Publish
Send one test, publish, and your link and embed code start working right away. Your live form then stays as it is until you choose to change it.
Send a test
On the Delivery tab, choose Send test delivery. It sends a real email to your real recipients, using your saved settings and notification template, so you see exactly what they’ll get.
Save your delivery changes first, and fill in any required sample answers under Preview. You can send one test per minute. The test is optional, but it’s the quickest way to know responses will reach you.
The result stays on the tab:
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Passed | The provider accepted the test. Check the inbox too |
| Failed | It didn’t go through. Check the recipient and sender, then send another |
| Test stale | Your delivery settings changed after the test. Send another |
| Not tested | No test has gone out yet |
Publish your form
Open Publish. The Delivery readiness panel lists anything to fix:
- Resolve before publishing items stop you. Each one links to its fix.
- Review before sharing items are warnings. You can still publish.
Choose Publish form. Your link and embed code start working right away.
From then on, the live form stays as it is until you choose Publish changes. Responses you already have stay tied to the version that accepted them.
Open and close your form
Public accesson the same tab controls whether a published form accepts responses:
| Setting | What visitors get |
|---|---|
| Public | The live form |
| Unpublished | FORM_NOT_FOUND. Your history stays |
| Closed | FORM_CLOSED, with your message |
| Maintenance | FORM_MAINTENANCE, with your message |
Response window sets open and close dates. Publishing doesn’t reopen a closed form, so change
Choose how people reach it
Pick an Integration method on the Publish tab. All three use the same server checks, and your recipients and provider keys never reach the page.
| Method | Good for | Code | Allowed origins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted | The fastest launch, or a link in an email | None | Not needed |
| Embed | Showing the form on a page of your site, with your form’s branding | One script tag | Not needed |
| API-only, or the browser mount | Your own markup, components, and styles | Yours | Needed when browser code on your site calls Formerie |
- Hosted: copy the Hosted URL, such as
https://forms.formerie.com/acme/contact. To use your own address, see Custom domains. - Embed: see Embed a form.
- API-only: see Choose how to connect.
Check your first response
Fill in the live form yourself. Your response appears under Submissions, and its email shows under Deliveries with a status such as Queued or Delivered.
