🔗Your public link

Understand the public URL of a Dapta Form: what each part of /{account code}/{handle}/{slug} means, the three places you can copy it from, how the slug is built from the form name, and why old links k

Every form you publish gets one public address. Anyone with that address can open the form: no account, no login, no app.

The shape of the URL

https://forms.dapta.ai/{account code}/{handle}/{form slug}

For example: https://forms.dapta.ai/k7m2xq/alex/lead-qualification-quiz

Part	What it is
Account code	A six character code for your account, for example k7m2xq. Dapta generates it for you.
Handle	Your personal handle, for example alex. It is created from your name or email when you first sign in.
Form slug	The form itself, built from the form name (see below).

You can see all three under Account settings in the Public page tab, in the Your identity card.

Step 1: Open the form in the editor and click the Copy link icon (the chain link) in the topbar. The icon flashes a check mark and the full URL is on your clipboard.

Copy link in the editor topbar. The icon next to it, Open form, opens the live form in a new tab.

---

Step 2: You do not have to open the editor at all. On the Forms page, every row shows the public path under the form name, and carries the same Copy link and Open form icons on the right.

The public path is printed right on the row, so you can read the URL without opening anything.

---

Step 3: Your account also has one link of its own: the page at your handle that lists your published forms. Once that page is turned on, Home shows it in a box at the top with Copy and Open.

The Your public page box only appears while that page is published. See Your public page.

How the slug is made

When you create a form, Dapta Forms builds the slug from the name you typed:

• everything becomes lowercase,

• accents are removed, so Cotización becomes cotizacion,

• spaces and punctuation become single hyphens,

• it is cut at 60 characters,

• if another form in your account already uses that slug, a number is added: contact-form, then contact-form-2, then contact-form-3.

So a form named Lead qualification quiz gets the slug lead-qualification-quiz.

💡 Tip: The slug is set when the form is created and does not change afterwards. Renaming a form in the editor changes its name in your Forms list, never the link you already shared.

Vanity slug

The account code is short but not memorable. A vanity slug replaces it with a word you choose, so forms.dapta.ai/k7m2xq/alex/demo can read forms.dapta.ai/acme/alex/demo.

The vanity slug is a perk of a paid Dapta subscription, not a setting inside Forms. Its current value is shown read only under Account settings, Public page, in the Your identity card, and reads Not set until one is claimed. Ask your Dapta contact to set one up for your account.

Vanity slugs are lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens, and a short list of words is reserved (admin, api, login, pricing and similar) because they are already used by the product itself.

Old links keep working

Links you have already sent out do not break:

• When your account gets a vanity slug, the old six character code keeps resolving to the same forms, for good. A link printed on a flyer last year still opens.

• The same is true if a vanity slug is ever replaced: the previous one keeps working too.

Nothing about your link expires, and there is no way to close a form other than deleting it.

⚠️ Note: Deleting a form deletes its submissions with it and turns the link into a not found page. There is no "unpublish" switch.

What's next

• Embed on your website: show the same form inside your own page instead of linking out to it.

• Your public page: one address that lists every form you want people to find.

• Share card (social preview image): control the picture that appears when the link is pasted into a chat.

• Hidden fields & URL prefill: add ?key=value to the link to fill answers in advance.
