Embedding & sharing a form
Updated 21 July 2026
Embedding & Sharing Your CaterCloud Form
Once you've built a form in CaterCloud, you can put it in front of clients two ways: share a standalone link they can open directly, or embed the form on your own website so enquiries arrive without visitors ever leaving your page.
Get Your Form's Share Link
The simplest option is a direct URL that opens the form on its own page — no code required.
- Navigate to Forms and open the form you want to share.
- Copy the public link for your form (it follows the pattern
/forms/[your-form-slug]). - Paste it anywhere — an email, a social media bio, a button on your site, or a QR code.
Anyone who opens the link sees your branded form and can submit an enquiry straight away.
Embed the Form on Your Website
If you want the form to live inside your own website, use the iframe embed method.
- Take your form's public URL and add
?embed=1to the end:
```
https://app.catercloud.io/forms/[your-form-slug]?embed=1
```
- Wrap it in a standard HTML
<iframe>tag and place it in your page's HTML:
```html
<iframe
src="https://app.catercloud.io/forms/[your-form-slug]?embed=1"
width="100%"
style="border:none;"
title="Catering Enquiry">
</iframe>
```
- Paste the snippet into your website builder (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, etc.) using an HTML or Embed block.
How the Embed Behaves
- The form auto-resizes its height to fit its content, so you won't get awkward scrollbars inside the iframe.
- When a visitor submits, CaterCloud notifies the parent page so you can trigger a thank-you action if needed.
- Full-page chrome (headers, navigation) is hidden — only the form itself is shown.
Tips
- Replace
[your-form-slug]with the actual slug shown in your form's settings. - Test the embedded form in an incognito window before going live to confirm submissions reach your Forms inbox correctly.
> Tip: Pair your public form with CaterCloud's availability and service-area settings so customers only see open dates and get notified if you don't cover their location.
