Publish and share a form

You can share a form on its hosted page or place it inside your own website. Both methods use the same fields, design and target list.

Publish the form

Check the design, fields, target list and response behaviour before the first publish. MailGraf will not publish a form without a target list.

1. Open the three-dot menu on Forms

   Find the form you want to share, then click Edit form.

2. Click Preview

   Check the desktop and mobile layouts. Return to the editor if anything needs changing.

3. Click Publish

   MailGraf saves the latest changes and sets the form status to Published.

The form now carries a Published status on the Forms screen. Use Unpublish from its three-dot menu when you need to take it offline.

Check the redirect

Open Audience & Data and review Redirect before sharing the form. Leave the field empty to show the thank-you message you prepared in the form. Enter a full https:// or http:// address to send the visitor to your own page after a successful submission.

For a newsletter signup, make sure the destination also tells the visitor to check their inbox and use the confirmation link. Redirecting the visitor does not remove the double opt-in step.

Copy the share link

Select the form box in the editor and open Share & Embed. The Share link opens the form on a page hosted by MailGraf.

Click Copy link, then add the address to your website, social profile or direct message. A draft form does not open through this link.

Embed the form

Find Embed code in the same panel and click Copy code. The snippet has two lines. Add both to your website, placing the div where the form should appear.

Visitors fill in the embedded form on your page. After a successful submission, they either see the form's thank-you message or move to the address under Redirect. New responses appear under Recent form responses on Forms. Newsletter sign-ups show confirmation states such as Awaiting confirmation, Confirmed, Confirmation expired and Confirmation email bounced.
