Create a link

A slug is a short, branded link that redirects to one of your Google Forms — for example, go.formslug.com/feedback instead of a long docs.google.com/forms/d/e/... URL. Slugs are created from inside the Google Forms editor using the FormSlug add-on.

Section titled “Open the add-on”

Create the slug

Section titled “Create the slug”
  1. In the FormSlug sidebar, click + Create new link (or follow the onboarding prompt on first run).
  2. In Link name, type the slug you want — for example feedback or q1-launch. Letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Some names like login and admin are reserved.
  3. The Destination URL is pre-filled with the URL of the form you have open; edit it if you want to point the slug at a different form.
  4. (Optional) Add a short Label to remember what this slug is for. Labels are visible to your team and are limited to 20 characters.
  5. As you type, the sidebar shows a live preview of the resulting short URL.
  6. Click Create link.

The sidebar shows a success screen with your new short URL and a Copy link button.

Section titled “Share your link”

Click Copy link in the sidebar, or copy the URL from My links, and paste it anywhere: email, Slack, a printed flyer, a QR code.

When someone opens the slug, FormSlug redirects them to your Google Form and counts the click toward your analytics.

Naming tips

Section titled “Naming tips”
  • Keep slugs short and lowercase: signup reads better than Sign-Up-2026-Q1.
  • Use hyphens, not underscores: team-survey, not team_survey.
  • Slugs are unique within your workspace. If the name is taken, FormSlug tells you and you can pick another.
