You can either add a Dapple submission form to your website: link directly to the form's public URL or you can link to your Dapple Page that lists all your active projects. Most organisations link to their Page as the URL is branded, it does not appear behind a sign-in page and you will never need to change this link - projects appearing within this link can be updated directly in Dapple.
Which approach should I use?
Approach | When to use | Pros / cons |
Direct link | You're promoting a single specific opportunity | Simplest. The link changes only when you delete the project. |
Page link | You run multiple programmes at once | One URL listing all your active opportunities. Update content on the Dapple side; your website stays static. |
Before you start
Open the project → Form Builder.
Double-check every field — labels, required toggles, file types, payment configuration.
Click Save new version.
Click Preview / View Form to confirm the form renders the way you expect.
Step 1: Make sure the form is published
The form needs to be at Private or Public visibility before any link will work. Full visibility guide: How to Make a Submission Form Public
Step 2: Get the link from the Share tab
Open the project → Share tab.
Copy the public URL.
Or use the QR code for printed materials.
Or grab the embed snippet if you want the form embedded.
Step 3: Add the link to your website
Use the URL wherever a link lives:
As a button on your homepage — 'Submit Here' or 'Apply Now'.
As a hyperlink in body copy.
As a call-to-action in email campaigns.
In social media posts.
On listings or directory sites.
Best practice
Test the link or embed before broadcasting it — open in an incognito window and walk through as a creator.
Run a free $0 test submission for paid forms to confirm the whole flow works.
Use a QR code on physical materials — posters, postcards, exhibition signage.
Monitor submissions after launch — if entries aren't coming in, the link or the embed is the first thing to check.
If the form's purpose or fields change significantly, update the URL on your website too. Old URLs can hang around for years.
