# Public link

> Copy your form's public URL and track which channel each response came from.

Every published form has a permanent public URL. Share it anywhere — in messages, emails, social posts, or documents — and respondents can open it directly in their browser without an account.

***

## Finding your link

Open the form from the dashboard and go to **Share → Link & QR Code**. The direct link is displayed at the top of the page.

Click the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.

Your link looks like:

```
https://feedal.com/f/your-form-slug
```

***

## Source tracking

Feedal automatically detects which channel a response came from using the `?s=` query parameter appended to your link. This data appears in the **Sources** chart on the analytics overview.

| Parameter value | Channel                                                   |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `?s=q`          | QR code (added automatically when you download a QR code) |
| `?s=m`          | Email (used in the email template)                        |
| `?s=e`          | Embed script                                              |
| `?s=l`          | Direct link                                               |

You can also append your own custom source value for campaign tracking:

```
https://feedal.com/f/your-form-slug?s=twitter-bio
https://feedal.com/f/your-form-slug?s=newsletter-march
```

Custom values appear in the sources breakdown alongside the built-in ones.

<Note>
  The `s` parameter is read at session start and stored with the session record.
  It cannot be changed after the session begins.

## Sharing on different channels

| Channel          | Recommendation                                                            |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Email            | Paste the plain link or use the [Email template](/sharing/email-embed)    |
| Social media     | Shorten with a URL shortener and add `?s=twitter` or similar              |
| Print / physical | Use a [QR code](/sharing/qr-codes) — easier to scan than typing a URL     |
| Website          | Use the [embed script](/sharing/embed) for an inline or widget experience |
| Messaging apps   | Paste the plain link — messaging apps usually render a preview card       |

## Disabling a form

To stop accepting responses without deleting the form, go to **Settings → General** and toggle **Accepting responses** off. Respondents who visit the link will see a "form closed" message.
