Event workflow

Collect event feedback before releasing certificates

Use an Unlock Form to ask recipients for feedback, testimonials, project links, or files before releasing their event certificate.

Post-event feedback is easy to ignore when it arrives in a separate survey. An Unlock Form connects the response to certificate release. Each recipient receives a unique private link by email; they can respond without signing in or entering a code. Choose Release Automatically After Submission or Review Before Release when configuring the form; responses appear in Unlock Responses. The glossary calls the feature a Certificate Unlock Form.

In the glossary: Certificate Unlock Form.

How it works

Unlock Form

  1. 01

    Build your form

    Ask for ratings, feedback, testimonials, project links, or files relevant to your event.

  2. 02

    Publish the certificate

    When the certificate is published with the Unlock Form enabled, existing recipients waiting for release and recipients added later receive a unique link by email.

  3. 03

    Release certificates

    Choose Release Automatically After Submission in the form configuration, or choose Review Before Release and accept each response in the Unlock Responses inbox to release that recipient's certificate.

Common questions

Can I release certificates automatically after someone responds?
Yes. Choose Release Automatically After Submission. Or choose Review Before Release and accept each response in Unlock Responses.
Do recipients need a Verifycate account?
No. Each recipient receives a unique private response link and does not need to sign in or complete an OTP step.
Can I collect files or links?
Yes. An Unlock Form can collect feedback, testimonials, project links, and file submissions.
Can I use an Unlock Form to collect names I never had?
No. Share the Issue Request Form for that. It is Verifycate's public Certificate Request Form; an Unlock Form is sent to recipients you have already added.
