Share
Share surveys online in seconds — a link, a QR code, or a 6-digit join code.
Respondents should never hunt for an app or create an account. Publish in Nice Forms and you get a public URL, a QR code for the room you are standing in, and a join code you can put on a slide.
A public survey link, ready the moment you hit publish
Every Nice Forms survey gets a clean URL on a public path. Copy it into an email, a newsletter, a bio, a ticket, or a chat. Anyone with the link can open the survey in a browser and start answering — no download, no login, no “create an account to continue.”
That is the difference between a survey people finish and a survey people mean to finish later. The later version rarely comes back. Put the link where the question is already on their mind.
QR codes for events, shops, classrooms, and packaging
A QR code is the same survey link, made scannable. Nice Forms generates it for you so you can drop it on a poster, a till-side card, a receipt, a workshop slide, or the last page of a printed programme.
In-person feedback dies when you hand someone a clipboard or promise to “send something round.” A code on the table collects the answer while the experience is still warm — which is the only time most people will tell you the truth about the queue, the session, or the unboxing.
A 6-digit join code for live rooms
Sometimes a long URL is the wrong object. For a lecture, an all-hands, or a community call, put a 6-digit join code on the screen. People go to the join page, type the code, and land in the survey without copying a character from a slide.
It is the same published survey, just a faster way in for a room that is already looking at you. Use it when you would otherwise lose three minutes to “what was the bit after the slash?”
No app, no account, any device
The survey player is a web page. It works on the phone in someone’s pocket and the laptop they already have open. That sounds obvious until you remember how many tools still ask respondents to sign in. Nice Forms does not. You can still capture a name and email after the last question if you want leads — as an optional step, not a gate on the first screen.
Where teams actually share Nice Forms surveys
The same link travels across channels without cloning the survey. Creators drop it under a video. Success teams send it after a ticket. Shops print the QR at the counter. Teachers put the join code on a slide before the break. Agencies attach the URL to a kickoff mail. One published survey, many doors in, one set of results.
- Email, SMS, and chat — paste the URL next to one sentence of context.
- Websites and social bios — a standing link for an always-on pulse.
- Events and retail — QR codes at the moment of truth.
- Live sessions — the 6-digit join code on a slide or a whiteboard.
Why easy sharing is a completion-rate feature
Access is the first question
If opening the survey is harder than answering it, you will never see the real opinions. A direct link on any device removes that first “no.”
More rooms, same questionnaire
Online, in person, and on a slide can all point at one survey. You compare like with like instead of running three tools for three locations.
Faster replies while the moment is fresh
Post-event, post-purchase, and post-class feedback decays by the hour. QR codes and join codes collect it before people have rewritten the story.
Friction is drop-off you can avoid
No sign-up wall means fewer people bounce before question one. That is usually a larger gain than rewriting the thank-you screen.
Optional leads, after they have already helped
Ask for a name and email at the natural end if you need a follow-up. Keep it skippable so honesty does not require a marketing opt-in.
One share panel, not a campaign tool
Copy the URL, download the QR, read out the join code. Distribution stays a two-minute job so you can spend the time on the questions.
Frequently asked questions
Do people need a Nice Forms account to answer?
No. Respondents open the public survey link, scan the QR code, or enter the 6-digit join code. Accounts are for the people who build and analyse surveys, not for the people who fill them in.
How do I share a survey with a QR code?
Publish the survey, open the share panel, and use the generated QR code. Print it, put it on a slide, or add it to packaging. Scanning it opens the same public URL on a phone.
What is a survey join code?
It is a 6-digit code tied to your published survey. People visit the join page, type the code, and land in the questionnaire. It is built for rooms, workshops, and classes where a long URL is clumsy.
Can I share the same survey in more than one place?
Yes. The link, QR code, and join code all open the same survey and write into the same results. You do not create extra copies unless you actually want a separate questionnaire.
Will the survey work on a phone?
Yes. The player is designed for mobile: large tap targets, one question or a short page at a time, and no app install. Most in-person scans will happen on a phone, so that has to work first.
Can I collect contact details without blocking the survey?
Yes. Lead capture is an optional step after the last question. People can leave a name and email for a follow-up, or skip it and stay anonymous. The answers are already saved either way.

Make the survey as easy to open as it is to answer — then get out of the way.
