Some question types are mandatory by default, so it's not possible for respondents to skip them.

The information below is relevant for Website or in-product and Email or Shareable link survey.

In Mobile and Intercom Messenger surveys, mandatory questions may be different.

The following questions are always required:

  • Welcome message

  • Matrix question

The following question types have the requirement selectable

(can be made non-mandatory):

  • Text Answer question

  • Single answer selection

  • Multiple answer selection

  • Dropdown list

  • Smiley scale

  • Rating scale

  • NPS® (Net Promoter Score)

  • Contact form question

  • Date question

Text answer, Date and Dropdown questions

To make Text, Date, or Dropdown questions mandatory, go to the Settings of the question and enable the Answer required option:

If a question didn’t have the Submit button, and then was set as non-required, we’ll enable the Submit button so that a respondent can move forward without answering the question.

Contact form question

To make a Contact form question required, click on the ⭐ star icon next to the field you'd like to make required:

💡 When a Consent checkbox is added to a Contact form question, it becomes mandatory.
