How to Use the Data Collection App on UniLink

The Data Collection app on UniLink lets you gather structured information from your visitors through customizable input fields directly on your link-in-bio page.

What is the Data Collection App?

The Data Collection app is a lightweight data-gathering tool that allows you to create simple forms for collecting visitor information beyond just email addresses. You can ask for names, phone numbers, preferences, custom answers, or any other data point relevant to your business. It is ideal for market researchers, small businesses, event organizers, and creators who want to learn more about their audience without building a separate survey tool or landing page.

How to Enable the Data Collection App

1. Log in to your UniLink Dashboard
2. Go to the Apps section
3. Find Data Collection and click Enable
4. Configure your input fields and submission settings

Features and Configuration

• Custom Input Fields - Add text, number, dropdown, or checkbox fields to collect exactly the data you need
• Field Labels and Placeholders - Write clear instructions for each field so visitors know what information to provide
• Required Field Validation - Mark specific fields as required to ensure you always receive complete submissions
• Submission Confirmation Message - Customize the thank-you message visitors see after submitting their data
• Data Export - Download collected responses as a CSV file from your dashboard for use in spreadsheets or CRMs
• Submission Notifications - Receive an email alert each time someone completes and submits the form

Best Practices

• Keep your form short: ask only for the information you will actually use, as every extra field reduces completion rates
• Be transparent about how you will use collected data by adding a brief note or privacy statement near the form
• Export and review your collected data regularly and follow up with respondents promptly to turn leads into relationships
