Hi  
  
  
  
I’m hoping someone can help me. I can’t seem to figure out how to make a form public.  
  
I created a form and linked the preview into a button on an email.  
  
  
  
I only figured out afterwards that no one can use the form as it requires Mautic credentials.  
  
  
  
How can I bypass the credentials requirement on a form. Am I even using the correct URL?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I’m hoping someone can help me. I can’t seem to figure out how to make a form public.  
I created a form and linked the preview into a button on an email.

I only figured out afterwards that no one can use the form as it requires Mautic credentials.

How can I bypass the credentials requirement on a form. Am I even using the correct URL?

Just copie the form JS code or the Iframe method and put it on the website you want to the form appear

Hi @francois. You have two choices to make form public. First and the simplest one is to create landing page in Mautic and embed this form on this landing page usign {form=xxx} tag. Second choice is the one described by ninjoan above.

Hi, @MauticDevelopers thank you that works perfectly. Wasn’t aware that the forms aren’t stand-alone.  
@ninjoan, thank you for your response as well. Will definitely try that when posting forms on the website, I doubt it will work on mailer?
