Populate Documents Quickly Using Pre-Filled Text Fields
How to instantly pre-fill batches of documents with Pre-Filled Text Fields
Save time and minimize data entry errors when sending bulk signature invites by automatically importing data from a CSV file into a template’s fillable fields. You can also pre-populate fields by adding specific parameters to an invite link.
Add Pre-Filled Text Fields to a template
Create a template and open it in the editor. In the upper toolbar, select Pre-Filled Text Fields and place them anywhere in the document.

Create a CSV file
Prepare a CSV file from which to export data. Ensure it contains a column with your signers’ email addresses and another column with the information you want to export (e.g., “Employee Name”).

Label Pre-Filled Text Fields correctly
Enter a field label in the right-hand sidebar, which appears once you select any Pre-Filled Text Field. Ensure that your label matches the corresponding column name in your CSV file. Then, save and close your template.

Prepare a bulk signature invite
Return to the Templates folder, click More next to your template, and select Bulk Invite from the dropdown.

Upload your CSV
In the Bulk Invite popup, upload your CSV file and map columns to the respective Pre-Filled Text Fields, which are recognizable by their labels. When finished, click Done.

Send documents for signature
airSlate SignNow will extract data from your CSV and match it with the Pre-Filled Text Fields in your template. Once you click Send Invites, your signatories will receive pre-populated copies of the document.

Use Pre-Filled Text Fields when sharing invite links
To auto-fill documents via an invite link, you need to modify the URL by including specific pre-fill values. Start by creating a template and adding Pre-Filled Text Fields, then generate an invite link.

Get your invite link
Copy the link from the popup and paste it into any text editor or your internet browser’s URL bar.

Embed pre-fill values in an invite link
Edit the invite’s URL using the logic described below:
- Insert a question mark (?) at the end of the URL to enter additional parameters: https://signnow.com/s/pDe06pMX?
- Type a Pre-Filled Field’s name and the equals sign (=) followed by the data you’d like to fill: Title=CEO
- To add a space, insert (%20): John%20Smith
- Separate each value with the ampersand symbol (&): Name=John%20Smith&Title=CEO

Once all is set, share the link with the signatory. The values in the URL will automatically populate the corresponding Pre-Filled Text Fields.
