Sharing forms

Every form has a landing page hosted by XOXO at its own address, like xoxo.email/your-form. It works the moment you create the form, with no site or hosting of your own, so it’s the quickest way to start collecting subscribers.

How it works

The landing page carries the design you set in Creating: colors, fonts, and the layout image.

It runs the whole signup. A person fills in the landing page, gets the confirmation email, and lands on the success page once they confirm. Nobody joins your audience until they confirm.

It also comes with a link preview for messages and posts. The title is your account name, the description is your landing page’s subheading (or its first text block), and the image is the layout image, or a card in the form’s colors when there isn’t one.

Open a form’s landing page

1. Open Forms.
2. Select the form’s actions menu.
3. Select View.

In the editor, the arrow beside Landing page in the settings panel opens the same page in a new tab. Copy the address from your browser to share it.

Share a form’s landing page

Put the address anywhere a link can go:

• Your social profiles. The link in your bio is the one place most of your followers look.
• Your existing site. A “Subscribe” link in the nav or footer sends people to the landing page. To put the form itself on your site, see Embedding.
• Posts and messages. The link preview carries the title and image.
• Anywhere offline. The address is short enough to say out loud or print.

Change a form’s landing page URL

The URL is editable, so you can use something short and memorable.

1. Open Forms.
2. Select the form, then select the settings button in the upper right.
3. Edit Landing page, then select Save.

Keep a landing page out of search results

Search engines in the settings panel decides whether search engines may list the landing page. It’s allowed for a new form. Turn it off and the page asks search engines not to index it. The page still works for anyone with the link, and embeds aren’t affected.

Turn it off when the page isn’t meant to be found:

• A private list. A form for customers, members, or event attendees, where you share the link directly and only with them.
• An embedded-only form. You’ve put the form on your own site and don’t want a second copy competing with it in search results.
• A draft or an experiment. A duplicate you’re trying a design on, or a form you haven’t launched yet.

Allowing it doesn’t put the page in search results on its own. Search engines find it the same way people do, by following links to it.
