How do I add a link to my form?

In ActiveCampaign, the ability to add a link to your form is an essential feature that allows users to include important legal and informational links, such as your Privacy Policy or Terms of Service. This feature is particularly relevant for ensuring compliance and transparency when collecting user information through forms. Understanding how to effectively add a link can enhance user experience and foster trust.

How to access this feature

To begin utilizing the feature of adding a link to your form, you must first navigate to the forms section of your ActiveCampaign account. This can be accomplished by accessing the following pathway:

1. From the dashboard, go to **Website**. 2. Click on **Forms**.

Once you are in the Forms section, you will be able to edit existing forms or create new ones that can include custom links.

Step-by-step instructions

To add a link to your form, follow these detailed steps:

1. Navigate to **Website** > **Forms**.
2. Identify the form you wish to edit and click the **Edit** button.
3. Locate the **HTML Code** field in the available elements and drag it to your form.
4. Click on the **HTML Code** field that you just added to the form.
5. On the right side of the form builder, a box will appear where you can input your HTML code. Here, you can type or paste the HTML code for the link you want to incorporate.
6. Once you have entered your HTML, make sure to click **Integrate** at the top right of the screen to save your changes.

Configuration options and settings

When adding links to your form, it is important to consider the following configurations:

• The option of using the **HTML Code** field is designed primarily for advanced users who are comfortable with HTML coding.
• The **HTML Code** field can only be used with inline forms. This limitation means that you cannot use it in floating bar, floating box, or modal forms.
• You have the capability to add multiple **HTML Code** fields to a single inline form, providing flexibility in how much information and how many links you can include.

Best practices and tips

To get the most out of adding links to your form, consider following these best practices:

• **Be Clear and Concise**: When creating links to your Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, make sure the text is clear so users understand where they are being directed.
• **Test Links**: Ensure that you test the links you add to your form to verify they are working correctly before publishing your form.
• **Style Your Links**: Use CSS styling within your HTML code to ensure your links match the overall design of your form and are easily noticeable by users.
• **Place Strategically**: Consider the placement of your links within the form to ensure they are visible but do not distract from the main purpose of the form.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while trying to add links to your form, here are some common troubleshooting steps:

• **Check Compatibility**: Ensure that you are using an inline form type, as the **HTML Code** field is not supported by floating bars, floating boxes, or modal types.
• **Verify HTML Code**: If the link is not displaying as intended, double-check your HTML code for syntax errors or formatting issues.
• **Clear Cache**: Sometimes changes may not immediately reflect due to cached content. Clear your browser cache and reload the form page.
