Populating both email and username from URL parameters?

[j127]

There’s a way to prepopulate the email address by linking to forum.example.com/signup?email=alice@example.com.

Is there a parameter to also pre-populate the username field? I want to prepopulate it with a random username to reduce sign-up friction. Users will still be able to change it before submitting if they want.

If there isn’t a built-in way, I’ll write a plugin.

Populating email field on login page

Hello, How can I send a login link to my users and make sure the email field is already populated ? Something like www.my-discourse-site.com/login?email=person@gmail.com So that this user gets his email (person@gmail.com) already filled in the login page when they click Thanks

Thanks, I don’t think that other topic is correct, because the feature exists for emails.

If you open this URL in an incognito window, it will fill the email but not the username:

• https://meta.discourse.org/signup?email=user@example.com&username=nova_tsunami_fox_1234
