In the Configure tab, you can modify settings responsible for identifying the respondents and survey status.
Here's what you can achieve:
enable or disable your survey;
choose the tool to identify respondents with;
set up survey retaking;
select the trigger to disable the survey automatically.
This article shows how to customize survey settings. If you want to learn first how to create and design the survey, please navigate to the previous sections.
Step 1. Choose your survey provider
If you send your surveys via one of the supported distribution providers, we will automatically capture respondents' email addresses and full names using software-aware links. You'll get to know what was the response each person gave!
Move to the Configure tab and choose the tool from the dropdown list to automatically identify your respondents. Select the email provider you are going to send your surveys with.
❗️If you need your responses to be anonymous, you can skip this step.
Currently, we support sending surveys with:
Intercom, Mailchimp, Hubspot, Klaviyo, Calendly, ActiveCampaign, Sendgrid, Salesforce, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot), Zendesk, Sharpspring, Drip, Keap, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Freshsales, ConstantContact, GetResponse, Ortto, Customer.io, Mailgun, iPresso, Campaign Monitor, Help Scout, ZohoCampaigns, Vero, Drift, Braze, Bronto, SALESmanago, Lifecycle.io.

💡 You might still be able to identify your respondents even if your distribution provider is not on the list. Learn more about that in this article.
Step 2. Enable survey retaking
You can let your respondents answer the survey only once, or with a selected frequency, from the same browser.
If you want to collect recurring insights from the same person, you can modify the Survey retaking settings.
You can choose to:
Allow the survey to be taken multiple times by the same respondent
With this option toggled on, you should select if the survey should allow another submission immediately, or after some time has passed.
Each submission will be assigned the same respondent ID.
You can also use kiosk mode by enabling the Survey multiple respondents on a single device option. Once enabled, the survey will treat each submission from the same device as a new respondent.
Optionally, you can toggle on the Refresh the survey after completion function, so that the first question of the survey is shown soon after someone finished responding.
If the retaking settings don't allow the person to answer the survey again, we will show a You have already responded to this survey message to the users who have already completed the survey.
💡If you want to test your survey multiple times, you can enable the Refresh the survey after completion option or do one of the following:
clear your browser cache,
test on another device
use incognito mode of a browser
Make sure to close the incognito window every time you submit a new response.
Step 3. Activate your survey
Under your survey's status, you can enable or disable your survey. Once disabled, your survey will stop collecting further responses, and we will display This survey is currently unavailable message when someone visits the survey URL.
❗️Please, note that if the respondent opens the survey URL before it was disabled, the response will still be collected and recorded.
Step 4. Set up responses limit
You can set a response limit for your survey. We will automatically stop the survey when this response limit is reached.
When the periodical Limit of responses within a period is reached, the survey will change its status to Paused with an indication on when it will be reactivated.
❗️ Limits of responses within a period are counted on a calendar basis - calendar day, week, month, year.
❗️If you would like to reactivate it earlier, you need to increase the Limit of responses within a period and enable the survey after that. If you don't enable a survey, it will not be activated automatically when the Limit of responses within a period is increased, you need to enable it on your own.
❗️There can be a delay of up to 10 minutes for the survey to be disabled when the responses limit is reached.
If you don't want to have any limits, disable this feature.
Step 5. Set up the end date
You can stop your survey on a specific date as well. We will stop your survey on the selected day at 0:00 GMT.
