2. Connect your SurveyMonkey account when prompted (OAuth flow via Composio)
3. Start issuing natural language commands for SurveyMonkey automation

Core Workflows

The created survey starts with one empty page and no questions. Use the returned survey_id with other actions to add content and configure collectors.

6. Full Survey Lifecycle Workflow

Combine tools for end-to-end survey management:

1. Create: SURVEY_MONKEY_CREATE_SURVEY -- create the survey, store the survey_id
2. Distribute: SURVEY_MONKEY_GET_COLLECTORS -- retrieve the collector link to share with respondents
3. Monitor: SURVEY_MONKEY_GET_SURVEY_DETAILS -- check response counts and survey status
4. Collect: SURVEY_MONKEY_GET_RESPONSES -- retrieve completed responses, filter by status=completed
5. Audit: SURVEY_MONKEY_GET_SURVEYS -- browse and find surveys if survey_id is lost
