Publishing Forms

Once your form is ready, publish it to start collecting responses.

The public URL follows this format:

Embedding​

Embed your form directly into your website or application. Click the ... menu on the form detail page and select Copy embed code to get a ready-to-paste snippet.

See the Embed documentation for the full setup guide, configuration options, and event handling.

Managing Published Forms​

Updating a Published Form​

Changes you make to a form after publishing will automatically be reflected in the published version. Users who open the form will always see the latest version.

Unpublishing​

To stop accepting responses:

  1. Click the Share button
  2. Select Unpublish

The public link will no longer work, and users will see a message that the form is unavailable.

Sharing with Collaborators​

Share your form with team members who need to:

  • View submissions
  • Edit the form
  • Manage publishing settings
  1. Click the Share button
  2. Enter the email address of your collaborator
  3. Select their permission level

Automate with Webhooks​

After publishing, you can set up webhooks to push submission data to external systems automatically. See Webhooks & Workflows.

Best Practices​

  • Test before publishing - Fill out your form yourself to verify it works as expected
  • Share the link carefully - Anyone with the link can submit responses
  • Monitor submissions - Check regularly for new responses
