Create a Survey
- Navigate to Customers > Surveys
- Click Create Survey button
- Fill out the information as described below.
- Save.
- To distribute the survey you just created, see steps below for sharing and including a survey in a campaign.
First is the General section, which will walk through the essential info required to get started on the survey.
- Survey name: The internal name to help keep track of each one, not shown to the customers. This is a required field in order to be created & saved.
- Internal Description: Used to give more details regarding this particular survey, also only seen internally but gives more context or notes on what it may be used for.
- Archived: Hide the survey entirely and do not contribute its stats in totals
- Start Date: When this survey will be available, before this date users will be shown a "Survey going live on x" screen
- End Date: When this survey stops taking responses and becomes unavailable, users will get a screen that they will no longer be able to take the survey.
This section allows the changing of text in certain sections at the start of Survey.
- Title: Displays at the top
- Body text: Displays in the middle, medium size
- Body Sub-text: Displays under the Body in a smaller size
- Button Sub-text: Displays under the Submit button
- Footer Text: Displays at the bottom of the section, ideal for privacy policies/consent reminders
Responses to questions are stored in the Persona profile. Personas can be segmented based on their answers within the Audience builder. See Using Surveys to Create Audiences.
- Surveys sent through campaigns will not require a phone number or email.
- Surveys not associated with campaigns will collect the respondent's phone number or email. This is done to link the survey to a customer profile.
You can optionally allow anonymous reponses.
If you allow anonymous responses, we will not store the survey on the Persona and you cannot use it to create Audiences.
You can either create a new question or select from existing.
- Label: The Question you are looking to be answered and is displayed to the customer
- Placeholder: Useful to show a suggestion to the customer what they can answer in a text box
