Getting Started with LNK7 Forms

LNK7 Forms lets you build a form, share it with LNK7 short links and see every response next to the link it came from: clicks, arrivals, starts, completions and where people stopped. Forms are free, like the rest of LNK7.

Who Can Use Forms

You need a registered account with a confirmed email address. Forms belong to a workspace: a form you make in your personal workspace is yours alone, and a form you make in a team is shared with that team.

  • A workspace can have up to 50 forms
  • A form can have up to 100 questions and collect up to 10,000 responses
  • A form can have up to 20 active share links at once

Building a Form

  1. 1 Click "Forms" in the sidebar, then "New form" - or start from a template under "Templates and import"
  2. 2 Edit the title and optional description directly on the form. They save when you leave the field; "Save details" is also available. Open "Collector and contact details" if you want to add a name or contact at the foot of the form; both are optional
  3. 3 Choose a question type and click "Add first question". Write the question directly on its card, edit the choices and choose whether it is required. The answer fields show the respondent layout. Click "Done" to close the editing controls, or click another question to edit it. Use "Add next question" to keep going
  4. 4 Review the form on the same page, then click "Publish" when it is ready. Example answer fields cannot submit responses

The editor starts simple. "Advanced settings" keeps the same form editor and opens extra question controls, endings, draft history and form settings underneath it. The additional tabs include Logic to show or skip questions, Design for colours, fonts, a logo and images, and Translations to offer the form in more than one language. Hiding advanced settings keeps your saved choices. Each tab has a short guide you can dismiss and reopen; that preference is remembered in this browser.

Use **Add section** to group questions on the current page with a title and optional description. Use **Add page** for a separate step with its own section heading; respondents choose **Next** to continue. You can reorder pages or remove a page break without deleting its questions.

Use "Duplicate" on a question to place a copy immediately after it. The copy keeps its wording, answer options, images and translations and can be edited separately. Existing logic rules keep referring to the original question. If it is the email question used to group responses by person, the original keeps that role.

Images can be PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2 MB each and 300 a form. A choice question can have up to 50 options, a dropdown up to 500.

Starting with AI

Open **AI**, between Questions and Share, and describe the form you want. For example: "A marketing survey about shoes". Review the suggestion, then choose **Use this form** or **Add these questions**. Existing questions are kept. You can edit the draft in Questions before publishing.

AI allows 3 generation attempts a day per workspace, with the same account limit across workspaces. Your description is sent to Anthropic; leave out personal and confidential information. Failed provider requests count too. Daily limits reset at midnight UTC, and a shared site allowance may temporarily limit availability. If AI says it is not configured, you can still build your form manually.

**Private response insights** summarise grouped choices for people allowed to view the responses. Generating them also requires export permission. They are never sent to respondents. They need at least 10 completed responses and enough responses in each choice group; free-text answers and contact fields are excluded. The AI receives question labels and grouped choice counts. Some questions are omitted, so check the full Responses tab too.

Insights can be requested once per form every 7 days, with 3 attempts per day per workspace and account. Saved insights expire after 7 days and disappear from the view when responses change. AI suggestions can be inaccurate: check them against the actual results.

Trying It Before You Share It

Once a version is published, "Try it" opens the form as a respondent would. The link lasts 30 minutes. What you submit is marked as a test: it is never counted, never sent to integrations, and it is deleted after 7 days.

Publishing

If Publish is unavailable, the reason appears beside the button with a link to the full checklist. Save your Form details after editing the title, description or optional collector details.

  1. 1 Fix everything listed under "Before you can publish"
  2. 2 Click "Publish" - the form is live and its share links open it
  • You can publish from 24 hours after you confirmed your email address
  • The first time a workspace publishes, a member accepts the data processing agreement for it: your workspace decides what its forms collect, and LNK7 processes the responses on its behalf. A new version of the agreement is accepted before the next publish, and forms already live keep running
  • Each publish is a new version. People part-way through finish on the version they started, unless you open Advanced settings and tick "Require the new version"

What a form can never ask for

Forms cannot mention passwords, PINs, one-time or sign-in codes, card or bank details or identity documents, and publishing is refused if they do. If your form genuinely needs such wording, for example a security-awareness survey, contact support to have it reviewed.

Closing and Deleting

Under Advanced settings, "Close form" stops it accepting responses until you reopen it. You can also set when it opens and closes, or close it after a number of responses, on the Settings tab. A deleted form can be restored from "Recently deleted" for 30 days; after that it is erased with its responses.
