# Survey links and channels

> Copy your survey's link, and give each place you share it its own channel so you can see where responses come from.

Source: https://docs.hearsay.co.in/share/links-and-channels

Every published survey has one link, like `https://hearsay.co.in/s/SURVEY_ID`. Send it anywhere: email, WhatsApp, Instagram, a receipt, your order confirmation.

## Copy the link

- On the **Surveys** page, open the survey's **More actions** menu and choose **Share and channels**, or **Copy link**.
- Right after publishing, use **Copy link** on the **Your survey is live** screen.

A draft has no link yet: publish it first.

## Channels: see where responses come from

A channel is a copy of the link with a name, like `?source=instagram`. Responses through it are counted separately, so you can tell whether your counter QR code or your newsletter brings more answers.

![The Share survey dialog: the default link and one link per channel, with opens and responses](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/hearsay-53fed.firebasestorage.app/o/docs%2Fshots%2Fshare-dialog%2F127cc9247829ea52.webp?alt=media "Links and channels in the Share survey dialog")

1. Open **Share and channels** from the survey's **More actions** menu.
2. Under **Add a channel**, type a **Channel name**, such as `newsletter`, or click a preset: **Counter QR**, **Table tent**, **Receipt** or **Poster**.
3. Choose **Add channel**.

Each channel gets its own row under **Links**, with its opens and responses so far, and **QR code**, **Copy link** and **Share** buttons. **Default link** is the plain link.

Channel names use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens (`social-media`, not `Social Media`), up to 40 characters. `default`, `other` and `embed` are taken.

> **Tip**
>
> If someone opens the link with a `?source=` value that isn't one of your channels, the response is counted under **Other**.

## See results by channel

On the Analytics page, the **Traffic channels** card shows opens, completions and conversion for each channel, and you can filter any chart by **Channel**. See [Read your results](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/results/analytics).
