## Description

  I need help

Submit an issue to the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/zaus/forms-3rdparty-dynamicfields/issues)
in addition to / instead of the WP Support Forums.

  How do I add / configure a service?

See “base plugin” [Forms: 3rdparty Integration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forms-3rdparty-integration/).

Expand the box “Dynamic Placeholder Examples” below the ‘save’ button for allowed
dynamic fields.

Additionally, you’ll need to check the ‘Is Value?’ column.

  How do I add GET parameters to my service post?

Use the placeholder `##GET:{urlparam}##` as the static value, which will attach 
the value `XYZ` from the url in `?urlparam=XYZ`.

  How do I add COOKIE parameters to my service post?

Use the placeholder `##COOKIE:{hamburgler}##` as the static value, which will attach
the value `XYZ` from the cookie named `hamburgler`.

  What else can I attach?

These are also listed within the plugin settings under the “[?] Dynamic Placeholder
Examples” metabox — double click each option for automatic entry. Live “example 
previews” are also shown for each within the metabox.
