Sharing Forms on WhatsApp and Social Media
Once you have built your form, the next step is getting it in front of your customers. Foliodia forms are designed to load quickly and look beautiful on all mobile devices.
Overview
Every form you create has a unique public URL. You can paste this URL anywhere on the internet. When a customer clicks it, they are instantly taken to your optimized checkout page.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Forms dashboard.
- Locate the form you want to share.
- Click the Copy Link icon next to the form's URL.
- On WhatsApp: Paste the link into a broadcast list, group chat, or direct message. Wait a few seconds before sending so WhatsApp can generate a rich preview card with your form's title.
- On Instagram: Edit your profile and paste the link into your "Website" field, or use it as a "Link Sticker" in your Instagram Stories.
- On Facebook/X: Create a post explaining your offer and paste the link at the end of the text.
Tips & Best Practices
- Link Shorteners: You can use free tools like Bitly or TinyURL to make your links look cleaner in tight spaces like an Instagram bio, though Foliodia links are already quite short.
- WhatsApp Business: If you use WhatsApp Business, you can set your Foliodia form link as your automated "Away Message" or "Greeting Message" so customers can browse your offers even when you are asleep.
Common Problems
The link preview isn't showing up on WhatsApp. Link previews rely on the social media platform crawling the page. If you just created the form seconds ago, it might take a moment. Try sending the link to a secondary number and wait a few seconds before hitting send.
