Throttling

Limit form views and responses over time

Throttling sets limits on how often an in-app form can be shown and how many responses are accepted within a timeframe. It applies to Manual triggers, Auto triggers, or both; shareable-link traffic is not included. Per-user throttling can add separate limits for each user.

When to use

  • Controlling how often users see the form (e.g. once per week)
  • Limiting response volume to match your capacity
  • Preventing a single user from submitting multiple times
  • Managing exposure across manual and auto-triggered in-app forms

Configuration

  1. Go to Distribution → Advanced Options and locate Throttling.
  2. Toggle to Enabled.
  3. Choose a Timeframe (e.g. Per Week, Per Day, Per Month).
  4. Set Maximum Views — the upper limit on how many times the form can be shown (e.g. 80,000).
  5. Set Maximum Responses — the upper limit on submissions (e.g. 1,000).
  6. Under Apply these limits on, check the boxes that apply:
    • Manual — limits apply to manually triggered forms
    • Auto — limits apply to automatically triggered forms
  7. (Optional) Enable Per-user throttling to apply additional limits per user:
    • Choose Per-user Timeframe (e.g. Per Week).
    • Set Per-user Maximum Views (e.g. 80).
    • Set Per-user Maximum Responses (e.g. 5).
    • Apply the per-user limits to Manual, Auto, or both as needed.
