FAQs

Which form providers are supported?

This feature should work with any form provider that has a share link.

How do I get the share link?

It depends on the form provider. In general, if you use the embed URL and copy the link in the src tag it should work. For example for Google Forms:

Share window in Google Forms

 

Can I be notified of the answers?

Most form providers allow you to set up email notifications for when people complete the form.

Does the form know which page people have come from?

Unfortunately, the form will not know which page people have come from. You can add a question to your form to gather this information.

How do I change the feedback footer text?

Unfortunately, you can't change the footer text at this time.
