Sharing a link

1. In your form builder, click the Share tab.
   
2. Under Share With, click Public (which is opened by default when you click the share tab).
   
3. Copy the link under Form Permalink (URL) and share it with your audience.
   
4. Shorten URL: If you'd like to shorten the permalink URL before distributing the link to the public, you can use the Shorten URL option. The shortened URL will be generated below your form's permalink, and you can use this link to receive form submissions. Shortened links are especially helpful when sharing forms in social media posts and other places with character limits.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. You can choose to disable the public link at any time using the toggle in the top-right corner.
   
   
   

   

   
   

Note:

• The Shorten URL option is available only in our paid plans.
• If the public URL of a form is disabled, the form will no longer be accessible through links shared via any medium (direct link, social media sharing, email campaigns), or any embed codes used in the web pages.
  
• Once the public link of a form is disabled, submitting new entries and Save/Update actions will no longer be allowed.The saved links of a form to resume submissions later will also be disabled.

Sharing forms on social media

You can circulate your form's permalink URL on social media instantly by clicking the social media icons. Zoho Forms has shortcuts to share your form on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. 

To share your form on other platforms, you can use the form's permalink URL. 

Track referrals

To know where your respondents found your form's permalink URL and submitted a response, you can use a tracking parameter  ?referrername=<referralwebsite> at the end of your form's permalink URL. You can enter a unique referrername for each source where you share your form. 

This way you will know where most of your traffic is originating from.
