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.

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. 


Create and manage Response Tags with the all-new Tag Manager

Use Zonka Feedback's all new Tag Manager to create, update, merge and delete tags — all in one place.

Response Tags are great to classify, categorize and manage your responses. Use the same tags across multiple surveys and assign tags to survey responses manually or automatically. 

Here's how you can go to the Tag Manager in your account.

With the all new Tag Manager, you can now control all the Response Tags in your account — and use them for categorizing your feedback responses better. 

(With Auto Tagging, you can effectively use Tags to automatically get assigned to new, incoming responses). 

Eliminate Order Bias with Choice Randomization

Make your surveys free from bias and collect genuine responses with Choice Randomization. With it, you can present the choices of questions in random order every time a survey is taken.

You can use the Choice Randomization setting in every choice based question type — Button Choice, Dropdown, Radio Buttons, Checkbox, and Picture Choice question. 

Survey Question Choice Randomization can be helpful in various scenarios

  • If you want to prevent order bias while respondents answer your survey. 
  • If your respondents tend to collude among each other, especially in market research, quizzes.  

Automatically Categorize your Responses with Auto Tagging

Introducing Auto Tagging to manage and categorize your Responses in Zonka Feedback. 

Based on comments in open-ended questions, set auto tag rules for keywords and phrases to auto-tag your responses and manage them like never before. 

Besides categorizing your responses better, Auto Tagging helps your team to filter responses based on tags and look at in-depth Tag based reports. 

Creating an Auto Tag Rule is simple. Here's how: 

  1. Go to Survey > Automation 
  2. Select a question from the survey to run the match
  3. Add a keyword or phrase to compare with
  4. Select the tag to be assigned when the match occurs.

Let your responses come in and let Zonka Feedback manage tags for you.

Refreshed Look & Improved Experience for Web Surveys 🌟

How surveys look and work is crucial to what we do here at Zonka Feedback. 

With that in mind, we made minor tweaks (and significant improvements) to how the working of Web Surveys. 

While making everything look better, improvements in sizes and spacing, we also improved accessibility for buttons and elements. And we're very excited to share it with you. 

Here's all that's new: 

  • Done Button
    Many of our customers felt that respondents sometimes missed the Done button when they reached the last question. We took this feedback and moved the Done button to the right below the last question, making it hard to miss. 

  • Navigation Buttons
    To improve the accessibility of the navigation buttons and for respondents to scroll through the survey quickly, we moved the navigation buttons to the bottom. The controls are now together on large screens (like laptops and desktops) on the bottom right-hand side. For smaller screens (handheld devices), the navigation buttons are on the bottom on two sides.

  • Language Change Button 
    We have also moved the Language Change button to the bottom to clean up the top section for logo and branding with the navigation buttons. Respondents can easily switch language now accessing the button from the bottom left-hand side.

  • New Animation Screen Transition 

    Subtle changes make big differences. We've also added a new sleek animation when you transition from one screen to another.


Hope you enjoy the refreshed look 😊
