Quick Answer

Access the Share panel by clicking Share in the top right to publish your form and get sharing options. Copy links, generate QR codes, embed on sites/emails, or share socially. Troubleshoot by republishing, editing meta info, or checking for outages.

Prerequisites

  • A Typeform account (free or paid)
  • Form fully created and published
  • Stable internet and modern browser
  • Optional: Paid plan for custom domains

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Access the Share panel

Open your Typeform in the form builder and click the Share button in the top right corner (visible in Content, Workflow, Connect, and Share panels). This publishes the form live if it isn't already; subsequent edits change it to Publish edits.
2

Copy the shareable link

In the Share panel (left side shows sharing options, right side shows settings), click Copy link to get the direct URL in format https://yourworkspace.typeform.com/to/[formID]. Anyone with this link can access and respond to the form.
Test the link in incognito mode to ensure it works.
3

Generate a QR code

In the Share panel, click the QR code icon (code icon) to create a scannable QR code for the form link. Download or share it directly for easy mobile access.
4

Share via social media

In the Share panel, click icons for Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Buffer, or Linktr.ee to share directly to those platforms.
Ensure meta image and description are set for better previews.
5

Customize the URL

In the Share panel, click Customize > Edit, enter a descriptive string (e.g., customer-feedback-2026), then Save. Requires custom subdomain; default uses auto-generated form ID.
Available on Plus or higher plans.
6

Adjust link settings and meta info

In the Share panel right side menu, upload or design a meta image (via Canva), edit meta description, toggle Show in search results (default off for Google indexing), or customize URL end.
7

Embed on a website

In the Share panel, select Embed in a web page (left side). Choose Standard embed, Popup, Slider, or Embed SDK. Preview, then copy HTML like
<div data-tf-widget="formID" ...></div>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
and paste into your site's source code.
Responsive by default; no terminal commands needed.
8

Embed in an email

In the Share panel, select Embed in an email or click the email icon to open your default email client with the form link pre-inserted. Use email tools for hyperlinks if needed.
Pair with personalization tokens for advanced use.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

"No healthy upstream" error when generating/sharing link

Typeform server outage; wait for resolution (hours), check status page/community, test in incognito after.

Link not clickable or no preview in emails/messengers (plain text URL, missing meta)

Edit URL preview in Share panel: upload meta image via Canva, customize description, use hyperlink tools.

Access restricted: "Sorry, you can't access this typeform until its creator says so"

Ensure form is published (click Share or Publish edits); check share options and permissions.

Old URL/name previews on social media after customization

Republish form, clear cache, re-share; verify workspace name and subdomain updates.

Form not allowing responses due to limits

Upgrade plan applies to new responses; republish existing forms or contact support for legacy issues.
