Survey FAQs

What is required to make a Survey?

  • Survey Name (That's it!)

How can I share my Survey?

  • Though marketing channels using the {{survey-id}} macros
  • QR codes
  • By URL / link

What is the difference between anonymous and regular Surveys?

IF Survey is anonymous

  1. We do NOT require knowledge of who is submitting the survey.
  2. Submitters will NOT be asked to provide their phone/email if unidentifiable

IF Survey is NOT anonymous

  1. We DO require knowledge of who is submitting the survey.
  2. Submitters WILL be asked to provide their phone/email if unidentifiable

What does "unidentifiable" contact mean?

If a survey has NOT been sent though a marketing channel (campaign) we have no knowledge of who is receiving or filling out the survey. Therefore, that user is unidentifiable (without them providing a phone/email) which we can use to look them up internally.

What is a survey submission?

Any time a user clicks the "submit" button and completes the survey.

What's required upon submission?

IF Survey is anonymous

  1. Required survey answers must be completed & valid
  2. No other information is required

IF Survey is NOT anonymous

  1. Required survey answers must be completed & valid
  2. IF ContactID is known
    1. We do not require any further information
  3. ELSE
    1. We require a phone OR email

Keep in mind, non-required questions are 'optional' and will not force user input.

What if I change a Question input type?

Any insights attached to that survey will be lost when you edit the type of survey question to an incompatible data type.

  • e.g. Switching a Text input "Example" with 1,000 submitted text responses to a Date input. We are unable to convert text ➝ date, so the question's ID will be updated, detaching it from it's survey responses.
  • Recommended Flow: Rather than editing the question after it's had successful responses, try disabling it instead (removing it from the form). Insights will still show for this question in the insights drawer and will prevent data loss.
