Sharing a Form

Updated:

Summary: Learn the different ways to share your forms with people outside or inside your database, and discover how to customize your form links and embed codes to fit your church's branding perfectly.

Before You Begin

  • The Intended Audience: The "Forms" section of the system is meant for Administrators, Staff, and Volunteers to create, edit, share, and view entries. It is not intended to be a public portal where end-users go to find and fill out forms.

  • Email Limitations: Forms cannot be embedded directly into an email body. Your recipients will not be able to fill out and submit them from within their inbox; forms must be linked to or embedded into a website.

Sharing Forms Outside the System (Public)

Breeze forms are primarily intended to be shared externally.

  1. Navigate to Forms.

  2. Click Share Form under the specific form you'd like to share.

  3. Choose one of the available sharing methods:

Share OptionDescription & Instructions
Form AddressA direct URL link to the form that you can email to others, post on social media, or hyperlink on a webpage.
LinkAn HTML code snippet for your web developer to include a text link to the form directly from your website.
EmbedA code snippet to embed the form directly onto a page on your website.
QR CodeYou can use a free 3rd-party website (like qrcode-monkey.com) to generate a QR code. Simply copy your "Form Address", paste it into the generator, customize your code, and download the image to print on bulletins or posters!

Sharing Forms Inside the System (Internal Users)

If you prefer your members to access forms directly from their own profiles while logged in, you can set this up using Customized Profile Fields!

Step 1: Copy the Form Link

  1. Navigate to Forms.

  2. Click Share Form under the form you'd like to share.

  3. Copy the Form Address URL.

Step 2: Add it to Profile Fields

  1. Navigate to Account Settings (⚙️) > Profile Fields.

  2. Drag a New Section from the left and drop it where you desire. Label this section something clear, like "Forms".

  3. Drag a Section Description into your new section.

  4. In the Section Description text box, type the name of the form, type a colon and a space, and then paste the shareable URL (e.g.,. kids camp registration: https://....) 

  5. Click Save Changes. Now users will see this clickable link when viewing their profile!

Customizing Your Sharing Options

You can easily adjust how your form links and embeds look to create a seamless experience for your members.

Customize the Form Address (URL)

You can edit the end of your form's URL (e.g., yourchurch.breezechms.com/form/KidsCamp) to make it cleaner and easier to share.

  1. Navigate to Forms and edit your form.

  2. Click the Go to Settings link in the bottom left.

  3. Click Show more options.

  4. Scroll to Web Address and type in a custom, easy-to-read label.

  5. Click Save Form.

Customize the HTML Link Text

When using the "Link" HTML option, you can edit the verbiage to fit your needs. By default, the code might say something like "Go to [Form Name]". You can change that text within the HTML code to anything you want, such as "Sign Up Now!" so the entire phrase becomes the clickable link.

Customize the Embed Code

The embed code is highly customizable. You can edit the form width, border color, background color, and button color directly in the code to seamlessly match your church's website.

  • Header & Title Visibility: If you use the standard embed code, the Form Title and Header Description are intentionally hidden to provide a cleaner look on your website.

  • Iframe Workaround (To Show Header): If you want to display the header image and title, you can use a custom iframe code instead:

    <iframe src="https://SUBDOMAIN.breezechms.com/FORMURL" style="width: 960px; height: 1250px; border: 1px solid: #fff;" ></iframe> (Note: Adjust the size and background as needed).

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • Why isn't my embedded form working on my WordPress site?

    WordPress websites that are created and hosted directly by WordPress.com often reject standard JavaScript encoding for security reasons. This forces a format that is not compatible with our standard embed code and is outside the scope of our system's control. We recommend reaching out to WordPress support for their sanctioned workarounds (like using a plugin), or using the iframe embed method detailed above. (Note: Self-hosted WordPress sites using external hosting companies generally do not have this issue).
