Start by creating a new survey and choose whether to generate a survey with AI, select a template, or start from scratch.

Add question blocks and pick types (open-ended, multiple choice, scale). Use the preview to confirm the conversation flow.

Set targeting parameters and QA checks before launching. Use a small pilot to validate flow and timing.

Examples

  • A 5-question customer satisfaction mini-survey that uses a rating scale and one open-ended follow-up.
  • An employee pulse check with conditional branching based on department.

Steps

  1. Create a new survey
    From the dashboard click Create. Choose whether to start from scratch, use AI to generate a survey, or pick a template that matches your goal.
