Available thank you screen actions:
Here's a detailed breakdown of the available actions:
Disabled: Your respondents will see the thank you message you've written for them, without any further actions.
Page redirect: Let your respondents know you'd route them to an external page and then redirect them.
Button: Include a CTA button in your survey, and redirect them to the location after they click on this button.
Social buttons: Get respondents to become your Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn followers.
💡Tip: You can route your respondent to a specific question, or action based on their response. As an example, if someone's a promoter (gives a response of 9-10 to your NPS survey), you could route them to an external page where they would be able to submit a positive review for your business, and if they are a detractor (gives a response of 0-6), you can ask them a text question for further insights. See our article to learn how to set up survey logic.
Available question/action types per survey channel
The available question/action types vary across different distribution methods.
Link and email surveys:

Each question can be preceded by an introduction message. It serves to provide further information on the survey or instructions as to how something should be done.
You can use HTML to format both questions and answer choices. This will allow you to insert images, add a hyperlink, or use a bold font.
🚀 Now that you're familiar with question types, how about you try and set up your first survey? You'll be amazed at how useful your survey insights can be!
