Publishing Flows

How do I publish my Submission Flow?

  1. In your call for papers, navigate to the Publish Flow. Click on the blue ‘Publish Submission Flow’ button.
  2. This will bring up a dialogue box asking you to ‘Choose a subdomain’: Choose a subdomain
  3. The ‘subdomain’ is the part of the web address that goes before ‘.cfp.lineup.ninja’. It must be unique, so we recommend you use something like the name of your event and - if it’s an annual event - the year. For example, in 2019, Event Tech Live used ‘etl19’.
  4. When you’ve entered a unique name that you’re happy with, click ‘publish’.
  5. This will automatically create a web page hosted at yoursubdomain.cfp.lineup.ninja
  6. A clickable link will appear at the top of the ‘Publish Flow’ view.
