In @sam’s [example of an embedded Typeform](https://meta.discourse.org/t/onebox-preview-for-typeform-steals-focus/90948/48), the url for the Typeform is:

`https://basvanleeuwen1.typeform.com/to/NzdRpx?typeform-embed=embed-widget`

That’s great, but I would like to personalize my Typeforms using [hidden fields](https://www.typeform.com/help/what-are-hidden-fields/). If the Discourse username could be added to the url, then I could use it in the form. So when I visit, the url would be:

`https://basvanleeuwen1.typeform.com/to/NzdRpx?typeform-embed=embed-widget&username=markschmucker`

Is there a way to do that? Is it a candidate for a plugin?

Note you need a paid Typeform account for this to work.
