Add hyperlinks to your forms to direct clients to outside websites, resources, or calls to action. Using the text box element in the form builder, you can insert a text link, a button link, or a clickable image.

To insert a hyperlink on a form, you first need to open a form in the form builder.
Navigate to Forms ➔ Form templates.
Select a form template, or create a new one.
The form opens in the form builder.
You can also edit forms applied to a project. Open the project, click the Forms tab, and select a form to edit.
All three hyperlink types below use the Text Box element from the elements panel.

FAQ
Can I add a hyperlink to elements other than text boxes?
No. Hyperlinks — text links, button links, and image links — are only available through the text box element's formatting toolbar. The standalone image element does not support hyperlinks.
Why does my button link color not match my brand?
The button link color is based on the brand color set in Settings ➔ Styling. If you recently changed your brand color, check that the update has been saved.
Will my client lose their form progress if they click a hyperlink?
If you check Open link in new tab when inserting the link, the link opens in a new browser tab and the form stays open. If you do not check this box, the client navigates away from the form.
