brief? Provide the form reference, source-field map, destination, missing-value behavior, and approved tests. Use the [website work request](/work) to describe the context you need preserved. Define conditional question branches as a separate requirement.
