How to prefill attributes automatically

I have two contact attributes, that I need to prefill automatically with internal data when a contact is created. I tried setting up a category with just one option, hoping it would per default select that one option, but unfortunately the attribute remains blank. Is there any way to set this up?

Hi Christine, how do you create your contacts: manually? Through a CSV import? Through an API call?

Hi, the contacts are created via sign-up form.

Ok I see.
What you can do is creating an automation:

  • as soon as the contact submits the form
  • you give a value to this contact attribute

=> would that work for you?
