Connect your own SMS Gateway Account to send SMS Surveys

Many businesses already use SMSes to communicate with their customers - marketing messages, confirmation SMSes and more. In such cases, it makes sense to use the same gateway account to send SMS Surveys to customers. 

With Zonka Feedback, you can now connect your own SMS Gateway Account and send SMS Surveys to customers through the same. You can either use an existing SMS Gateway Account or sign up for a new one, add your API credentials to Zonka Feedback and connect your account. 

When you connect your own SMS Gateway Account, the surveys are composed and set in Zonka Feedback and are sent from your SMS Gateway Account. 

When to use this? 

You can use this option in multiple scenarios. 

  • If you already have an SMS Gateway account, you can connect it directly. 
  • If you'd like to control the cost of SMSes and monitor it at all times.

Which SMS Gateways are supported?

We currently support Twilio and SMS Gupshup SMS Gateways. Other SMS Gateways can also be connected in the Enterprise Plan, at an additional cost. 

Which plans support connecting your SMS Gateway?

You can connect your own SMS Gateway account in any plan.

Now create surveys in Turkish, Polish, Cantonese, Gaelige, Cymraeg and Afrikaans languages

We have added support for 5 more languages which would enable you to create surveys that reach out to a more linguistically diverse audience. The 5 languages are:

  • Turkish
  • Cantonese
  • Gaelige
  • Cymraeg
  • Afrikaans

Creating multilingual surveys ensures that your customers are able to give feedback in the language they speak and understand. It promotes diversity, inclusivity and leads to better response rate. What's not to love? 

Introducing Partial Surveys

Now you can create surveys that support partial submission of responses even if the respondent does not complete the survey. 

How it works

A partial survey option is available in Settings under Build. Once enabled the very first question of the survey when answered will be recorded as a legitimate response and can be viewed in the response inbox. If the respondent answers it completely then the response will be updated with the full response. This feature is currently supported in the following distribution methods:

  • Web Survey
  • Email Survey with button and embedded question
  • SMS Survey
  • Signature Embed

You can even filter responses based on partial and complete responses across Response Inbox and Analytics.
