Auto form filling

​

🔄 How It Works

• Trakg stores the user’s previously typed form data (e.g., name, email, phone) in the browser’s localStorage.
• When the same user visits another page with a different form, matching fields (by name attribute) are auto-filled with that saved data.
• If a user updates any value in a new form, that change is immediately synced across all forms where the data appears.
• Data is stored locally on the user’s browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and is never sent elsewhere unless the user submits the form.

​

⏳ Data Expiry

• The stored data remains valid for up to 24 hours.
• After 24 hours of inactivity, the data is automatically cleared.
• If the user clears their browser storage or uses incognito/private mode, the autofill may not persist.

​

🛡 Privacy & Security

• Only non-sensitive fields (like name, email, phone, company) are eligible for autofill.
• Fields like passwords, financial info, personal IDs, or fields explicitly marked with filters are never stored or autofilled.
• All storage and matching happens locally in the browser via localStorage.

​

✅ Benefits for Businesses

• Increase conversions by reducing the effort for returning users to fill forms again.
• Seamless multi-step or multi-page form experiences.
• Users can recover and complete forms they started earlier.

​

🚀 Example Use Cases

• A user fills a form on your homepage, then navigates to a pricing/contact page — the second form is already filled.
• Multi-step lead journeys where forms are split across pages (common in insurance, SaaS, real estate, etc.).

​

💡 Notes

• This feature is optional and can be toggled from your Trakg dashboard.
• Developers can opt out of auto-filling specific forms or fields using data-trakg-nofill attributes.
