How do I share an opt-in form if I don't have a website?

Edited

You don’t need a website to grow your email list 🙌
Flodesk lets you share opt-in forms using simple, shareable links—no coding required.

If you don’t have a website (or don’t want to embed code), the easiest option is to use a Full page form or a Link in bio form.

Best form types to use (no website needed)

Full page form

A standalone signup page with its own URL.
Perfect for:

  • Sharing on social media

  • Adding to your Instagram bio

  • Linking in emails, DMs, or text messages

Link in bio form

A mini landing page that holds multiple links, including your opt-in form.
Perfect for:

  • Instagram, TikTok, or Threads bios

  • Creators who want one link for everything

Both form types come with a shareable URL you can post anywhere.

Forms that can’t be shared without a website

These forms must be embedded on a site and don’t have shareable links:

  • Inline forms

  • Popup forms

If you want a form you can share directly, choose Full page or Link in bio instead.

How to get your form link (step by step)

Step 1: Create or open your form

Go to Forms and open a Full page or Link in bio form.

Step 2: Open form settings

Click the Settings button in the form editor.

Step 4: Customize how your link looks on social media

Click Share, then:

  • Copy the form link, or

  • Share directly to Facebook, X (Twitter), Pinterest, or LinkedIn

  • Grab the form's QR code

That’s it—your opt-in form is live.

FAQs

Can I share my opt-in form on social media without a website?

Yes. Full page forms and Link in bio forms are designed specifically for sharing via links—no website needed.

Can I use one form link everywhere?

Absolutely. You can reuse the same form link in:

  • Social media bios

  • DMs

  • Emails

  • Text messages

  • QR codes

Do subscribers still get added to my segments?

Yes. Any segments you connect to the form will automatically apply when someone signs up.

Should I turn on double opt-in?

That’s up to you. Double opt-in adds an extra confirmation step, which can improve list quality. It’s optional and can be toggled in form settings.

Can I change my form link later?

Yes. You can edit your form link and preview settings from the Link tab.

Why don’t inline or popup forms have shareable links?

Inline and popup forms are designed to live inside a website. If you need a form you can share directly, use a Full page or Link in bio form instead.
