How to Publish a Quiz

Quizzes behave like special pages in Atomicat. Publishing makes the quiz live at a URL on one of your sites. Unpublishing stops traffic while keeping the draft in AtomicQuiz.

Use this guide when your quiz content and flow are ready for real visitors.

Before You Start​

Make sure you have:

  • A saved quiz in the editor (steps, buttons, and Flow paths complete).
  • A site with the domain you want (custom domain verified or Atomicat subdomain). See Connect a domain.
  • Preview tested on desktop and mobile.
  • Webhooks and tracking configured if the campaign depends on them (remember to republish after webhook saves).

See Publish a quiz (reference).

Step 1: Open the Quiz Editor​

  1. Go to AtomicQuiz.
  2. Click the quiz you want to publish (or finish editing a draft).
  3. Confirm the header shows Save / Publish controls like the Page Builder.

Fix any blocking validation messages before publishing.

Step 2: Start the Publish Flow​

  1. Click Publish in the quiz header.
  2. The publish dialog opens — same pattern as publishing a page.

Step 3: Choose Site, Domain, and Slug​

In the publish dialog:

SettingWhat to choose
SiteThe publishing destination tied to your campaign domain.
DomainCustom domain or Atomicat URL visitors will use.
SlugPath after the domain (for example /quiz, /fitness-test).

Enter slugs without protocol or query strings. Example live URL shape:

https://www.yourbrand.com/fitness-quiz

Confirm you selected the correct site if your account has many sites.

Step 4: Confirm and Wait​

  1. Review site, domain, and slug one more time.
  2. Click Confirm / Publish.
  3. Wait for the success message before sharing the link in ads, email, or funnels.

Publishing may take a moment while the quiz deploys to the site.

Step 5: Test the Live URL​

  1. Copy the HTTPS link from the publish success state or Sites list.
  2. Open it in an incognito window.
  3. Complete the full quiz path you expect paid traffic to follow.
  4. Confirm forms, redirects, pixels, and webhooks fire on the published URL — not only in Preview.

Draft saves do not update the live quiz until you publish again.

Republishing After Changes​

Republish when you change:

  • Flow or step navigation
  • Webhook URLs or triggers (editor reminds you live traffic needs republish)
  • Copy or offers on result steps
  • Tracking configuration

Open Publish again and confirm — same as pages.

Unpublishing​

When you need to stop traffic quickly:

  1. Open AtomicQuiz list (or publish dialog where available).
  2. Choose Unpublish on the quiz.
  3. Confirm — the draft remains for editing; the public URL stops serving the quiz.

Use unpublish during offer changes, compliance reviews, or when retiring a campaign.

Best Practices​

  • Publish to HTTPS only before paid ads.
  • Keep slugs short and readable for tracking and support (/skin-quiz vs random IDs).
  • Document the live URL in your campaign sheet alongside pixel and webhook endpoints.
  • After publish, add the URL to funnels or embed elements if the quiz lives inside a larger journey.

Troubleshooting​

ProblemWhat to try
Publish button disabledSave first; resolve validation errors in editor.
Wrong domain in dialogVerify site connection and SSL in Sites.
Live quiz shows old contentRepublish after saves; test incognito to avoid cache.
404 on live URLConfirm slug, site, and that publish succeeded.
Webhooks not firing liveRepublish after webhook changes; test on published URL.

Outcome​

Your quiz is live at a public URL on your chosen site. Share the link in campaigns, embed it in pages or funnels, and republish whenever configuration changes.

FAQ​

Can one quiz be on two domains?

Publishing is per site/URL. Duplicate the quiz or publish to another site path following your plan rules.

Do I need to publish after only changing webhooks?

Yes. Webhook changes apply to live visitors only after publish.

Is Preview the same as the published quiz?

Preview is for testing in the editor. Always validate integrations on the published HTTPS URL.

Can I change the slug after publishing?

You may be able to publish to a new slug depending on product rules. Update ads and links if the URL changes.

What happens when I unpublish?

The quiz stays in AtomicQuiz for editing but is no longer served at the public URL until you publish again.
