Publishing & Sharing¶
Once your form is ready, publish it to start collecting responses.
Publishing a Form¶
- Open your form in the builder.
- Click Publish in the toolbar.
- Your form status changes from Draft to Active.
- A version snapshot is automatically created (see Version History).
Form Statuses¶
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Not yet published; only visible to you in the builder |
| Active | Live and accepting responses |
| Closed | No longer accepting responses (manually closed or limit reached) |
| Archived | Hidden from your forms list but still stored |
Sharing Your Form¶
Direct Link¶
Every published form gets a public URL:
The slug is auto-generated from your form title but can be customised in form settings. Copy the link and share it via email, messaging, or social media.
Embedding¶
Embed your form on any website using an iframe:
<iframe
src="https://yourdomain.com/f/your-form-slug?embed=true"
width="100%"
height="600"
frameborder="0"
></iframe>
The ?embed=true parameter:
- Removes page padding for a clean inline look
- Enables auto-resize — the iframe height adjusts to fit the form content
- Uses the PostMessage API to communicate height changes to the parent page
QR Code¶
Generate a QR code for your form link to share in print materials, presentations, or physical locations.
Prefilling Fields¶
Pre-populate form fields using URL parameters. This is useful for personalised links in email campaigns or CRM integrations.
By Field ID¶
By Label Slug¶
Use a slugified version of the field label, prefixed with underscore:
yourdomain.com/f/your-form-slug?_full_name=John+Doe&[email protected]
Example: If your form has fields labelled "Full Name" and "Email":
yourdomain.com/f/feedback?_full_name=Jane+Smith&[email protected]
Multiple fields can be prefilled by chaining parameters with &.
Form Closure¶
Automatic Closure¶
Set up automatic closure in form settings:
- Close Date — the form stops accepting responses after this date
- Max Submissions — the form closes after reaching this number of responses
Manual Closure¶
Change the form status to Closed from the forms list or builder to immediately stop accepting responses.
What Respondents See¶
When a form is closed, respondents visiting the link see a message indicating the form is no longer accepting responses.
Version History¶
Every publish creates a version snapshot:
- Open your form and go to the Versions tab.
- See a timeline of all published versions with dates.
- Click any version to preview it.
- Click Restore to roll back to that version.
Version history is your safety net — publish frequently and roll back if needed.
Updating a Published Form¶
You can edit a published form at any time:
- Make your changes in the builder (auto-saved as draft changes).
- Click Publish again to push updates live.
- A new version snapshot is created.
Existing responses are not affected by form changes.
