This guide will help you understand how to generate and use single-use links within our application.

​
Purpose

  • Single-use links (or one-time / disposable links) are URLs that grant access to a survey only once.
  • The primary purpose of single-use links is to assure that no respondent submits a survey twice.
Want to create up to 5,000 single-use links? Use our API endpoint for that.
Using single-use links with Formbricks is quite straight-forward:
  1. In the survey settings, toggle “Single Use Link” on: Single use survey settings
  2. When you publish your survey, the following modal will open: Share modal with 7 single use links which can be regenerated Here, you can copy and generate as many single-use links as you need.

​
