This second solution is ideal if you want to collect personal information, the first is to be preferred to carry out a vote or a survey.

Use the buttons on the right to add questions or text to your form.

  • Checkbox group: Adds a list of choices in checkbox format, allowing multiple selections.
  • Date field: Adds a field for entering a date.
  • Header: Adds a large title.
  • Number: Adds a field to input a number with increment/decrement buttons.
  • Paragraph: Adds a block of text.
  • Radio button group: Adds a field similar to a checkbox group, but only one selection is allowed.
  • Dropdown: Adds a dropdown menu with optional multi-selection.
  • Text input field: Adds a field for entering text.

Sending the Form

There are two ways to send the form to the individuals you wish to survey:

  • From the form: Click the Send button, then select your recipients.
  • From the contacts list: Select your recipients and use the « send a form » collection action.

Be careful not to select a sample size that is too small, as your survey will not be representative.

Recipients receive an email with a unique link to complete the form:

Anti-fraud: The link sent is unique, and once responses are submitted and the form is saved, the action cannot be repeated.

Analyzing the Results

The Result tab of the form allows you to view the results of your survey in real time, both as graphs and as a detailed list.

Test your survey before sending it. There’s nothing more frustrating than realizing, after sending the survey, that an important question or choice is missing. Send the form to yourself, test it, and when you’re satisfied, click the Clear Results button to ensure accurate responses.
