Looks like wufood substitutes URL encoding for special characters like * and |, so I don’t think you can just paste the merge tags directly in. But you can set up the URL with a reminder to substitute the merge tags when you write your message in MailChimp. i.e. “Field13=FNAMEGOESHERE&Field14=LNAMEGOESHERE” becomes “Field13=|FNAME|&Field14=|LNAME|” in MailChimp.

@Robert I’m interested to see the follow-up blog post Chris mentioned here in the comments, since I bet he’s got some cool trick up his sleeve. It seems like this would be fairly simple to do by entering in the appropriate tags (http://bit.ly/aF5QSW) from the list you’re using in your MailChimp campaign into wufood to create a link which will change based on the recipient. For example, entering |FNAME| and |LNAME| into the first and last name fields (respectively) should generate a link which auto-populates the recipient’s name when they click on the link. Haven’t had a chance to test, but it seems like this would work based on MailChimp’s documentation.

So if we sent out a thousand emails, it would create a dynamic link in each email to prefill a wufoo form with names, addresses, etc., from our lists in Mailchimp.

Stay tuned for that very soon!

Any chance it could be integrated with something like Mailchimp? It would be terrific if we could send out a bunch of emails with links that, if clicked, would be prefilled with names, addresses, etc., from Mailchimp.
