Two Better Ways to Share a Form: Email Forms and Website Embeds
Learn why MyKayd added Email Forms and Website Embeds, who they are for, and how to let people start answering from email or complete a form directly on your website.
Most form builders make sharing simple: create a form, copy a link, and send it. That works, but a public link is not always the best place for the interaction to begin.
Someone reading your email has to leave the message before answering anything. Someone already on your website may have to leave the page to complete a form somewhere else.
MyKayd now includes Email Forms and Website Embeds so you can move the form closer to where the respondent already is. They solve different problems, but the principle is the same: reduce unnecessary steps between seeing a question and answering it.
Two sharing methods, two jobs
Email Forms: start the response in the inbox
Put supported answer choices into an email. When someone clicks one, MyKayd opens the form with that answer already carried into the real submission.
Website Embeds: keep the form on your page
Place a published MyKayd form directly inside your website with the JavaScript embed or iframe fallback, without rebuilding the form yourself.
Email Forms
Let people answer the first question from the email
Consider a customer satisfaction survey that begins with a rating. The traditional flow is email → open survey → find the first question → answer. An Email Form turns that into email → answer → continue.
MyKayd generates prefilled links for supported multiple-choice, rating, and checkbox questions. If a recipient clicks an answer in the email, the form opens with that choice already selected and lets them continue with the remaining questions.
The selected value is not merely an email click metric. When the respondent completes the form, it is included in the real MyKayd submission with the rest of their answers.
How was your experience?
Click an answer in the email → MyKayd opens with that answer prefilled → continue the form → submit normally.
Who should use Email Forms?
They are most useful when the first question is simple and the conversation already starts in an inbox: customer feedback, satisfaction surveys, event follow-ups, employee pulse surveys, product research, post-purchase questions, and other short feedback flows.
Create an Email Form
- Open the form you want to share and choose Share.
- Under Share another way, choose Email survey.
- Select a supported question and the answer options you want to place in the email.
- Use the generated links in your email message or campaign.
- Send yourself a test first. Click an answer, complete the form, and confirm the carried answer appears in the final response.
Website Embeds
Collect responses without sending visitors away from your website
A form is often part of a larger page: a demo request below product information, a waitlist on a landing page, registration on an event page, or feedback inside a help center. In those cases, opening a separate form URL can interrupt the experience.
Website Embeds let you place the published MyKayd form directly inside that page. Visitors can complete and submit it while the surrounding website remains part of the experience.
The recommended MyKayd JavaScript embed is responsive, supports normal form submission, and automatically resizes as the form changes. For platforms where adding the script is not practical, MyKayd also provides a standard iframe fallback.
<div data-mykayd-embed
data-url="https://forms.example.com/f/your-form"></div>
<script src="https://mykayd.com/embed.js" async></script>Who should use Website Embeds?
Website Embeds are a good fit for SaaS landing pages, contact and demo requests, event registration, waitlists, lead capture, application pages, customer feedback, help centers, and product pages where the form should feel like part of the page rather than a separate destination.
Embed a MyKayd form
- Open your form and choose Share.
- Under Share another way, choose Embed on website.
- Copy the recommended JavaScript snippet, or choose the iframe option if your website requires it.
- Paste the code where you want the form to appear on your website.
- Publish the page and test the full experience on desktop and mobile, including a real submission.
Which should you use?
Start where your respondents already are
Use an Email Form when the interaction begins in someone's inbox and you can make the first question immediately actionable.
Use a Website Embed when the form belongs inside an existing page or product experience and you want visitors to stay there while completing it.
Use the normal public link when you simply need a URL that can be shared anywhere. You can use different sharing methods for the same form without creating separate copies.
Why MyKayd built this
Building the form is only half the job
A well-designed form still needs distribution. People have to encounter it, start it, and complete it before there is a response to analyze or act on.
Email Forms and Website Embeds are part of making that distribution more flexible. MyKayd should not force every respondent through the same public-link journey when a better entry point already exists.
Build the form once, then place it where the interaction makes the most sense.
Ready to share your form differently?
Open any published MyKayd form and choose Share. You can use its public link, create an Email Form, or generate a Website Embed from the same place.
