A LeadsHook V2 Decision Tree<\/strong> can be put in front of visitors in two ways: share a Direct Link<\/strong>, or place the Embed Code<\/strong> inside a page on your website. This guide shows where both options are located in the current V2 interface, what every setting does, and how to test the result before sending traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Finish the changes you want visitors to see.<\/li>
  2. Publish the Decision Tree. If you change it later, publish the new version and test the live link or embedded page again.<\/li>
  3. Decide which connected domain should appear in the link or embed code.<\/li>
  4. Use Preview only while checking changes. Preview disables cache and displays a preview banner, so leave it off for normal visitor traffic.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Where to find both options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. Open Decision Trees<\/strong> from the top navigation.<\/li>
    2. Find the Decision Tree you want to share.<\/li>
    3. In the Action<\/strong> column, click the three-dot Actions<\/strong> button.<\/li>
    4. Select Direct link<\/strong> or Embed code<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

      Option 1: Share a Direct Link<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Choose a Direct Link when your LeadsHook V2 Decision Tree should open as a separate page. No website code is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Open the tree’s Actions<\/strong> menu and select Direct link<\/strong>.<\/li>
      2. Under Select Domain<\/strong>, choose the domain visitors should see.<\/li>
      3. Copy the URL from the link field. You can also click the external-link icon to open it.<\/li>
      4. Leave Preview<\/strong> off before sharing the link with visitors. Turn it on only when you need a cache-disabled preview with the preview banner.<\/li>
      5. Open the copied URL in a private browser window and complete the Decision Tree from the first question to the final result or redirect.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
