**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 3.0.1  
My PHP version is: 7.3.22

**Your problem**  
My problem is:

Trying to create a landing page with an embedded form which is referenced in an email is goind to send out for contact data update.

1. created the form (Autofill enabled for fields)
2. embedded to a landing page
3. created a template email where URL button has a link: {pagelink=2}&email={contactfield=email|true}
4. sending test email

And in email if I hover the mouse on the button I don’t have the long CT value, just the following:

[http://10.65.12.32:8090/landing\*\*&email=[Email]\*\*](http://10.65.12.32:8090/landing **&email=%5BEmail%5D** )

These errors are showing in the log: no traces in log

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

- tried different formats of button URL
- tried [this solution](https://forum.mautic.org/t/how-to-pre-populate-a-form-with-an-email-address-for-idiots-like-me/10200%3E)
- tried shawncarr’s solution from [https://gist.github.com/shawncarr/56c2484cb50bc923107f210310366ad0](https://gist.github.com/shawncarr/56c2484cb50bc923107f210310366ad0)

but I still not able to generate the proper passing URL into a form when sending email.

What am I missing? Maybe some basic step missed only…

thanks in advance,  
Peter
