Posted at

In one sentence

Posted at is a note to yourself — a simple, hand-maintained list of the places you've shared this form (Facebook, a newsletter, a printed flyer, a partner's site). That's all it is: it records where the form lives so you and your team have it written down in one spot.

What it does (and doesn't)

Posted at never changes a submission. To be unambiguous, it does not:

  • ❌ post or publish the form anywhere (you still share the link yourself)
  • ❌ validate or block any submission
  • ❌ set or change a submission's source
  • ❌ generate links, embeds, or tracking parameters

What it does: it's your declared channel list — stored, shown back in the form's settings, and read by the Submissions by source breakdown (just below it) to cross-check your declared channels against where submissions actually came from.

How to fill it in

In Settings → Posted at, add one place per line. A line is a label and, optionally, a link after a pipe (|):

Facebook | https://facebook.com/yourpage/posts/123
Instagram
Summer flyer (QR) | https://example.com/summer
Partner site | https://partner.example.com/contact
  • Text before the | is the label.
  • Text after the | is an optional link.
  • A line with no | is just a label.

How it relates to "source"

This is the part that's easy to mix up, so here it is plainly:

  • Source is recorded automatically on every submission — it's the channel a given submission actually came from, and it drives your reporting.
  • Posted at is a manual list you keep of the channels you expect — it never touches a submission.

They're complementary: Posted at is your master list ("here's everywhere this form is shared"), and when you set up each of those links or embeds you tag it with a matching source so your reporting lines up with your list. The Submissions by source breakdown (just under Posted at in the form's settings) makes the comparison for you — it flags sources that aren't in your Posted at list ("not in Posted at") and declared channels that haven't received any submissions yet.

Because it's purely organizational, there's no risk to filling it in and no breakage from leaving it empty. Use it when you want one place that answers "where is this form actually live?"
