Sharing Forms and Campaigns
Every place you share a form - a post, a newsletter, a flyer, an ad - gets its own share link: an LNK7 short link that opens the form. Each response then shows which share link and campaign it came from, and each link shows its own clicks, starts and completions.
Share Links and Campaigns
- 1 Open the form and click "Share"
- 2 Create a share link and give it a name only you see, such as "Newsletter, May"
- 3 Copy the new link and post it where people will see it
- 4 To share in several places, use "Create several links at once": choose or name a campaign, then enter how many links you need for each place
A campaign is an optional group of links for the same activity, such as "Spring launch". A "campaign kit" simply creates a batch of those links together. For example, one LinkedIn link, one newsletter link and one flyer link all open the same form, while showing which place brought each response. You do not need a campaign to create a single share link.
- A form can have up to 20 active share links
- Each share link has a PNG and SVG QR code
- A share link can have a password, an expiry date or a click limit, like any LNK7 link
Tags
With tag tracking on, the tags you set on a share link (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content) are kept with each response, and the results can be filtered by them. "Keep ad click ids" on the Settings tab also keeps the click id an ad platform adds to the link, such as gclid or fbclid.
Under "New share link", tracking tags are suggested automatically. Open "Tracking tags (filled automatically)" to review or change them:
- **Source and medium** come from where you share the link, such as newsletter and email. For a paid ad, enter the ad platform as the source.
- **Campaign** uses the selected campaign's tag, or the form title if no campaign is selected. Using the form title as a tag does not create a campaign group.
- **Content** uses the link name, or a campaign default, to tell posts, buttons or ads apart.
- **Term** is an optional paid-search keyword. It uses a campaign default if there is one; otherwise leave it blank unless you need it.
Names become lowercase tags with hyphens. Values you edit stay as you set them when you change the channel, campaign or link name. Empty fields can still use campaign defaults when someone opens the link.
Prefilled Links
On the Share tab, open "Advanced sharing" to find Prefilled links. Its Info button explains when to use it. A prefilled link fills in chosen answers or hidden fields for the person who opens it - for example their membership number. The address is shown once. It lasts 30 days unless you choose otherwise, up to 365, and can be single use.
Who Can Open the Form
Under "Who can open the form" you choose between anyone with the form's address and share links only. A form open to anyone can also be embedded on your website with "Embed on a website".
Checking a Campaign Before You Send It
Under "Advanced sharing", use "Check a campaign" to test a campaign before sending it out. Its Info button explains the checks. The campaign check opens every link of a campaign without counting a click, confirms the form is open, checks the tags and QR codes, and sends a test response.
Clicks and completions
Clicks on a share link appear in its analytics like any other link. The form's Funnel shows how many of those people arrived, started and finished, link by link.
