Increase Signup Confirmations with “Sniper Links”
According to Litmus and Mailchimp, 27 to 61% of new users won’t confirm their email after sign up, due to:
- Friction in the onboarding process.
- Pesky spam folders.
- Distraction from their inboxes.
So, how can you get users to focus and confirm on the spot? Enter: Sniper Links.
- Add a personalized shortcut to your “confirm email” page based on the email address they’ve just entered (i.e. “Open Gmail”).
- Tweak that shortcut URL to include parameters that simulate a search query, resulting in an inbox that displays only your confirmation email, even if it landed in the spam folder. No distractions.

Q for You
Formless by Typeform
“Is this the right place?”
“No.”
…And that’s the extent of a traditional 404 page’s helpfulness. But what if it could guide users back to what they’re looking for on your site with a little help from an AI chatbot? Use the Formless conversation builder to set a tone of voice, welcome and end screen, conversation path, and visuals to answer users’ questions and keep them from leaving.
