In certain cases, you may want to link a parent directly to an online form on their student's checklist, instead of the entire checklist. While the Inquiry form and calendars can be shared through a direct public link, custom forms and recommendation forms cannot be shared through a public link. As a workaround, you can use Direct Form Link Merge Fields (tokens) in your Finalsite Enrollment emails. These tokens will pull in a unique link to the form on the student's checklist. After clicking the link, families will need to log into their Parent Portal account, and then they will be taken directly to the first page of the form.

How-To
To use these tokens in your Finalsite Enrollment emails, you will want to make sure you have the display name or canonical name of the form you would like to use. There are two ways you can insert the tokens:
Using the Merge Field Picker
Select Contact in the first box and Link to Form [Form Name] in the second box. You can type into the second box to begin searching. Once you have selected the desired Direct Form Link token, click on Insert to place it in the body of the email. Example:
Typing Directly into the Email
If you have the canonical name of the form you want to link, you can type the merge field directly into the body of your email. All Direct Form Link tokens will take the form of: {{contact.link_to_form_[Canonical Name of Form]}}. For example, to link to this form:
You would type {{contact.link_to_form_intent_to_enroll}} into the body of your email.
