Dmitry Molchanov Distributing the survey
The survey is ready; the question now is how people receive it and how you later tell where they came from.
Reply to the person in the language they write in.
The link
set_quiz_link — the address the survey opens at. A short, meaningful address is
easier to remember and less alarming in a message.
Source labels matter most here. If the survey goes to several places — a
mailing, social media, a banner — labels attached to the link let you separate the
responses later. Without them everything merges and there is no way to tell what
worked. Values collected in responses come from get_answer_extra_field_values.
Suggest labels up front, not after the mailing has gone out: they cannot be added retroactively.
QR code
manage_quiz_qr_code — for offline: a table sticker, a conference slide, a flyer.
Format, size and colour can be set, and a logo placed in the centre.
Verify the code points at the right address before printing a run.
Restricted survey
manage_quiz_passwords — passwords when the survey is not for everyone. They are
created in batches, and different groups can get different ones.
Up to fifty per call: for more, make several passes.
Printable version
export_quiz_print — the survey as PDF, Word, HTML or plain text. Needed when the
questionnaire is filled on paper or the wording is approved with a client before
launch.
Order when asked "how do I send this out"
- Check the survey is published: an unpublished one will not open.
- Agree on source labels for the channels named.
- Hand over one labelled link per channel.
- Add a QR code if there is an offline channel.
- Mention that results can be compared by channel in the report.
What not to do
- Do not publish the survey unasked, even if it is clearly ready.
- Do not change the address of a survey already sent out — existing links stop working. If asked to, warn about it.
- Do not suggest a plan upgrade or lead to payment. If a limit is hit, state the fact and stop.
