Introduction

You do not need to have a web site to use BombBomb forms.

You can link to a form directly from your BombBomb email by inserting a web link to the form.

Get the URL

Select the Embed button on the form you want to link to.

On the Embed page are three code collections, "Use this for an in-place form", "Use this for a Button" and "Use this for a Link". In every one of them is a web address, or URL, you can copy and use for a link with which you can launch forms directly out of your email.

Choose any of the options and find the part of the embed code that has http://app.bombbomb.com/............ in it and copy that part including the &popup=1.

Looking at the whole code for the "Use this for a button",

<input type='button' value='Open Form' onclick="window.open( 'http://app.bombbomb.com/app/index.php?module=lists&page=subs_fo...', 'subs_form', 'toolbar = 0, scrollbars = 0, menubar = 0, resizable = 0, width = 300, height = 100, top = 50, left = 50' );">

The part you want out of this is the http://app.bombbomb.com/app/index.php?module=lists&page=subs_fo... found after the window.open statement.

Do not include the apostrophe characters when pasting in the URL.

 

Editing your email you select the text or image you want the link to be connected to. Select the Insert Link btn-link.pngbutton on the toolbar.

Set the link type to URL and paste in the form link you copied out of the form embed code to the URL field. Select save.

You are done!
