Rather than sending someone just to your domain, you might need to send out a link that goes directly to a specific place on your site. An example of this may be if you are wanting to track the submission of a lead capture or some other type of contact form. 

Showit URL Link Structure


The structure that Showit uses for the URLs is as follows:

You can create links to be as simple or as specific as you'd like using this format.

Link To Your Site


If you would like to create a link to your site, all you have to do is type out your domain name after the https:// and you're good to go!

Example

Create a Link to a Page


If you would like to link to a specific page within your site, you will need to add a forward slash followed by the page slug after your domain.

Example

A URL that links directly to a specific page will look something like this:

Create a Link to a Canvas


Linking to a canvas within a page in your site follows a similar format. To link to a canvas you would need to add a hashtag (pound symbol) followed by the canvas slug after your domain and page slug.

Example

A URL that links directly to a canvas within a page will look something like this. Be sure to add the page slug and canvas slug.

Create a Link to a Canvas View


You can create a link to a specific canvas view within your Showit site by adding a decimal followed by the number associated with the canvas view.

Note: The number associated with the canvas view is always one less that the view number itself. The first canvas view is 0, the second view is 1, etc.
