Sharing pages
Copy link to form
Sharing pages allow you to share forms directly with users - via the URL. You can send this URL in an email, or add it to any link on your site.
The easiest way to share a form is to go to Settings → Sharing in the editor and just copy the link:
Request a review
This sharing link won’t be available until the form is reviewed:
The reviews are done manually by our support team in order to ensure no malicious forms are shared this way.
Review usually only takes a few hours on a business day, but can take longer if submitted during a weekend. Adding any changes to the form after the review is complete will require a new review.
Warning
The following items will prevent your form from passing a review:
Faking other websites or e-mail messages (website spoofing)
Login forms (login spoofing) and password collection
Empty forms or landing pages without form fields
Missing or nonobvious submit button
Credit card info collection
Once your account is approved, your forms will no longer need a review before sharing. To get your account approved, you must first design a few forms that will be approved after a review, purchase a subscription, then write to us at support@plumsail.com to approve your account.
Customize sharing page
To customize a sharing page, go to your Plumsail Account → Forms → Pages section and click Add page:
Once you click it, you’ll be greeted with the following screen:
Here, you can configure sharing page to your liking and change its appearance to match your company’s or personal style.
If you select Make default for this page, you’ll be able to share any form with this page, via links in the Forms section of your account:
Title field is mandatory and its required to identify each sharing page that you have. You can also change the Logo and add a link to it, so when users click on the logo, it redirects them to your site. Adjust Header where the logo is placed by switching header color or the pattern, where you can choose from many options. Choose Body background - either a solid color or an image.
You can upload your own image or select one of existing in image gallery:
Customize the text that appears above the form.
Finally, you can also adjust Footer’s background color, text color and what text will appear in the footer.
With all that done, save the page.
After saving you’ll get some extra options. For once, you’ll be able to Save as or Delete the page. You’ll also finally get an option to Share the page:
When you click Share, you’ll be able to choose which form to share and copy the URL for sharing:
