How common is email pre-population (pre-fill) for SOI Sweepstake offers?

[parker24]

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of optimizing my lead gen funnel and have a question for the community about a specific feature.

I'm currently capturing user emails on my own landing page before sending them to the affiliate offer. To reduce friction, my ideal user flow is to pass that email to the offer page via a URL parameter and have it pre-fill the submission form, creating a seamless "one-click" experience for the user.

My question is: How common is this functionality for SOI sweepstake offers? Is this a standard feature that most modern networks and advertisers support, or is it a rare perk that I'll have to hunt for?

I feel like this feature is imperative for maximizing conversions, but I want to make sure I'm not trying to build my entire strategy around something that's difficult to find.

Any insight or experience with this would be a huge help. Thanks!

I think it's pretty obvious that you're trying to do: Capture the viewer's email yourself and then pass it on as a URL parameter.
I don't think you'll be able find any support doing that for a whole lot of reasons.

That could be done on your own server. That's very technically feasible.
Also it takes a little bit of trickery and some knowledge of coding—can't do it yourself—find somebody that can.

Thanks for the reply, you've raised a really important point about advertiser concerns.

Just to clarify, the goal isn't to auto-submit the form for the user. It's simply to pre-populate the email field on the offer page to reduce friction.

The user still has to see the offer and perform the final, conscious action of clicking the submit button themselves.
It's more of a UX/CRO strategy to create a smoother handoff from a pre-lander, rather than any kind of trickery to bypass user consent. Appreciate you sharing your perspective on it!
