Creating a URL or Web Link

The Web Link is the most common way to Publish your survey. It provides a unique link that can be posted to a website, sent in an email through your personal email program, and otherwise shared with your audience. Multiple Web Links can be created for a single survey.

Existing Links & Campaigns

Name of the Web Link

Quick access to the Web Link URL (left click to easily 'select all' so it can be copied)

Share this Link: You can click on this to get an easily copied version of the link (generally used if it's a very long link)

Number of completed responses collected through this specific Web Link

Themes used for your Link/Campaign. Individual links can have individual themes (at Enterprise and above)

Preview link button: If you'd like to preview this link to see how it looks, you can click the small magnifying glass (you can also make customizations to this link when you click this option.

Change this Links Theme: You can go directly into the link and change the theme from here.

This bar will show you the status of link and whether it's open or closed.

Change the name of the Web Link

Active links can be used, while Closed links will display the Close Message (9) when used

Enterprise and Dedicated customers can switch to a Secure SLL encrypted link, which is compatible with the Sub-Types (4): Default and Short URL

The Default link is compatible with all plan levels, while the Short link, and Branded Subdomain are for Pro and above customers. The Private Domain is a feature available for Enterprise and Dedicated customers and gives the greatest amount of branding

[optional] Set a quota or limit on the number of completed responses that may be collected with this Web Link. Once the quota is met, the Close Message is displayed (9)

[optional] These dates will effect the Status (2) of the survey and outside of the Start and Stop dates and times, the Web Link will display the Close Message (9)

[optional] Anyone using this Web Link will automatically have any URL Variables included with their response without being visible to the respondent

The default Auto language will attempt to detect the language of the respondent's browser and display the survey in that language, if available. A specific language can be chosen and forced for this Web Link by selecting it from the drop-down menu

Types of Web Links (Sub-Type)

Each Sub-Type offers a slightly different format. All of the options offer some level of personalization of the link, with the Private Domain being the only one without SurveyGizmo branding in the URL.

Parts of the URL in bold represent items that can be altered on a per Web Link basis.
