  • as a public link (that you can paste into your own email, onto your website, etc.)
  • embedded in a website or pop-up
  • via social media plugins
  • as a QR code (add to printed materials for easy scanning)

1. Activate your survey

  • Before you share/distribute your survey, make sure you activate it using the dropdown option to the right of your survey title.
