Hidden field
A Hidden field is sent with every message and never shown, such as a campaign name or where the visitor came from.

Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Value | What it sends. It goes into mails and entries like any field. |
| Fill from | Takes the value from the visit instead: a URL parameter, a shortcode attribute, the page or the logged-in user. See Fields. |
| Name to read | The parameter, attribute or custom field to read. Empty: the field’s name. |
A Hidden field has no style, classes, ID or attributes, since nothing is shown.
In the mail
[source] prints the value.
Example
Name the field utm_source and set Fill from to URL parameter. A visitor who comes from ?utm_source=newsletter sends newsletter with the message.
Visitors can change what a Hidden field sends, so never use one for prices or anything you trust. The Stripe and PayPal fields read a Hidden field’s saved value, not the sent one.
