# Request funds by link

> Give partners a shareable link to submit an MDF request in seconds, attributed to the right partner.

export const noun_0 = "MDF request"

export const verb_0 = "request"

The lowest-friction way for a partner to ask for MDF is a link they can open and fill in from anywhere. A partner-specific link goes further: it attributes every request to that partner automatically, so the request is tied to the right allocation from the start. Reach for this when you want to drop a request path into an email, a Slack channel, or a portal message rather than relying on partners to navigate.

## What you'll achieve

A shareable MDF request link partners can use immediately, with an optional partner-specific variant that credits each submission to the right partner so it lands against the correct fund and allocation.

## Before you start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm the fund and its request form">
    A fund with its request form must exist on [Marketing Funds](https://app.introw.io/marketing-funds). See [Set up an MDF program](/features/mdf/funds-allocation/guides/set-up-an-mdf-program).

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the form's share dialog">
    In [Forms](https://app.introw.io/forms), open your {noun_0} form and open its **Share form** dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the link">
    On the **Link** tab, copy the general link to share with anyone, or the partner link to attribute every submission to a specific partner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send it to partners">
    Drop the link into an email, a portal message, a Slack channel, or anywhere your partners already are. A partner link credits that partner every time they {verb_0} a deal.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

Open the link yourself, submit a test request, and confirm it appears in [Submissions](https://app.introw.io/submissions) against the right fund. A partner link should show the submission attributed to that partner.
