    Using Forms -> Flow -> Outlook notifications. URL would be handy if it can be customized to a meaningful extension rather than random string, any luck here? any one is able to make it happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Come on Microsoft...this is an easy win and imperative. The link does not describe what you are actually trying to send someone.

  • Rafael Gaudeoso commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    please, create this feature as all the other players like google and Typeforms. I don't want to use other external services like tinyurl for security matters!

    The link this thing generates looks like i am trying to trick people into giving out their social security numbers.

    I've noticed this request goes back to 2016. Please implement this essential and very useful feature. Is there a reason we have had to wait so long already?

    Just joining the party on this one...this would be a huge help when sending our URL to our end users, and a nice user-friendly feature. Please implement!

    We are beginning to promote our school in the community and on social media and want to use Microsoft Forms for registration to our specialist programs. Although the long URL is functional, I will now possibly need to look at another option as it does not look professional. Please create an option for shorter URL's.

    How embarrassing to send out to a large group of people in my organization.

  • C Perrin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Short URL link- this is a needed feature. The long link generated seems very unprofessional.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, some flexibility in the generation of the URL of a form would be very useful. For example, we developed a form for a client. We'll need 2 versions of it, one for responders we invite, and another one for responders online (without our intervention). One form could use a URL with the name of the project, while the other form would have a different short URL.

    Thanks!

    I would like to integrate forms at least with my domain. Even if will look horrible as it is now, but at least to be in my own domain.
    I would be better if I could control that links based on my domain so I could choose more easy to read/remember or for public ones more "SEO friendly".

    It would be a huge value if there were an option to have a short url for a form or for any link share within Office 365. Please image how daunting the length of an url is when sharing via sms or in some document. yes there are 3rd party tools, but thats one more thing to manage.

    Bit.ly links are blocked at my work, please consider giving us this feature!
