How to share, publish, or embed fillable forms using Zoho Writer fillable templates

Overview 

Zoho Writer fillable template allows you to create and share general purpose forms (like feedback forms) and customized business forms (onboarding forms, service request forms, material request forms, survey forms, etc.) to collect data and signatures. You can share this form with specific users or publish them on a website to collect data. This article will outline the relevant steps.

Prerequisites 

Embedding a form requires a Zoho WorkDrive account with a custom domain enabled.

Steps

  4. In the share dialog:


    1. Share to users within your organization
      1. Select "Fill as a form" as access level, enter the email address of users to whom you wish to share the form, and click Share.
    2. Share to users without a Zoho account with OTP
      1. Select "Fill as a form" as access level, enter the email address of users to whom you wish to share the form, click Share, and confirm.
      2. This option will email a OTP to the user and as soon as they prove their identity using the OTP, they will be able to access the form.
    3. Share as an external link (URL)
      1. Select "Fill as a form" as the access level, and click "New external share link".
      2. In the external share link dialog that opens, enter a name for the URL, select "Fill as a form" as access level, select the desired controls, and click Create.
      3. Copy the link and share it with the desired users. You can also use the "Email share link" to email the URL to the desired users directly from the dialog.

Publish or embed a fillable form 

  1. Open the Writer fillable template that you wish to publish.
  2. On the left pane, go to the Automate tab --> Finish
