Publishing & Sharing Forms

Once your form is ready, publishing and sharing allows you to start collecting responses from your audience.

QuipForm makes it easy to distribute forms through direct links, websites, landing pages, social media, email campaigns, and embedded experiences.

Publishing a Form

Before sharing your form, ensure it is ready for respondents.

Review:

• Questions and content
• Conditional logic
• Calculated fields
• Form settings
• Thank You page
• Branding and customization
• Mobile responsiveness

To publish a form:

1. Open your form.
2. Click Publish.
3. Confirm your changes.
4. Your form is now live and ready to receive submissions.

Getting Your Form Link

Every published form receives a unique shareable URL.

Example:

https://forms.quipform.com/your-form

You can copy this link directly from the Share menu.

Sharing Your Form

Direct Link Sharing

The simplest way to distribute a form is by sharing its URL.

Common channels include:

• Email
• Messaging apps
• Social media
• Online communities
• Customer support conversations

Website Embedding

You can embed forms directly into your website.

Popular use cases include:

• Contact pages
• Lead capture pages
• Registration pages
• Feedback portals

Embedding keeps visitors on your website while they complete the form.

Social Media

Forms can be shared across:

• LinkedIn
• X (Twitter)
• Facebook
• Instagram
• Reddit
• Communities and forums

This is useful for surveys, registrations, applications, and lead generation campaigns.

Email Campaigns

Include your form link in:

• Newsletters
• Product announcements
• Customer outreach
• Marketing campaigns

Email is often one of the highest-converting channels for form submissions.

Using Custom Domains

If you have a custom domain configured, your forms can be shared using your branded URL.

Example:

https://forms.yourcompany.com/contact

This creates a more professional and trusted experience for respondents.

Before You Share

Before launching publicly, test your form by:

1. Completing a full submission.
2. Verifying email notifications.
3. Reviewing conditional logic.
4. Checking mobile responsiveness.
5. Confirming analytics are recording activity.

Testing helps catch issues before respondents encounter them.

Managing a Published Form

You can continue editing your form after publishing.

Changes are reflected when the updated version is published.

Common updates include:

• Updating questions
• Adjusting logic
• Improving wording
• Adding branding
• Refining workflows

Temporarily Stopping Responses

If you no longer want to accept submissions:

1. Open the form.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. Disable submissions or unpublish the form.

Visitors will no longer be able to submit responses until the form is re-enabled.

Best Practices
