"Sorry you can’t access this typeform until the creator says so"


Hi, 

 

I’ve just put together my form of 7 questions. 

I then copied the link to my instagram bio but it doesn’t work.

 

I’m getting a message saying “Sorry you can’t access this typeform until the creator says so”

Is it something in settings that needs changing? I can’t find any setting options anywhere. 

 

Any help much appreciated! 

 

Thanks 

Ben

I believe I have worked out why this is happening.

 

When you create a form, and proceed to Sharing, without first publishing, this error occurs. Unfortunately, i’ve not found a way to fix, once you have gone to sharing first. 

 

Only solve is to delete the form and start again.

OK, Thanks.

And: This is what obviously triggered the bug in my case. I proceeded to the share unpublished.

Good to know: Publish first. Then share.

Hey @Discopjot @SaaSMouth - I’m the product manager working on this area and doing some digging.

I’m struggling to replicate the error here, even when I share and embed before publishing. Is this something you’re still running into?

 

Thanks, Dan

The problem isn’t with share and embed before publishing.

The problem is with embedding a duplicated form:
 

 

I tested on our platform https://www.podhash.com/ which was built on Node.js & Next.js - maybe it’s a technical issue.

Hey @MaxPodhash - have you got any more details to share? I’ve also been testing embedding a duplicated form and can’t see any reason you’d be running into a problem.

 

I can’t see why your tech stack would interfere w/ a duplicate form being embedded.

I recently started using Typeform to create a survey. After obtaining the embed link, I tried to post it on Squarespace but received the error message that this thread is about. Upon reading this thread, I discovered that publishing the form was necessary, which I promptly did. However, the error persisted. To resolve the issue, I deleted the original form, created a new one, published it first, and then embedded it. Fortunately, this approach worked perfectly.

Thank you @SaaSMouth !
