Before you send your form into the world, ChatWisp gives you safe ways to test it. And once it is live, you control exactly when it opens, when it closes, and what happens afterward.
Previewing before you go live
Preview your form to experience it exactly as a respondent would — the live voice conversation, branching, controls, and the closing screen. Preview sessions are completely safe: they are never counted in your results, analytics, or totals.
Preview from the builder's Preview button, from any form card on your dashboard, or by adding ?preview=1 to a form link. Use it to test branching paths and listen to the voice and personality in action.
The form lifecycle
A form moves through four clear states, which you control from the Customize workspace:
- Draft — your work in progress. Not collecting responses, but fully previewable. Autosave is generous, so you will not lose work.
- Published — live and accepting responses via your share link or embed.
- Closed — no longer accepting new responses; respondents see a friendly "this form has closed" screen. All existing responses are preserved.
- Archived — tucked away off your main dashboard; results remain available.
You can move a form between states any time — close it early when you hit your target, reopen it for more, or archive it when a project is done.
Response limits and expiration
When you publish, you can set optional limits: a maximum number of responses and an expiration date. When a limit is reached, respondents see a warm, branded "we are no longer accepting responses" message rather than a broken page.
Rotating your link
You can rotate the share token at any time to instantly retire every link you have sent before. Your form and its settings stay intact; only the link changes.
