How to Enable and Use Public Links for Addo Forms

By default, Addo Forms are sent via email to specific recipients. A public link allows anyone with the link to fill out the form.

This is ideal for open registrations, event sign-ups, or enrollment forms, where no predefined recipients are needed. Public links can also be added to websites for easy access.

Enable a Public Link

  1. Go to 'Settings' > 'Forms':

  2. Select the form you want to activate. If it says 'Disabled', the public link is not yet enabled.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the form and check 'Enable public link':

⚠️If you see the message “Form is suspended – contact sender” it means that the owner of the account has insufficient credits to keep the form active.

To resolve this, contact the sender or account owner so they can add credits and reactivate the form.


Form owner

  • When a public link is enabled, you must select a form owner (an account user):

The form owner’s email receives all completed PDFs. Unlike email-sent forms, the sender will not receive the documents — only the form owner will.

Click 'Save' to complete the process.

Transactions and Credits

With a public link, a transaction is created on the sender’s account once the form is accessed, completed, and signed.


Credits are deducted for both the form submission (when saved) and the chosen signature method (when signed).
