Respondent’s country

The respondent’s country field automatically derives the country from the IP address of the person filling in your form. It will appear in the submissions data to give you better insights in your results, and you can use it to personalize your respondent’s form experience. The field itself is not visible to the respondent and it doesn’t store or track any personal information.

Is there a country block I can pre-fill automatically?
Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist in Tally today. But this will be possible with the address input field, which is on our roadmap! After we finish the first version of the Tally API, our current timeline estimate is to deliver this feature early 2025.
