## Mautic 3.1.0

Well, I know this has been discussed, but it’s not working for me. I’m wondering if I’m missing something or that this just shouldn’t work at all.

I’m trying to pre-populate a form on Calendly through a link in an email.

So the process is: signup on my site -\> email the user with a link to Calendly -\> pre-populate Calendly form through the link clicked in the email.

I’m using : ?name={contactfield=firstname|true}&email={contactfield=email|true} …  
The form on Calendly populates, but not with the firstname … it populates with: {contactfield=firstname|true}.

So, it looks like Mautic did not populate the contact name into the coded link which I have put in the email.

I must be missing something, am I?
