How to Share Snapshots in Sparkforge: Link Types and Setup
Sparkforge snapshots can be shared via permanent, one-time, email, agency-restricted, or sub-account restricted links. Toggle Assets Protected to stop recipients from copying or re-sharing protected content.
Snapshot sharing generates a secure link that lets another agency or sub-account import a curated package of assets — funnels, workflows, forms, templates, and more. Picking the right link type protects your IP and matches the use case.
Why share via snapshots
- Speed — roll out proven funnels and automations in minutes across many accounts.
- Consistency — distribute standardized builds and avoid configuration drift.
- Control — single-use, permanent, or restricted links for each scenario.
- Protection — lock down high-value assets with Assets Protected.
- SaaS scale — auto-provision new SaaS signups with a default snapshot.
Generate a share link
- Go to Agency View > Account Snapshots > My Snapshots.
- Find your snapshot, click the three-dot menu, then Share Snapshot.
- Choose a share option (see types below).
- (Optional) Toggle Assets Protected to stop copying or re-sharing of protected content.
- Click Get Link, copy it, and send it to the recipient.
Tip: to sell the snapshot on the marketplace, use the three-dot menu and select Sell on Marketplace for a guided listing flow.
Link types
| Link type | Who can import | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent | Anyone with the URL | Unlimited imports until you revoke or delete. |
| One-Time | Anyone with the URL until first import | Expires after one successful import. |
| Email recipient | Single use, delivered via email. | |
| Agency-Restricted | Listed agency relationship IDs only | Unlimited imports into the listed agencies. |
| Sub-Account Restricted | Specified sub-accounts only | Single destination, no cross-agency reuse. |
| Marketplace | Buyers via the Sparkforge App Marketplace | Backend URL for marketplace listings; IP protection on by default. |
Updating a shared snapshot
Snapshots are clones of a sub-account at a moment in time. Updates do not flow back to previously shared copies automatically.
- Inside your agency: refresh the snapshot, then push updates to the linked sub-accounts.
- Outside your agency: refresh the snapshot, then re-share the new link. External agencies must re-import.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all link types available on every plan?
Yes. Permanent, one-time, email, agency-restricted, sub-account restricted, and marketplace links are available on every snapshot-enabled plan.
Do shared snapshot updates push automatically?
No. A snapshot is a clone of a sub-account at a point in time. Updates only sync to sub-accounts inside your own agency via push updates. External agencies must re-import a refreshed link.
What does Assets Protected do?
It prevents recipients from duplicating or re-sharing protected content from the snapshot. Use it when you want recipients to use the assets but not extract or resell them.
How do I update a snapshot for sub-accounts in my agency?
Refresh the snapshot to capture the latest changes from the source sub-account, then click Push Updates and select which sub-accounts and assets to sync.
