We have added new tools and tutorials to make it easier to build better email auto-responders for your surveys. With the Merge Helper and Email Merge Helper, you can incorporate values from your survey automatically into a survey triggered email auto-responder.

What can you use the Email Auto-responders for?

• Notifying you of each survey taken and providing you a copy of the results
• Sending a name-customized confirmation to survey takers to thank them
• Providing a copy of answers back to respondents - good for tests or quizzes
• Confirming the opt-in to someone joining your newsletter list or submitting a customer service contact form
• Get fancy - Use our landing page template for a “Top Ten Tips on _______.” Then, send then one tip a day, automatically scheduled, over the next ten days.

Use the new Merge Helper to grab any value from a survey and insert it into your survey. You can read more about Auto-responders and the Merge Helper in this tutorial.

Survey Templates

Last week we released new survey templates, but this is the first chance we have had to blog about it. When creating a survey, now you can choose from blank, one of our templates, or a copy of one of your own surveys. Right now there are just three templates, but we’ll be bringing on more. We also encourage user-submitted templates as well!

Keep in mind the survey templates are sets of sample questions. They can be paired with any look & feel template. They can also easily be edited or adapted as you need. Remove, add or edit questions as desired.

You can also preview a template before choosing it.
