Recall Information
If your typeform has Hidden Fields enabled, you can use Recall Information in your text to include information from them. So if you already know a respondent’s name, you can add it here. Type "@" to bring up a list of your Hidden Fields to choose from, and include in your text.

How to skip the Welcome Screen.
If you’re sharing your typeform in an email campaign or promotional article, you may want people to skip the Welcome Screen. You can do this while keeping the Welcome Screen live for other respondents.
To do this, just add the following string to the end of the typeform’s URL and… voilà! The Welcome Screen will be skipped.
?typeform-welcome=0
Test it using this typeform:
If you are using Hidden Fields in your typeform, append the following string instead:
&typeform-welcome=0
Use this annotated URL in your email, or shared on social media etc, wherever you want people to jump past the Welcome Screen.
